For Star subscribers: Like many Midwestern migrants, Donovan Durband fell in love with Tucson. In the 1990s, when downtown Tucson was dead, he dedicated his life to reviving it.
Tim Steller You might not expect the death of a municipal parking administrator to set off a period of deep public mourning.
Durband has been such a fixture downtown, sometimes in the background and others times out in front, that nobody who has been around can quite believe he's left the scene. His quiet, tireless effort to get things going will be hard to replace. "We became fast friends immediately, and we spent the next 20-some years being friends and collaborating on things," said Herb Stratford, who led the revival of the Fox."Any project I was doing downtown, he was just involved in, because he was involved in everything."
Downtown interests had previous held a monthly gathering to pump life into the area. In early 2010, Durband and others revived the idea. They called it"Second Saturdays" and launched it that summer. He co-founded the Festivals and Events Association of Tucson and Southern Arizona, Schnaible said. Then he spearheaded an effort to get Tucson recognized as a World Festival and Event City in 2017.
