Tucson's morning newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star, launched a new blog today aimed at "helping gem show attendees find the best buys on everything from rubies to restaurants" (go.azstarnet.com/gemshowblog)
Readers are invited to submit tips, which the paper will sort through and post the best.
Gem show blogger Coley Ward finished his opening posting with the admonition, "Now get out there and shop, shop, shop!"
The first shows will be opening this Saturday, Feb 2.
