Downtown Tucson - One South Church - a photo on Flickriver

This is the view of Tucson looking north from the Tucson Convention Center parking garage as we left the Tucson Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show 2024. The Catalina Mountains are hidden by the clouds.

This building is One South Church, the tallest building in Tucson. It is on Church between Congress and East Broadway. The west side of the Cathedral of Saint Augustine is visible in the lower left frame.

"One South Church (formally United Bank Tower and UniSource Energy Tower) is a 23 story office building located in Tucson, Arizona.
"At 23 stories high, One South Church is the tallest building in Tucson, and is a prominent fixture in the city's skyline. "The Tower", or the "Copper Building" as it is often referred to by locals, is home to a variety of office tenants, including New York Life, Regus, and some of Arizona's largest law firms. . . .Construction started in 1985 M. M Sundt Construction Company of Tucson was the general contractor.[3][4] When opened in 1986 the building was known as the United Bank Tower. It was later known as the UniSource Energy Tower"

On a personal note. My daughter is interested in gems, minerals, rocks, and stones. We took a daytrip to Tucson. It was our first time to the shows. There are actually something like 3 dozen shows around Tucson. We went to the Tucson Convention Center for about 3 hours and then to the Kino Sports Complex for about 1.5 hours. We had hoped to get to the 22nd St show and the GIGM Show on W. Starr Pass but did not have time. I wish I had bought my tickets in advance, it would have saved about 30-40 minutes of waiting in line at the Convention Center. I'm glad I brought a Circular Polarizer to cut some of the glare of the glass exhibit cases.
