LIFESTYLE LETTER

We are so glad you are here! Welcome to the first issue of Catalina Foothills magazine, a monthly guide to the great stories that are fit to be shared -- celebrated really -- with you, our neighbors and friends. Getting here has been kind of crazy. After growing up in Tucson (Sam Hughes, Mansfeld and Tucson High), I went to the University of Arizona where I majored in journalism. After a full tour of duty at the Nogales International, Arizona Daily Star, and the Republic's business newspaper, we flew the coop with stops in Seattle, back to Tucson, Iowa, Bay Area, Colorado and Missouri. (Man, can that guy not hold down a job?) Actually, that's how you work your way to become a publisher -- in a dying and consolidating industry -over the course of 30 years. Not recommended. Kate and I (pictured above with daughters Sarah, Virginia, and Grace) decided that trying to slow the decline of newspapers can be pointless and perilous, so we returned to Tucson to build this magazine, a love letter to the people who live in the Catalina Foothills. So that's us. But this really is about you, our beloved readers. There are so many inspiring and beautiful stories out there about the people and businesses, places and projects that unfold in front of us across southern Arizona every day. This magazine is your place to pause and reflect, to take in good news, and to plot your next adventure or meal. We want to hear your stories! Drop a line to me (jeff.herr@citylifestyle. com) or our incredible editor, Megan Ewing (megan.ewing@citylifestyle. com). Each of you have stories to tell. Let's make sure they are shared widely with our neighbors. We can learn and be inspired by what you share. And finally, there is a business model here that will help us continue this mission. It is fueled by our Founding Partners, businesses that stepped up in support of this idea. They are the wind that fills our sails so we can take you far and wide. So, if you like what we are doing, please keep our supportive advertisers in mind. Thank you all for this opportunity to serve you and our fair town with as much grace and goodness as we can bring forth. JEFF HERR, PUBLISHER @ C ATA L I N A F O OT H I L L S L I F E S T Y L E

The European influence on Joesler’s design today.

JOSIAH JOESLER’S GIANT PIVOT AT ELEVEN ARCHES

A century ago, the men and women who helped shape Tucson’s national identity decided that catering to people in the east with respiratory illness was not the future. Instead, in the early 1920s, they launched The Tucson Sunshine Club to attract the wealthy seeking winter homes to escape the snow and ice. And it sure did work. The population ten years later had jumped by 60%, according to R. Brooks Jeffrey, an architectural historian at the University of Arizona. And it brought serious affluence with it. In 1937, famed local architect Josias Joesler took some of the new design ideas by famed architect Irving Gill that were popping up in San Diego and Santa Barbara. Instead of the Joesler “rural romantic” designs we recognize today -- with high beamed ceilings, small rooms and tile roofs – Joesler embraced those new modern European designs with towering structures that were less ornate. It was a completely new take on foothill living. It was precisely the approach that the developers wanted to lure the super wealthy. And it worked. In 1937, the Eleven Arches residence was developed for Louis N. Grace, the daughter of shipping magnate W.R. Grace, to serve as her winter residence. What resulted was the largest mansion in southern Arizona. The massive home spanned 270 feet across the 75 acre hilltop, framed by the Catalina ridge to the north. The massive 15,502 square feet structure, with 17 bedrooms (most larger than the entire homes Joesler had designed previously), 15 full baths, two powder rooms, and a restaurant-size kitchen with walk-in refrigerator.

The entire Grace Mansion, also known as Eleven Arches, was a huge departure for Joesler, Jeffrey said, noting that it was emblematic of the evolution of Catalina Estates. Of the design, Joesler wrote, “the residence had to be designed for modern living but without going into harsh modern design; I wished to achieve some softer feeling in the exterior design and to harmonize it with the lovely desert surroundings. It took as one motive, the Catalina range in the background which climbs up from the West to a high point behind the house, and slopes off again on the East; this gave me the idea of a high central feature with low wings at the sides, thus following the line of the mountains.” After the heiress died in 1953, the house was left to famed New York modernist painter Clive Gray. A steady stream of global artists wandered the grounds as the giant home began to fall into disrepair. It was later given to Up With People, the iconic troubadour group that would tour the world from its base in Tucson. In 1976, James Moore bought the property and started renovating the home that was, he said, in “deplorable” condition after years acting as a commune for hippies. After a five year multimillion dollar restoration by the current owner, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Demion Clinco, a student of regional architecture, said the current owner’s efforts to save the property from demolition preserved an early and important design example of streamlined modern Art Deco in the Catalina Foothills. “This project allowed (Joesler) to flex his design muscles in new ways in a large scale,” he said, adding that “it brought the allure and mystery like the Wrigley Mansion” in Phoenix. Today, the elegant mansion at 5201 N Hacienda Del Sol Road is listed for sale for $6.5 million by Thalia Kyriakis of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty. She said that just standing in the home or on a terrace brings forth the spirits and tranquility created by Joesler’s work. “This is Joesler’s residential masterpiece.”

