Thanks for following along on our first week living in Tucson! We sure are loving it here!
Welcome. Don’t know why they told you not to drink the water. I have lived here all my life and drink the tap water. There is a lot to do here so enjoy exploring Tucson and all of southern Arizona 😊
Because you grew up here....
I’ve lived in Tucson for 40 years. I drink tap water daily. My children, now adults with their own kids (all healthy) grew up drinking Tucson tap water. Perhaps you don’t like the taste if it’s different from what you’re used to. 🤷♀️ In any case, Bienvenida!
living in the Foothills of Tucson is a completely different experience from the rest of the slums of Tucson lol
AZ is such a special state. So happy for you both and this next chapter you are embarking on. I can feel the weather through the screen! haha! And the mexican food is seriously unmatched. Cheers, and thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you so very much for the kind words! We've definitely been enjoying and indulging in all things Tucson. ❤️🌵
Hey, I also grew up in Minnesota, lived in Denver for 16 years, and now in Tucson. The desert can take awhile to adapt to, if you find yourself feeling lost for a bit. Welcome to Tucson, I hope you fall in love with her as I have.
We are completely loving it so far! No regrets at all! This is home.
Hey, we also live in Tucson, be careful with the cat outside. Especially in the foothills. The coyotes eats them😮
Our little isn't allowed outside without a leash and us next to him. He will definitely not be in any foothills!! 🤗 thank you!!
@@JeanieMariethey can still snatch them up on the leash.
Alligators do that in Florida too, while you are walking your dog.
Bobcats and hawks, too.
What about the water you shouldn’t drink seeping into your skin? 😢
Looking forward to checking out the pottery school
Those Coyotes were planning a welcoming party for your cat
Welcome to Tucson. I don't know who told you not to drink the water but I was born here and drink the water so does all my family and friends.
The water in Arizona has a funny smell and it surface water: not ground watering.
Don't know where you get your information from but the water in Tucson is sourced from the Colorado River and several local groundwater wells. I was born in Tucson and have never had an issue drinking the water in 4 decades here. Neither have friends and family.
Born and raised here to and we as in my whole family have not drank tap water!!!
Fluoride in the water
This is great! We have a kid at U of A, traveled there to move him in, but it's fun to see the city through a different lens. Love the place!
This is crazy, I found your videos during a Colorado Springs work trip looking up things to do on my off time. Today I realize you moved to my city! How cool! I hope you both love Tucson!
I have lived in Tucson my entire life and have never drank the water from the tap without a reverse osmosis to clean it. I have to add back in minerals with Real Salt. Its interesting to hear that people drink the tap water here bc everyone I know drinks from a RO system or buys water.
It’s wonderful to see happy faces. Im sure there’s some stress involved with this move. I love the way you both embrace it. 😁👏
Thank you!! We definitely try to make the best out of any situation!
Thanks for doing this! Awesome place eh?
We really like Tucson! 😁🫶
Then she opens her window to a place up in the Catalina Foothills. Take them in a drive down to Prince and flowingwells or South 6th Ave and 29th in the City of South Tucson (a one square mile city inside the city)
The main issue with Arizona water is that it is hard water, which is just a taste issue because of the high mineral content. Some people are used to it and like it. The chlorine to disinfect could also be a factor but most cities use chlorine. A water filter can help the taste. I would stay away from bottled water since the plastics that break down probably make it more dangerous.
Hi, we live in Green Valley, so close we are!!! Go to the restaurant "Tumerico" in Tucson, the best!! And Ethiopian food too!!! Excellent ❤
Been in Tucson for 6 years....drank the water EVERYDAY. No issues at all. It is actually very clean and good tasting..
Been in Tucson for over 20.. never had a problem with the water. Who says you can't drink the water?
@@misterkiteyour mom
@@PublicNuisance2K24 Nope.
Life changes and happens so fast! From MN to CO to AZ within 3-4 years! Hope this new chapter goes well for you two!
It sure does! Thanks much!
You just missed a Major Snow Storm in Colorado! Our first Snow!
Happy Halloween" Jeannie and Vince! I am planning to move to Fort-Collins!
We saw that! So glad we're not there!!! Happy moving to you!!!
The food looks amazing! I'm surprised how short your stay in Colorado was. Best of luck to you & yours as you begin your next chapter in the desert. I hope your newly found enthusiasm doesn't dry up (😉) when the summer heat rolls around.
We were done with winters in CO, that was our biggest reason for leaving! Goodbye winter! We've been enjoying the Tucson heat so far, for the last 1.5 months...we love the heat! Thanks for following along!
