For 235 years old, Tucson's looking pretty good.
To celebrate that milestone, merchants downtown and in the university area are offering "235" deals all day Saturday.
That might be 23.5 percent off a product, a $23.50 dinner for two or a $2.35 admission. Look for the "235" sign in participating store windows.
