Thank you all!

Fourth Avenue acts as the connector between the UofA and Downtown. I think they're in the process of building a streetcar line to connect the two. From what I've heard, its a pretty active area.

Some sort of museum, but damn if I could find any info about it online (Googled "Museum Downtown Tucson")

I kinda regret not stopping in the Barrio Historico south of Downtown, but it started raining again and we were trying to get down toward Davis-Monthan AFB so my brother could meet up with a friend of his. On the plus side, we had lunch at eegees.

I was almost went to UofA for undergrad, and in retrospect, I probably should've gone there.
