QOS you need to come visit anytime but Summer which is not for the weak!

Uh... I'm way beyond visiting. I'm moving there in about 6 weeks LOL

Yipee QoS!

Where are you going to live? 6wks will start cool down here and the monsoon season probably be over.

We'll definitely need to get together.

I used to live in Tempe. I liked it.....its been years, but I remember drinking on ASU's mountain that overlooks the stadium and raising hell along Camelback Road.

Yep,

Tempe-home of ASU. Definitely a college town, plenty of fast foods and dance clubs.
Less expensive housing too. Tempe Town Lake dam broke a couple of weeks ago big loss of income for Tempe. Projecting to have it repaired by Nov.when Snowbirds return.

Tempe also just opened a huge Aquarium. I havent seen it yet, but looks great. My 2 fav (so far) aquariums - Monterey Bay and Chicago.

I still haven't made up my mind on whether to move to Arizona or not yet. The weather issue is huge for me I have asthma and too hot or too cold is not good!!

You would probably due well (health wise ) considering hot/cold issue. Prescott, Cottonwood, Sedona, ShowLow, Payson. They are the Central Band of AZ. The weather is a 4 seasons area, but not the tempature extremes. However, it is a trade off for cultural and community(each is at least 1 1/2 hrs from Phoenix or Flagstaff).

Have you visited AZ? You really should visit in Summer so you can check out different regions during the Monsoon season June to Sept (worse weather July/Aug). I vacationed in AZ for 5yrs several regions coming different times of the year before I moved here. I think there is something for everyone here-snow, mountains, and desert. You're welcome to come anytime.

New to the forum, just wanted to shout-out from Phoenix, 5th largest city in the US.... um, ah, where the heck is everyone??

PM sent to Queenofsmirks re your impending move here. When people razz you about it being hotter than hell here just tell them this winter you'll be in flip-flops and shorts when they are freezing their hineys off. Oh, and that you don't have to shovel sunshine!

Well, my office is in downtown Phoenix, and I would really like to live within 20 minutes of there, but am willing to live a little further (Scottsdale, etc) if I find a really fabulous place that is just sooo much more amazing than anything in Phoenix; but frankly, of all the places I've looked at online, I don't think I'm going to have any problem finding a great place close to the office.

I DEFINITELY would love for all of us to get together once I'm settled... like maybe early October? I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone.

FF, thanks especially to you for making me feel welcome on this thread. I don't know a single person in AZ, so it's nice to know there are some welcoming people here!
