| Tucson, a rapidly expanding community, has grown from a population of 57,000 in 1955 to over 700,000 in 1996. The climate is sunny year round, and over the years Tucson has developed a well-earned reputation as a health center and an excellent environment for living with a multitude of outdoor activies. Tucson is one of only 14 cities in the US that boasts a professional resident theater, opera, symphony and dance company. In addition, the University, together with the Tucson Community Center, Tucson Fine Arts Association, Tucson Symphony Orchestra, Festival Society, and other groups provide the community with a wide variety of concerts, lectures, guest artists, sports, and other events. The city also boasts a designated arts district, which is home to the Temple of Music and Art, the Tucson Convention Center, Leo Rich Theater and the Music Hall. An Air Force Base, Kitt Peak Observatory, Old Tucson Studios, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and many light industries are also located in the Tucson area. Situated about 60 miles from the Mexican border, Tucson is only a four-hour drive from the pristine beaches and deep sea fishing in the Gulf of California. In winter, snow and skiing are only a 40-mile drive away on 9,000-foot Mt. Lemmon. Tucson is only a two-hour drive to Phoenix and about 6 hours from San Diego and the California coast. Other sporting activities include golf, tennis, swimming, fishing, horseback riding, rock-climbing, bicyling, and hiking in the several mountain ranges that encircle the city.
