"We have a culture of our own," is what you'll hear from the heirs of Nogales pathfinders. The cultural fabric is woven from the strands of the cattle, commerce, retail, railroad, mining, military, and produce industries. And if the warp is industry, the weave is people. The city was a cultural vessel that embraced Asian, European, Mexican, Anglo-Saxon, Middle Eastern, and Black influences and, today, still lends depth to the tapestry of Nogales.

 This is a walk for the aerobically inclined and well worth the effort. Begin the 1.2-mile Red Tour at El Charrito, the original store of our tour guide, Maestro Ochoa at the intersection of Elm Street and Terrace Avenue. If you look closely, you can see the El Charrito's sign through the years and coats of paint. It was from this store that Maestro loaded his cart with candy and ice cream and peddled it to the local schools. His after-school arrival delighted generations of Nogales' children with sweets and was the signal for play to begin on Crawford Street. Stops include: 1. El Charrito: 204-210 Elm Street 2. 167 Terrace Avenue 3. 149 Sonoita Avenue 4. 357 W. Crawford Street 5. 411 W. Crawford Street 6. 429 W. Crawford Street 7. 455 W. Crawford Street 8. 536 W.

 The Gold Tour is designed to identify areas that otherwise might not be viewed because of the locations. Court Street climbs the hill south of the 1904 Courthouse. Many of the homes on Court Street are still owned by heirs of Nogales' pioneer families. Marcus Park just east of the courthouse has elements of a Japanese garden. In December, the Christmas lights that adorn the period homes on Court Street are stunning.
