Alarming Changes - 6/1/2007
Peoria is one of many communities that make up Maricopa County, AZ (which, by the way is larger than the State of NJ). The "Valley" is growing so fast it is being referred to as "LA East". Housing, industries (light/heavy) are growing uncontrolled, public transportation is lagging, commercial plus commute transportation is taking it's toll, (causing) poor air quality (see the AZ Republic (daily)), medical staff suffering, many services playing catch-up, 'n the population is exploding. Electric power is 'questionnable and so are the water resources ... and yet the population is encouraged to grow. The infratructure need tax $$'s. Also ... it's Hotter'n H--L here (see 'electric' power above)seven months of the year.
Other than that ... ..

Bad drivers and nutjobs aplenty - 5/31/2007
There are quite a few horrible drivers in Peoria. Apparently, no one knows how to use their turn signal. I was also road raged on Memorial Day. The woman was nuts. She threatened to break my finger!

And everyone hates one another. So many nasty people, and they get nastier every year. No one is FROM AZ, they're all from

Peoria, Arizona - 8/17/2005
Full of old people who drive really slow. A normal 5 minute drive will take on average 2-2.5 hours. People also drive like maniacs, every time you drive you have a 95% chance of being cut off, side swiped, or rear ended. Don't be surprised to see someone drive into the side of someones house and later, act like it's the homeowners fault for him drivinging into the
