A Mini-Vacation at The Lodge at Ventana Canyon

Beautiful Views and Green GrassLooking to get away but not go far?  Looking for a quick vacation without the hassle of having to leave Tucson?  Want to spend your days relaxing by the pool, playing a round of golf, and enjoying a few cocktails at the end of the evening.  Well, The Lodge at Ventana Canyon may be the place you are looking for.  My husband and I (along with our children) love to take “mini-vacations” here in town.  Simply put, we check into one of the many resorts here in town and pretend we are on vacation.  During the summer months rates are spectacular and you avoid all the hassle of having to plan for a long vacation.  Located at 6200 N. Clubhouse Lane, The Lodge at Ventana Canyon is it just far enough east to make it seem like you are away from your normal daily stomping grounds.

DJing at Grill on Congress

Last night I guest-deejayed at the Red Room. That’s one side of Grill, the 24-hour diner and open-till-two bar at 100 E. Congress (here’s their MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/redroomatthegrill).

When you go to Grill, don’t bother reading the long description of how to act on the menu. Just know that you’ll probably wait while for your food; it’s not a drive through. And don’t order milkshakes unless you want to wait even longer.

Bentley’s on Speedway

The people who work at Bentley’s are the best, the food and coffee are really good, there’s free Wi-fi, it’s pretty close to campus, and there’s usually good artwork on the walls. Another big draw is the (usually free) shows. Every Friday is an Open Mic night, from 7:45-10:45 p.m. and a “free acoustic open jam afterwards.” Come early (as early as 7:00 p.m. and as late as 7:30 p.m.) if you want to sign up. Check the website to find out about the “mini-showcaser,” with a spot from 9:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.  each week. Read the rest of Bentley’s on Speedway »
