Review of Phoenix, Arizona


Phoenix is beautifully ugly
Star Rating - 7/6/2007
Phoenix itself is basically an ugly overgrown 50's suburb, but the setting is beautiful beyond belief if you like desert and mountains. It really does make a difference that it's a dry heat, but not much of one once it gets over 107 or so.

It's a great city if you are either retired or have a family (if you can afford to put the kids in private school, or to drive to a decent charter school), but not so much if you're single. Most of the recreation available centers around bars and clubs or sporting events in air-conditioned stadiums.

I don't regret having moved here, but I'm looking to leave soon.
