Dear Mr Tucson: My spouse and I rode our scootmobiles on a pilgrimage out to Catalina, Arizona this past week. We had been hearing so much about their Golden Goose Thrift Shop, and we wanted to see for ourselves what all the fuss was about! This delightful little shop is only open from 10:00am to 2:00pm daily, but they sport some incredibly wonderful items for one to sort out and sift through! We recommend it to any and all treasure seekers very highly, and Catalina is a delightful little blip on the map as well, wouldn't you know!
En route to the Goose, we journeyed through the cute little town of Oro Valley. As we ventured along, we became aware of this big, long battleship-grey wall just off to our right. This was approximately near the middle of Oro Valley. We were unable to see much of the actual Catalina Mountains as we drove past the wall, but the town was thoughtful enough to etch-and-sketch some "mountains" into the wall for our enjoyment - what a novelty! After we progressed past the "Great Wall of Oro Valley", we noticed another interestingly large battleship-grey complex off to our left, which we believed to be a correctional facility of some sort, because we could see the guard towers and turrets very clearly. What an unusual place to build a prison, we thought. Anyway, thank you, and please pass along our little adventure to your readership!

LOL. Classic, ZP.

Just the dumbest thing ever, isn't it?

Well, if anything deserves 'repping', it's that. Unfortunately, looks like I've got to spread the wealth first.

Agreed. That wall is U-G-L-Y. And I repped in your honor.
