Review of Phoenix, Arizona


Phoenix.....Hmmmm a balanced view....
Star Rating - 5/16/2007
I grew up in Phoenix, for that reason I have love for it still. Phoenix is crazy drivers, angry people, crime, air pollution, bad public transportation, sprawling messes of strip malls and abandoned strip malls, golf courses, underpaying jobs, heat, heat and more heat. In short Phoenix seems like a pressure cooker waiting to explode. On the other side Phoenix does have nice weather half of the year, beautiful mountains, great food, many different activities,a multitude of under paying jobs and easy access to the rest of the most beautiful state in the country. People aren't necessarily friendly but they do leave you alone. Like I say, I love Phoenix. Would I move back, If I really had too.
