Downtown has revived into a bustling entertainment district ready to rock on a Friday night but some downtown regulars are mourning the death of a man who helped bring downtown to life.
A lot of what you experience in downtown Tucson now is thanks to a man named Donovan Durband. He died just recently. His friends are mourning the loss but celebrating the legacy.
Margo Susco first met Donovan Durband more than 25 years ago. She had a love for downtown, and a clothing shop on Congress. He had a vision of how to help downtown revive and thrive. He had a hand in restoring the Fox Theater, and in Second Saturdays, a regular free event to bring fun and familiarity downtown.
Kozachik says, “So Donovan knew everybody and so he was connected and so if, person A had an issue had a particular issue, he would know who to pivot to and say, hey, this person can help with your issue. So he was able to connect all the dots and make sure that when something popped up that he knew who to call, and that's so important in city government because people can get lost in the bureaucracy.
