OV Public Art Tours Return For 2014-15 Season

Oro Valley, Arizona (October 17, 2014) - This fall marks the return of Oro Valley's guided public art tours, which take place on the third Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m. This FREE, two-hour tour begins and ends at Oro Valley Town Hall. Seating is limited, so reservations are required. Reservations can be made online at www.orovalleyaz.gov and click on the Arts & Entertainment link.

Due to the increase in development and construction, there are several new public art pieces that art enthusiasts will enjoy. The tour will also include stops at the impressive public art collections at Oro Valley Marketplace and Oro Valley Hospital.

Are you interested in hosting a large group? Special art tours may be reserved for groups of 8-10 people. Please contact William Vicens, economic development specialist at wvicens@orovalleyaz.gov or call 520-229-4758.

Larceny (shoplifting, followed disturbing the peace at apartment complexes)

My guess is "larceny."

Ok. You got us. It is larceny. Bet it's mostly retail.

Chris....Your second guess (a weak attempt to put down those who live in apartments....which I might add tells me a lot about you) isn't even on the list.