ABOUT BUSINESS ENRIQUE AND SOPHIE CREATE TUCSON-CENTRIC GREETING CARDS. PLEASE MEET “YOURS TRULY” CARDS.

Enrique and his daughter

Greetings from Tucson. That’s what you’ll get when you receive a card from Yours Truly, a new business that features stunning images of our favorite city. This company is the brainchild of a father and a daughter who just turned 19. Talk about initiative. Sophie Aldana and her dad, Enrique Aldana, enjoy hanging out together, which was the genesis of this endeavor. “My dad and I like to do nature things,” Sophie said. Enrique is a public relations maestro at Arizona Public Media, the local news purveyor that is under the mantle of the University of Arizona.

And it’s more than a father-daughter partnership. “My wife and my other daughter have been supportive of our venture,” Enrique said. “It’s a great stress reliever.” But it is not easy. The pair has stayed up until 2:30 a.m. stuffing cards. They’re also into local nonprofits such as Youth on Their Own and Ben’s Bells. “Sophie is a true giver … and I give a lot,” Enrique said. Enrique took all of the photos featured on the cards. He is a board member of Youth on Their Own; its website says the cards are eco-friendly and locally made. You can also check out the cards on Instagram at @yours_truly_notecards.

Art of Iron A CHAT WITH ALFRED CHAVEZ SR. -- THE FOUNDER OF CHAVEZ WROUGHT IRON -- ABOUT PERFECTING THEIR CRAFT FOR THREE GENERATIONS.

What compelled you to start this business? I learned how to weld in the Navy as a Seabee. I was inspired by my ability to design and draw, along with my developed welding skills. Why start your own business? Why not just go work for someone else? I had a lot of people tell me I should start my own thing and that encouraged me. What keeps you in business? I really feel like it's genuine knowledge of your product. For me, trustworthiness kept me going. At some point, my reputation for my knowledge and dedication kept me going. What are the pros and cons of working with family members? I would say your family is most trustworthy. In the beginning, when my kids were little, I worked with my brother and my wife. We learned how to disagree without being disagreeable. As time has gone on, working with my sons, we learned how to work and disagree, but still go home and have dinner all together with mom. It isn’t easy, but now I see my sons and grandsons all working together. I really can’t think of any cons. You have a reputation for being very particular about your products. Where did you get this sense of wanting everything to be as near perfect as possible? My first thought when I hear that is my military experience in the Navy. I have a total of 6 years with the Navy, so this really carried over into my business. I was raised this way. My mom was strict and that stayed with me. Now I think about it, I have been very strong-willed my whole life.

LOCA LLY OWN E D | HOM E S E RVI CE S

Of course COVID has caused a big shift in the economy, but there have been other downturns over the years. How did your company survive through hardships? When times are tough, you have to become very conservative in spending and buying. That’s what I would do...just stay strong and do your best until the storm passes. What do think about the current labor problem? We have always struggled to find skilled laborers in this business, which is now especially difficult. We really do hire true craftsman, so when we find them, they tend to stay with us. What is the best part of owning your own business? Being my own boss and ability to make my own schedule. When my kids were young, I was able to be at all their games and matches. My wife was able to help me and be home with the kids. I really did have the best of both worlds. What is the most difficult part of owning your own business? I was always afraid of being in debt. I never wanted to take out loans. If I didn’t have it, I didn’t have it. Over the years, it is very stressful because everyone and everything depends on you. It was difficult staying up to date with technology. For us it was the tools, how we make our ironwork. I used to make my schedule with paper and pencil and hand draw all my designs. Now, everything is on the computer. Emails, calendars and the sketches are done with computers. I think to stay in business, you have to keep up with the changes, and in 50 years there have been so many changes! Feels like yesterday that the yellow pages were how someone could find you. Now all the advertising is so different. The one thing that I think is the same, that my sons have carried on, is the quality of work and how proud they are to provide people with their work. Back in the day I use to say, "I put my name on it.” I still feel that way. I have heard them say that. That truly makes me feel good. With all the changes, that remains the same. How do you feel seeing your sons and now grandsons working in this business you started? I am so proud of that because of our kids and grandkids can thrive and be a part of this company. Mary Helen (Alfred’s wife) and I always hoped our boys would carry this on, but nothing is certain. It makes me feel so good that in 2022, our sons and grandsons do this, and from what I can see, are doing it well. I am just so proud. What advice would you give someone thinking about starting a business? It seems that people start companies and think that they will automatically be successful, but end up, sadly, failing. Most small businesses fail within a couple of years after draining the owners' energy and money, and after racking up lots of credit card debt and indebtedness to friends and family. What advice would you give someone who is starting a business? I would say to have genuine knowledge of what you are doing. I wish I had a good relationship with my bank early on, I was always fearful of debt, so I never wanted to borrow or take loans. I would say to have a good relationship with your bank and just work hard at what you know. MAY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/CATA L I N AF O OT HI L L S

