| "I hold the ability to learn about other cultures and people in high regard. The Tucson calendar is chock full of events, fairs, shows, and other assorted activities." |
| "It seems we have feast or famine here...everything or nothing. Too many major community events clash and have schedule conflicts." |
| "The aesthetics of murals, downtown culture, fringey artistic culture, art walks and events, cultural events that include music, music being included at all sorts of events, the homemade feel of the artistic movement, run down areas revived by artists, neighborhood art projects, street painting, metal sculptures marking neighborhoods." |
| "The diversity of the community is reflected in the art, music, dance, cultural celebrations, events, and THE FOOD!!! OMG! THE FOOD. Tucson is a cornucopia of food from around the world." |
| "When I visit my hometown of Mesa, AZ it bores me that there are miles and miles of square-grid suburbia. I like that (greater) Tucson does have a variety of different communities within it, and retains its history and culture in many ways. There is always something to do in Tucson, and something for everyone." |
| "Wonderful cultural activities, esp music, centered on UA, physically and fiscally accessible" |
| "Old West culture- Cowboy culture" |
| "The Hispanic music, art, festivals, and food are unique and precious" |
| "The recognition of the traditions and heritage of the Tucson community is celebrated and interwoven into many aspects of life - not just a window dressing as it seems to be in Phoenix. Culture is valued. Diversity is celebrated." |
| "The UofA is a centerpiece of knowledge, learning & activities in the community. UofA sports & cultural events provide excitement & entertainment for many." |
