Let’s set the scene:
It’s Tucson. The summer heat is a scorcher. The city becomes a ghost town, whether that be because folks go on vacation, they temporarily move to cooler pastures, or they’re simply staying home indoors with their air conditioner.

So, if the town is considered a ghost town why not celebrate the ghosts by throwing them a party? Trail Dust Town is celebrating summer (and ghosts) by hosting a limited-time Ghost Bar in its Savoy Opera House on Friday, July 21 – Sunday, July 23.
“This is when the spirits of Trail Dust Town come out to play, and we are throwing them a party. Join us for an evening of spirituous cocktails, bewitching snacks, live music, and spine-tingling activities.”
On Friday and Saturday from 8 – 11 p.m., Mamma Coal will be playing country tunes for both the living and the dead. Sunday from 7 – 10 p.m., a cello quartet will play classical music — a perfect way to end the haunted weekend.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
