    God Arizona is hot

    so I'm all settled now in Glendale, AZ...on N. 79th ave by arrowhead mall and this temp is killing me.

    Today hasn't been to bad, but I moved in at 105F on Wednesday It sucked big time. I visited my univeristy a few times(Thunderbird school of global mgmt) and I hope it worth student loans...grad school tuition is no joke. I could have bought a house

    anyway, the people here seem pretty friendly, but I do miss the city life a little bit. Its kind of wierd in Suburbia but at least Phoenix traffic isn't so bad...bad in terms of volume. Thats one thing I don't miss about Chicago; however, the people here don't seem to know how to drive very well and NO ONE seems to speed more than 10 over. I guess having photo enforcement every 2miles on the 101 doesn't help

    Any glendale/peoria people here recommend a good gym? What is there to do downtown phoenix? what are the good spots? too bad there is no train system here...I guess that means 50 dollar cab ride back to the burbs when going out DT.

    I'm pretty bored since classes don't start for while still and I don't know anyone in this state...being a few miles away from campus is prolly a negative too, but the neighborhood there didn't really seem too pleasant.

    One thing I do love is that EVERY place seems to have a pool here even my freaking university has a pool in the middle of the quad in between all the dorm

    On the upside, it'll keep your vagina dry.


    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    Glendale has too many Mexicans.

    How many days have you been here? It's Monsoon season. This isn't normal weather by any means. I haven't seen it this humid since I've been here. 105 with a little humidity is worse than when it's 117 dry.

    I like Scottsdale. The streets are clean and utilities are underground. It's very nice. It's to hot for me though.

    I'd be more pro-active in moving to Arizona if it wasn't for the Draconian system of photo radar and the over abundance of assholes from California.

    Hawaii is kind of like that too, it's 87 today and should be 87 tomorrow and the next day....but it gets to like 92 in my car after sitting in the sun all day....

    no folds or creases from unkempt wear

    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    It's 105 here.

    I've never been to Phoenix but I've been to Flagstaff and Kingman. Flagstaff was not too bad, but I hated Kingman.

    This is nothing. When I moved here it hit 122 that day.

    $50 cab rides when going out DT... well 2 things are wrong with that.

    1) Everyone just drinks and drives here
    2) Downtown is dead, why would you want to go there?

    Most of the good (or trendy) clubs are either in Scottsdale or Tempe.... a long way from 79th Ave. Although you do have McDuffy's off of Bell and 84th ave or something like that.
