I'm not sure that being in Phoenix is really "living".

Just remember that Elway loves you...

I never thought the 'dry heat' thing was possible. but I lived in Lemoore CA for 3.5 years and it was always hot as F in the summer. thougn, 'dry'.

when I finally came home, I did so in August. I had to stop and get gas in Lawrence, and stepped outside and nearly died. The humidity was killing me and it was only about 30%.

I worked in Atlanta for a few months and it wasn't so much the hot and humid days, but how the humidity ruined the nice days, too.... the ~60 degree mornings in the early spring were still really muggy. Yeah, hot and humid is the same suck here or in Florida, but the humidity isn't nearly as noticeable here when it's not 85+ (at least for me).

I've been to Florida in the late fall and winter, and it's great... but, then there's the other 8-9 months of the year when people in Florida aren't bragging about the weather every chance they get.... :shrug:

Not so much; have friends who have bikes but don't ride during the summer because going 65 in 108 degree temp is killer.

...oh by the way, it's a bit early for this type of thing but it's supposed to be 104 Friday...

I've been all over AZ and Phoenix is tied with Tuba City as my least favorite places in the state. Move to Jerome and just do your fancy, big-city stuff in Sedona.

Did anyone mention PHX averages 100 triple digit days a year? **** that noize!!!

So do you go outside everyday where you live for activities?

Dumb as hell. No offense Archie but...

vailpass,

Ever hear of Verrado in Buckeye? Legit? Good place to live?

I can't claim much knowledge here except to say buckeye used to be out of town but is now part of town due to sprawl. Verrado I think can offer you a large house for the dollar but I don't know if it's one of those communities where your neighbor is five feet away and can see through your windows. There are a lot of those out here...

Is Scottsdale better than Avondale?

So much depends on if you have to drive to work and where work is located.

Take the wife and kids to see Palmer & the Interceptions if you can.

Best places to live if work is in north Phoenix?
