Catherine,
Thank you for including the 1946 newspaper article info. At that time I can imagine there were many WW2 veterans in Tucson looking for work and new construction projects provided well needed jobs.
It is sad to know the El Parador will be closing . We had many dinners there and would sometimes treat our out of town visitors to their first taste of real Mexican cuisine.
It was an interesting in that old newspaper story when it said the parking lot of the new construction project would have room for 24 vehicles to lessen the congestion on Broadway.....what a difference that was compared to the what it's like now!!