Chimichurri w ith a Sassy Sonoran Tw ist

Most Chimichurri lovers insist theirs is the best and most authentic, with deep roots in Argentina. The truth is, there are so many variations in the world. We in southern Arizona have a few revisions to make it our own. Wait. What is Chimichurri you may be asking? Chimichurri is a rich, diced, oil-based salsa used to baste meat on the grill and to ladle on the finished meat.

C ULIN A RY C R E AT ION S | F OOD + BE VE RAGE

FROM ARGENTINA TO ARIZONA, WHERE THINGS ARE ALWAYS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

Ingredients: • • • • • •

1/2 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley 3-4 cloves garlic , finely chopped or minced ~ without seeds finely chopped 2 jalapenos 5 chiles pasillas, preferably Oaxaqueños, stemmed and seeded • 1/4 pound tomatillos • 1 level teaspoon coarse salt • black pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)

Some Tips: • Do NOT use a food processor. You want a fine dice. • We like strong, hot garlic. At least six cloves. If you prefer a milder flavor, start with two cloves; add more if you want to kick it up. • Red wine vinegar is best. Don’t use balsamic or white vinegar. • Chimichurri should be adjusted to your taste. That’s what makes this such a fun addition to your grilling experience! Simply scale ingredients to achieve your preferred balance of flavor, heat and consistency.

Directions: 1. Roast tomatillos until soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Roast chiles until soft and cover with hot water in a bowl to soften. 2. Combine oil, vinegar, peppers, chiles, salt and garlic. Dice fine. Again, please do NOT use a food processor. 3. Give ingredients 10 minutes together to release flavors into the oil. Rest it for two hours if time allows. Chimichurri can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for 24 hours. 4. We use chimichurri to baste chicken, shrimp or flank steak while grilling. 5. When done grilling remove from heat, let it rest for a few minutes and ladle a couple tablespoons over the finished meat.

Get Away to the Mile High City Where the Mountains and Metropolitan Lifestyle Vibrantly Coincide

Visit Denver When you think about Denver, what immediately may come to mind is the gateway to the stunning landscape of mountain peaks with an abundance of recreational activities. But what you might not realize is just how unbelievable the urban experience is in this extraordinary city set at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, including a booming collection of sleek boutique hotels, one of the most engaging arts and live music scenes anywhere, and elevated restaurants, shops, museums and galleries amid lively and diverse neighborhood pockets that will have you experiencing total fulfillment from this metropolitan basecamp. Our team of local lifestyle fanatics at City Lifestyle are thrilled to collaborate with Visit Denver to present a customized visitor’s guide and exclusive GIVEAWAY* to this mile-high destination. It’s an urban landscape complemented with charming, walkable neighborhoods dedicated to giving visitors a taste of why it’s year-after-year ranked one of the best places to reside. With recent recognition and rankings, such as landing its spot as a top 10 city in the world to visit (Lonely Planet), leading the nation in attendance at performing arts events and exhibitions (National Endowment for the Arts), a repeat nominee for its foodie and craft beverage scene, and home to THE most attended concert venue of any size anywhere in the world (Billboard), Denver is bursting with profound cultural and lifestyle experiences, and we’re here to round up our recommendations for you. One neighborhood that sets Denver apart is Cherry Creek North, otherwise known as the Mile High City’s ultimate luxury shopping and dining destination with the highest concentration of small businesses. A well-known favorite of the locals, Cherry Creek feels like a city within a city with its urban oasis atmosphere.

M UST SE E | TR AVEL

Enter for a chance to win a 3-night getaway to Denver! Get your street chic and fun-filled soles ready for 16 walking-friendly blocks of shopping, pampering, entertaining and feasting. With ample annual events to check out, pair your festival-fan side with high-end couture hunting at Cherry Creek Shopping Center, perusing Hermes, Chanel, Stuart Weitzman and Louis Vuitton, just to name a few. As you work up an appetite, prepare to drink and devour the exquisite fare that Cherry Creek offers with more than 50 restaurants, making it almost impossible to choose and most definitely requiring a return visit. Whether your palate is yearning for a farm-to-table, multi-course meal by an award-winning chef, or a burger and locally brewed craft beer with a side of fries, you’ll find flavor profiles to satisfy every craving. One such sophisticated and stylish restaurant destination includes Local Jones inside the urban chic Halcyon, a hotel in Cherry Creek. Equal parts nostalgia and composure, this neighborhood restaurant serves up great food in a socially engaging atmosphere, offering brunch and dinner menus.

