Phoenix is the capital and largest city of the state of Arizona, United
States. The metro area is now approx 4million residents (more in the
winter months). The biggest draw of Phoenix is its winter-time
climate. You can expect frost about once every other year in
Phoenix. Hordes of midwesterners flee to Phoenix each winter to
escape the brutal cold back home. Phoenix boasts an incredible quality of life. Housing is
cheap and roomy. Streets are wide, traffic is light for a city
this size, and the climate is conducive to an extremly laid-back
existance. Every class of society is represented in the Phoenix
area, and most co-habitate fairly pleasantly. Scottsdale boasts
scores of manicured golf courses and 5-star resorts. Tempe is a
college town with a funky feel guaranteed to charm all but the hardest
of hearts. Mesa is the second largest mormon community in the
world, behind only Salt Lake City. The Phoenix area is home to a
large population of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans...both recent
immigrants and descendants of families who lived here when it was still
part of Mexico. You'll find great Mexican food almost anywhere
you go. Phoenix does have its share of problems.
Summers
here are insanely hot. Having weeks at 115 degrees is not
uncommon...if it gets to 120 degrees, everything has to shut
town. For a desert city, Phoenicians let the water flow freely to
fill their swimming pools and water their lawns. This creates some
problems with water in dry years. Phoenix also has some not-so
nice areas which should be avoided--if for no other reason than the
smell of heavy industry and waste disposal. Many "residents" are
transients and leave the city for part of the year, creating problems
with absenteeism. All this pales in comparison to the enjoyment
and pride most Phoenicians feel. Phoenix is still developing its identity as a center of
culture, but you can see some great plays and exhibits in
downtown...not to mention all types ...
