Esquire taps Arivaca bar as one of country’s best

by C.J. Karamargin on Jul 10, 2006, under Taste

Of all the gin joints in Arizona, Esquire magazine tapped one in Arivaca as among the country’s best.

In its June issue, the mag wrote that Le Gitana, 17201 W. Fifth St., is cheap, rowdy and great for daytime drinking, although you can find “bloodstains on the floor and bullet holes in the walls.”

It was the only bar in Arizona to make the list.

Citizen Online Archive, 2006-2009

This archive contains all the stories that appeared on the Tucson Citizen's website from mid-2006 to June 1, 2009.

In 2010, a power surge fried a server that contained all of videos linked to dozens of stories in this archive. Also, a server that contained all of the databases for dozens of stories was accidentally erased, so all of those links are broken as well. However, all of the text and photos that accompanied some stories have been preserved.

For all of the stories that were archived by the Tucson Citizen newspaper's library in a digital archive between 1993 and 2009, go to Morgue Part 2