CONTINUED > MAY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/CATA L I N AF O OT HI L L S

Step outside the restaurant, and you’ll find the only hotel property in the country that offers a Vespa to zip around town. Halcyon feels a bit like your living room with a warm and inviting vibe. Soak up the social atmosphere both upon entry and at the Elevated Rooftop Bar, and bring your swimsuit for the pool deck complete with recreational curling, cabanas and breathtaking views of the city. Beyond the charm of Cherry Creek, Denver’s culture of arts and live music are thriving and growing by leaps and bounds. Take Meow Wolf, for example. Meow Wolf’s third permanent exhibition, Convergence Station, opened in Denver in September 2021 and is a not-to-be-missed experience. This four-story exhibition encompasses more than 75 unique installations, rooms and portals from 300 creatives. Likewise, the Denver Art Museum hosts its global art collections representing cultures from around the world, with more than 70,000 works of art in 12 permanent collections along with several outdoor artworks not to be overlooked. The eight-story architectural marvel stuns with its dramatic façade, in part thanks to last year’s $175 million renovation project that expanded and reimagined the campus with new, dynamic spaces to explore. Denver’s open-air Red Rocks Amphitheatre featured the “most attended music venue in the world in 2021” thanks to its fantastic and rare aesthetic, history, and milestone moments that propelled it into its status it holds today. Freely hike and roam this geological wonder on non-event days, but don’t miss an opportunity to watch a performance under the Colorado stars and see where The Beatles played in 1964 and U2 filmed Under a Blood Red Sky in 1983, an event that boosted the venue into the global spotlight. Finally, don’t miss the downtown district favorites RiNo and LoDo. Denver’s urban-vibed River North Art District is a former industrial mercantile area turned into an artist magnet— blending urban charm and industrial revival with a collection of maker and artist galleries, breweries and bars, restaurants and coffee roasters, and street art murals surrounding you at nearly every corner. Be sure to check out Bigsby’s Folly for its roaring ‘20s-inspired urban winery experience. Visit Denver believes that travel makes the world a smaller and more connected place. It brings people together and fosters interaction among diverse cultures. We couldn’t agree more!

Experience Thrills and Chills in Jerome THE COPPER MINING TOWN IS HOME TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS, SOME OF WHICH ARE SAID TO HOUSE GHOSTS

You have read your share of ghost stories, watched plenty of creepy shows on TV, and love the sensation of chills running up and down your spine. This month would be the ideal time to possibly experience some spectral activity in person with a trip to Jerome, where it is a little cooler. And that could mean shivers, possibly, for us locals. Located about three hours from Tucson, the copper mining town is chock full of history and lore as well as historic buildings—some of which are said to house ghosts who don’t seem to want to leave. For example, the following four places are said to be among the town’s most haunted locations.

SPOOK HALL The town’s community center at 260 Hull Ave., which is officially called Lawrence Memorial Hall, is referred to as Spook Hall due to its mysteriously ghostly occurrences. Prior to its construction, a number of shacks stood at the location; they were used by ladies of the night to entertain their guests. One of the prostitutes who lived there was stabbed to death by a miner—rumor has it this sad soul can still be seen in front of the building.

MILE HIGH INN AND GRILL

a client in the area and seems to have since taken up residence in the building, which is now an inn. People have claimed to see Banters as well as other ghosts and even a spectral cat.

JEROME GRAND HOTEL This hotel, located at 200 Hill St., was once the United Verde Hospital, which opened in 1927. The ghosts who are known to roam the premises seem to be a mix of patients who passed away in the hospital along with people who lost their lives in the hotel. Guests have claimed to smell everything from flowers to cigar smoke in the five-story hotel, which is known as one of the most haunted buildings in Arizona.

CONNOR HOTEL This hotel at 160 Main St. was built in 1898 by David Connor. The hotel has been renovated to include both historic and modern touches, and also comes with its own ghost stories. For instance, in Room 1, the hotel’s electrician was the first guest to stay in the hotel; he reported hearing women laughing and whispering as well as feeling a sense of cold. In Room 2, objects may move around on their own, and in Room 4, guests have said they hear an elderly man coughing and a dog growling.

Madam Jennie Banters owned a popular bordello in the building at 309 Main St. which was built in 1899. She was also killed by
