Back in August 2009 when we had only a few bloggers & readers online, I wrote about community resources (publications/news outlets) in the Tucson/Southern Arizona area. I wasn’t so computer savvy, so I didn’t even include the blue hyperlinks.

So now that March 2011 & Spring are here, I’m re-publishing an updated (somewhat comprehensive list of how to find out what’s there to do in the Old Pueblo, under the Tucson Sun) — to aid us all in learning about & enjoying the numerous community events.
