South Tucson is its own city embedded in Tucson. It’s known for its Mexican restaurants. I’ve not eaten at this particular place, but it’s gotten good reviews. Unfortunately a drunk driver crashed into it yesterday and did a lot of damage. And they are asking for help. Boost if you can’t donate.

It looks like they are a little over halfway to their goal of $25K. Thanks to everyone who boosted.
They have now reached $20K of their $25K goal. At this rate, they’ll probably achieve it in a few more days.

They raised ~$23,600 and then closed the fundraiser without explanation. They posted a final message:

(UPDATE: all donations will be refunded in 7-10 business days. Thank you)

Bummer, that accident.

I lived in Tucson in the early 80s. I never happened to go to that restaurant, though some relatives likely did. I haunted northern Tucson.

@covid interesting. It doesn’t say why. They still say they plan to reopen though. Maybe they found another source.
@clmerle
Insurance?
@covid i don’t know. If I find out I’ll let you know. I’m sure they are required to carry some insurance but did it cover such an incident, dunno?
