'Stravenues' are a Tucson thing [View all]

"You kind of look at Cherrybell Stravenue right there, and it still just looks a little off," said award-winning Tucson historian David Leighton. "It's just not something you see very often."
"It's kind of diagonal," explained Leighton. "It's kind of a street and kind of an avenue at the same time."
