La Doce

A neighborhood on Tucson's Southside that spans three miles along South 12th Avenue from 4th street to Drexel Road. by Cáit NíSíomón

La Doce is a neighborhood in the Southside of Tucson that spans three miles along South 12th Avenue from 4th street to Drexel Road. What makes this corridor of the city is its resilience as a cultural district despite years of disinvestment. Now more vulnerable than ever to gentrification, multiple agencies have been coming together to strategize on ways to preserve and protect La Doce’s community and traditions and help its existing economy thrive with the area’s residents taking leadership in its development.
