Linda related things in Tucson

[Brandon Vaughn]

So I’m going to to Tucson in March. Any Linda related things I should see or do?
Thanks

Ronstadt's Hardware store is not there any longer. Nearby is the Ronstadt Transit Center but it seems to be a turnaround bus stop kind of thing I read. Maybe in a museum or 2 there may be Ronstadt family history items. I am just guessing. RobAZ might be able to help more as he lives in AZ. Sorry, I really didn't help. eddiejinnj

You should make an outing to the church that's on the album cover of Western Wall, the name of which escapes me (but which I'm sure someone else here can fill in). It is one of Linda's favorite places and really is beautiful.

Probably should google for stuff. You might want to go when her nephew's are performing at a club there which they do often. www.facebook.com/RonstadtBrothers/ speedway.tucson.com/calendar/?template=star&view=event&id=40571&viewts=1580086800

Linda narrated a PBS special about this church: www.sanxaviermission.org/

Drive near Linda's last house in Tucson. I heard it is located near the mall. ronstadt.proboards.com/thread/1921/lindas-tucson-house-sale-got

Maybe check out the Ronstadt Family archives at the U of A.

I believe fellow Stone Poney Bobby Kimmel still lives in Tucson and has his own group: www.facebook.com/bobby.kimmel.3

You might run into a lot of Ronstadt's down there. Popular name.

There are a couple of forum members that live there now I believe. They might have other suggestions. I live in the Phoenix Tempe area about an hour north of Tucson give or take.

If I am not mistaken, it is the Mission San Xavier del Bac.

Yes it is the Mission San Xavier del Bac! It's a beautiful place! I was in Tucson a few years ago on Holiday and loved it! I really didn't go really 'Ronstadt' things/sites, I had never been to the southwest before so that was one of the places on my trip. At the time I hadn't seen any pics from the Western Wall Album. After the trip I pulled out that album and saw it was used for the album. I would go at sunrise or dusk.

Once place that I wasn't able to get to but that is supposed to be amazing is the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. I have read her mother was an early support of the museum.
