Hi,
It wasn't a mall but one of DeGazia's early studios like the Gallery In The Sun.? It was on Prince & Campbell. I believe it was torn down long ago.
I was friends with one of his grandsons who fixed up one of the sections and lived there while he was attending the U of A.
I forget the name of the restaurant, but I was never interested in eating there. Just seemed too dirty to me. I remember them using paper plates too, but I think that was toward the end when they were maybe going downhill. I remember that they had a very loyal following.
DeGrazia left most of his fortune to the DeGrazia Foundation and to an illegitimate son. His other children didn't get much, the biggest asset he left them I believe was this property on Prince. Do you remember when DeGrazia protested the inheritance tax by burning 100 of his paintings in the Superstition Mountains?

From the later 60's I recall a small old shopping center on the corner
of maybe Grant and Campbell or Ft. Lowell? Unfortunately, I don't seem
to remember exactly which streets. It had a couple little art shops and
a silversmith and a Mexican restaurant. Ted De Grazia had done art work
all over the inside walls of the restaurant. Can anyone help me with
the location or name? I think I remember hearing it was the oldest
shopping center in Tucson. Thanks.