Hello Jeanie and Vince! What a cool video of your two days at the beginning of your arrival to Tucson! First things first…we do need to do our visit down there and gauge the vibe for us. But…jumping forward, you have some great talking points here…….mainly, how to transition from one location to another- getting rid of the current house, moving furniture or starting over, go straight in to an offer for a place or to rent and check it out leisurely.
We will have the complete equity of our Ouray house as we paid it off 2 years ago. Our furniture is not Tucson- ish hehehehe. And another factor is my work transition. Fortunately, we do have our travel trailer to reside it somewhere; either in a new location while waiting for furniture or keep it in Colorado and stay in while I would finish out my time with the previous employer ( though, I do not want to incur a ton of time split up from my wife). With regards to the stuff we move, of course it is beneficial to do a point to point move, straight to a new place. We moved a lot in the military. Point to point is always beneficial (and cheaper). But…..it would be nice to not be in a rush to find a place. So…lots of variables! Thank you for highlighting these downtown spots! I can’t wait to park my f350 downtown to explore next week hehehehe
PS. Where was your rental? How long of a lease and how much, if you don’t mind me asking?
That was a really nice open house property you showed! Also, I appreciate your tip earlier this week about checking out open houses. We will have 1.8 weekends there; so should be able to see several.
Definitely the best Mexican food I've had in the US (blows away Mexican in the SF Bay Area where they brag about it so much). Went to UofA, 6 years in Arizona. Many fond memories! (and Now I'm in Colorado! Love it). Not sure if it's still out there but if it is still open, La Parilla Suiza. SO GOOD!! The best.
Yes, the foodie scene in Tucson is like no other. That's why Tucson has been recognized by UNESCO as a City of Gastronomy 👌
You about experience your 1st endless summer. Living in the foothills is Tucson lite.
If you live on the outskirts of Tucson in a nice community you don't see all the problems that Tucson has asked any police officer or paramedic or people that work in the community with people like bus drivers and they'll tell you the real thing what they see Tucson is not my Tucson that I knew years ago I've been here 55 years and it really needs a lot of improvement but it has a lot of good pluses too
your videos are always amazing. keep filming please
Not sure if it's open but you can ski at Mt Lemon, Not far from Tuscon. The best of all worlds!!
We've been to Mount Lemmon!! It beautiful! But you won't find me there in the winter...not a skier! 😁
I never knew there would be so many chirping birds in Tucson.
So many!!
New subscriber! Me and my boyfriend just recently moved back to Tucson we were in Las Vegas for a while and then in Washington State for a bit! Welcome !😊 love your video style we will definitely check out some more!
Welcome! I've lived in Tucson my whole life and I've been drinking the tap water just fine. Not sure why it's a problem??
You should go to H F Coors to check out their beautiful store and seconds on plates, dishes and more! All made in Tucson🌵
Thank you!! I'll definitely do that!
@@JeanieMarie I love this go there! Their dishes are plates are the best quality!
Also, be sure to check out The Gaslight Theater and The Gaslight Music Hall. The best LIVE entertainment in Tucson! Plus, the best pizza!
Awesome! Thanks so much!! I appreciate the recommendations!
@@JeanieMarie Absolutely! I’ve been coming to Tucson since 2000. My parents had retired in Green Valley. Been living in Tucson for about 4 1/2 years. I am enjoying your videos!
Tap water isn’t safe to drink in general.
I moved to Tucson from the east coast and have run into the same water issue! Something I didn’t think of. I have a co worker who’s cat had health issues from feeding it tap water! Other then that Tucson is beautiful!! :)
You guys are so lucky, I'd give anything to live in Tucson already
Awe!! Thanks so much!! Tucson is a gem!
Do you mind if I ask which development you are renting in? Also, how satisfied are you with the apartment/landlord?
there are too many posts here from people saying the tap water is safe to drink here. no, actually, it is not. my family is from here, and i'm not talking about just a couple years ago. we are FROM here. everybody knows the water is bad. i'm not going to go into all the details as you can easily find it out yourself as the information is readily available. there's even maps to show you which wells are currently being affected by the polluted ground water. from pfas to jet fuel. in any case. welcome.
Get more ice trays for fridge n attach a filter to ur kitchen tap n u r gud to go.
How much was your water and ice maker??? And is the tap water safer to shower with? : I heard it stinks and make people skin dry.
Looks like your in a good area. You should take a trip out south to Tubac next winter
We've been to Tubac! Beautiful area!
