Amazon is in Tucson now [View all]
Most of my business is on the east side so my usual route into Tucson is Kolb Road. Been watching the last year or two as a new railroad spur/facility got built and then all the work on Kolb itself around Valencia and south. New traffic lights and even whole new intersections. the most curious was a big warehouse type building that went up pretty fast. I wondered what it was going to turn out to be and hadn't been to town in a month or more. Had to go in today for an xray and saw that it is going to be an Amazon facility. then found an article and apparently there will be another big facility west of Downtown.

I have mixed feelings. Tucson is kind of special and this feels sort of "not Tucson" to me, on the other hand I wonder if I will be getting one or same day delivery now - even without Prime?
