- Tucson, Arizona - Gum Chewed by John Dillinger
Unless someone shows you where it is, the gum is not easily found. You also have to call for an appointment to visit the museum: 520-626-1042. We got lucky and the custodian was walking by and actually showed us around. He says he's been looking for the gum and has yet to find it.

Nice park and art piece dedicated to cancer survivors. It was reported on RA that the bronze child had been stolen. As of my visit today, it would appear it was either returned or a new boy was added. The family looks complete!

It appears El Toro has changed nationalities. His male-hood no longer reflects the American Flag as reported in 2008, but rather now sports the flag of Italy. Otherwise he's looking in pretty good shape. The restaurant, however, has been closed since April 2022 due to a kitchen fire. Unsure if it will reopen.

This steakhouse -- known for cutting off the neckties of overdressed businessmen -- briefly shuttered in 2023, has reopened. On weekend evenings you can digest your meat-meal while watching a Wild West gunfight on the street outside.
