Cool pics Chris, I didn't know another restaurant was going in there. Since I live in the neighborhood, I check on it every so often, and I haven't seen any activity going on there in awhile. Good to know someone is taking advantage of the location since the decision to build a new stadium in that area. -Matt

Back in the late 60s and early 70s, the Southern Arizona Society of Model Engineers occupied one of the waiting rooms with a large model railroad. When the Espee told us to move, the club bought a vacant home near the airbase. I think SASME still is in the Tucson area.

This is where we got off of the 4449 World's Fair Daylight train from Phoenix back in the 80s. And until the last few years, the depot was home to a very good Mexican restaurant.
