Since 1986, La Estrella Bakery has been much more than a place to buy pan dulce, it’s been a pillar of Tucson’s cultural life, a space of ritual, memory, and early morning conversations over conchitas and cuernitos.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage month, host Carlos Quintero speaks with Erica Franco, second-generation member of the family behind La Estrella, about what it means to carry on a tradition baked in love, community, and resilience.

Erica shares stories of 3 a.m. baking shifts, drawings from kindergarten fans, and the return to the barrio bakery where it all began. This is a conversation about food, but also about family, belonging, and the quiet power of staying close to your roots.

Déjà vu

dead it freestyle

The first time we ever visited this mission just south of Tucson was over 20 years ago.  Not being a particularly religious person, I was surprisingly overwhelmed with an intense spiritual feeling during that first visit, and again each time we go back.  Something special about this place and what it represents.  If you are ever out west and near Tucson, give it a visit.  Wrote the words to this song after visiting a town arts festival in Patagonia yesterday, and seeing a small painting of the mission on display.  Ended up purchasing it and hence the inspiration for producing this song.  Hope you enjoy.      www.RoadRunnerReverie.com

Where Heaven Meets the Sand

 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

What do we?

Lazarus is dead.

On April 25, 2023, a phone call from an out-of-state number ended La Estrella de Tucsón, leaving the city without a Spanish-language newspaper. For Liliana López Ruelas, who had spent years as an editor there, it was a moment of frustration—but also of determination.
Host Carlos Quintero speaks with Liliana about what happened next: a return to school, a master's degree at the University of Arizona, and the launch of Somos Tucson, a digital news outlet focused on serving Tucson's Latino community with útil, celebratory journalism.
Born in Douglas and raised in Agua Prieta, Liliana shares her journey across borders, from Mexico City's political magazines to Tucson's newsrooms, and why she now embraces her identity as a Latina journalist. This is a conversation about community journalism, collaborative resistance, and the power of staying close to the stories that matter most.
