It's a row of really cool shops of arts and antiquities, Southwest inspired furniture and home goods. Great for an afternoon of browsing with a coffee stop at Tooleys Cafe. If looking for custom furniture in a reasonable amount of time buyer beware of certain furniture makers like the Lost Barrio Gallery. This artist, although talented, works on his own schedule with no regards to customer requests. Meaning extremely slow. Rustica is the most amazing store where you will buy something for sure.

Last time I went in I found a beautiful saguaro key chain from Tucson artist Rather Keen. I appreciate that they support local artisans and it's the perfect mix of handmade, houseware, and other items with a desert vibe. I love that this space is also owned by a talented local artist, Sonoran Rosie and highly recommend visiting.

It was soo much fun walking around and seeing all the thrift and vintage items they had. I would come here all the time if I lived close to really spend time looking around at all they have to offer because this place is huge. They even have a downstairs with more items! I didn't even notice the downstairs, but my guy did. I'm soo glad I checked it out because I found a beautiful vintage metal art piece that was perfect in my guest room! I have been looking for a main art piece to hang up for months and couldn't believe my luck!

The prices are about average for an antique store. They have great selection but I wish there was more stuff and less furniture just as a personal preference. The people are super sweet and are exactly the kind of people I would want to be friends with. There is a ton of parking in front and in the back. The doors are automatic and there's an elevator and accessible bathroom so the whole building is very accessible. The really designed their new location around being inclusive to everybody and I love seeing that in Arizona. I go here every time I visit Tucson and always look forward to my next trip. Definitely give them some love and check the store out!

There are independent shops all over Tucson, but nowhere is quite as cozy as Old Town Artisans…read more With history dating back to the 19th century, Old Town further evolved into a quaint marketplace where different vendors- each with their own physical shop, operate under this big space with nice prices. My kid and I weaved in and out of the shops and even one or two eateries. There's a record shop, souvenirs, handmade Tucson products, ceramics, Native items and more. There's even a courtyard where you can lounge a bit and listen to live music. While my kid and I didn't spend too much time in each shop, Old Town A's ambiance is warm and inviting and were greeted by friendly owners eager to share the history about each of their wares.

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2022…read more The Pandemic Chronicles Pop-Cycle is located in the Downton Tucson area. Our friends took us on a tour of Tucson and they raved about Pop-Cycle. There is so much to see at Pop-Cycle. Many different items from local artisans. You can find magnets, jewelry, clothes, framed art, vintage style aprons, the list of items they sell is endless. Be careful when navigating this shop as there are so many items packed into a small space. The customer service is amazing- friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a souvenir this is a great spot. Noelle's Notes Fun spot to shop Support local businesses

They are anchored by a few big stores such as Dillard's, Macy's and JCPenney, have several quintessential mall stores such as Hot Topic, Bath & Body Works and Finish Line...and of course they are connected to the famed mall restaurant, Cheesecake Factory. There are a few open spots along each floor, but for the most part, it appears that the mall is at least 70 - 75% occupied. One end of the mall is definitely slower than the other, which makes sense as the food court is on one end, and it is the more active and "happening" part of the mall. While most stores are chain, there are a few local spots from coffee shops, barbers, artists and even massage spots. The mall was clean and in decent shape for what it is. It is dated and you can tell no resources have been put into it recently. Overall, okay indoor mall that serves its purpose and doing good by hanging on!

Had we had more time, we could have spent hours walking up and down the street checking out all the little shops. The Tucson Thrift Shop actually connects with a pass through with another store called, The Other Side. I don't know if they're two separate shops or one big one, but they sold the same type of vintage clothes, costume jewelry, and costumes perfect for any occasion. The staff were friendly, but stayed behind the counter and offered a nice smile and said hello when you entered the store and have a nice day when you left. They certainly dressed as if they shopped at their own store and had enough tie dyed shirts to make any deadhead happy. If you're in town, it's definitely worth a peek inside. I bought a hamburger hat for my burger club and my son would have bought a couple items if his "square" parents weren't there to make him feel "lame.
