THE SUNSHINE MILE TODAY
Welcome to...
The Sunshine Mile (TSM)
Located on Broadway Boulevard, between Euclid Avenue and Country Club Road (and within 3 blocks north and south), you will find premier shopping, dining, entertainment and services unique to Tucson, Arizona.
In 1953 a contest was sponsored by the East Broadway Merchants to come up with a name for the strip between Euclid and Country Club. Out of 5,000 entries, The Sunshine Mile was selected.
This section of Broadway Blvd. was developed as a reflection of the "American Dream". It's emerging post World War II architecture symbolized the new American optimism and the national economic boom. Local residents were able to realize the american dream of owning their own business on Tucson's main east-west transportation route.
In the mid 20th century, Broadway Boulevard was an important corridor that connected Tucson's downtown to the east side. The building structures represent an iconic collection of mid-century modernist architecture, and are still owned and operated by local entrepreneurs. This two mile strip is lined with award winning boutiques and restaurants, as well as many neighborhood services you won't find anywhere else.
So... for a modern day historical experience, please come visit The Sunshine Mile.