A mountain and Mount Lemmon if you haven’t been definitely check them out
Yes! Been to both! Beautiful spots!
Beautiful area
I was born and raised here. Never got the memo about the tap water 😂 People are playing with you. I will say though, it doesn’t taste great, but it is clean and safe. Welcome 🤗
I never heard you couldn’t drink the from the tap water? Even tho I still personally don’t drink from it cause I love my pure life water already lol
Personally, would avoid tap water worldwide...as a normal thing, but in Tucson you won't get sick if you are thirsty an need a drink from the tap.
You guys are so nice 😊😊😊
Thank you!! 💕
You came at a good time its cooling down a bit
All good- God bless
Try Mojo restaurant. Excellent cuban food
Thank you! I'll keep this in mind!
Hello from Tucson 😊
I always love your vlogs. You look very beautiful
Thanks so much for watching!!
You can certainly drink the water in Tucson.
You can, but we prefer to filter it before we drink it.
Don’t drink the water in Tucson??? Been drinking the tap water for years. Wow, first time I ever heard this
😊😊😊that's were I want to move I love Arizona I live in west Florida 😮it's awful worst place I ever lived 😊😊😊
😂 you guys are hilarious! You make it sound like you are visiting another country! There is nothing wrong with the tap water in tucson. Besides it being hard water and precious. This is the desert, we don't have an infinite supply. I've lived here all my life is hot, it's dry, it's getting overcrowded, not enough groundwater for all the people that all the city councils seem to want to move here. Don't leave your taps on, don't grow a bunch of non-native green stuff out in your yard, don't water during the middle of the day. Tucson's tap water is fine. Just don't waste it.
Ignore the hateful comments and their crappy perspectives 🤨 Tucson and the Sonoran are wonderful ! I am also from Colorado and left those freezing winters 😂 mt Lemmon is up the mountain if u want the snow “for the day “ Do that sabino canyon walk or tram - it’s great 👍 ❤
Oh, they don't get to me anymore! I've seen enough crappy comments in my day...that I just let it roll in one ear and out the other. They are just helping boost my content 🤗 we just did Mount Lemmon a few weeks ago..it was beautiful. We still have to get to Sabino! One day! Thanks for watching and following along!
Flagstaff too. Totally agree, you can always pop up to snowy places for the day.
@@stacyhall3061 love flagstaff … and it’s gorgeous surroundings 😁
There are nice and great things here to see (wildlife) and do even in the surrounding areas (Tubac/Tumacacori, Empire Ranch, Sonoita, etc.). However, there are things that these visitors need to know which are not so rosy. Just to name a few: Fourth worst drivers in that nation, the City of Tucson itself is not a safe city as it once used to be, not the best salaries/wages nor job opportunities, high home prices not unless you want to live in a apartment (not ideal), Democratic/liberal politics (look at the City of Tucson mayor, City council, etc.), struggling with T.P.D. retainment/other law enforcement agencies not having ample officers, roads and water issues. One cannot promote an area and not look at both sides of the coin (positives and more negatives), Furthermore, some of the people that have put there posts on here are from those Democratic states (Colorado for example) and need not bring their politics (left leaning), not unless they are conservative escaping those bad political landscapes. It is a great place to visit, but from one who has seen the boom and how it has not progressed (for decades), one must think twice before moving here. Again, please visit though, enjoy and be safe.
Well you're in for a big surprise the summers are horrendousl hot the crime is worse here than it's ever been we have so much. The traffic is bad the drivers are pretty bad here. The pluses are the winter time there's good hiking in different places around Tucson but summertime 110 for days 108 112 for days and days low temp at night ranges in the 90s at times last summer when it was $112 here there was a night where it was 100°when it's hot
Vince is having a NA beer
Yup, lots of driving! Playing it safe!
Hi(: i want to give u some amazing restaurant lists…. For the best n most fresh seafood in town … best oysters, go downtown to charro steak & del ray. For best mexican food go to “aqui con el nene …on flowing wells and wetmore rd”. For good breakfast go to cup cafe at hotel congress downtown. For a mini vacation one hour away, check our Bisbee Arizona.
ive been drinking tucson tap water for years, whats wrong w it lol
Can't drink the water? Where are you living? Lived here my entire life and I and everyone I know drinks tap water.
Yes, it's "considered" safe to drink, but everyone says they don't drink it without a filter because it so hard and full of calcium. Drinking all that calcium isn't good! We didn't have a filter on our fridge, so in order to filter the tap water we bought a water station. Totally, fine if you prefer non-filterd water. To each their own!
