In the early 1990s, northwest Tucson was experiencing rapid growth, and that meant many desert areas were disappearing to make room for new homes. When this earthmover cleared the land for Sun City Vistoso on March 20, 1994, it was one of 32 new developments on the Northwest Side. That number represented nearly two-thirds of the new projects in the metro area. Read more about Tucson's past in Tales From the Morgue at go.azstarnet.com /morguetales. Today's entry is on a housing boom in the 1920s.
