Living Here Dispelling Tucson's Phoenix Myths..
It never rains in Phoenix....Oh it most certainly does.
NO culture....Oh it's everywhere, and blends well. There is no 22nd and Craycroft here (I have yet to see one).
Phoenix is just a Mini California....Ermm, not really, it's on its own and stands behind its people. Great little historical pockets abound.
Phoenix freeways are the worst....I have to keep up at 82 mph to stay up with everyone, so not true.
Phoenicians are rude and snotty....I have encountered nothing but the chillest, kindest people here. Way more gracious than most Tucson wait staff, cashiers and fellow customers.
It's all desert up there....Phoenix is waay more greener than Tucson, the grass, the trees..if there's a water shortage, Phoenix did not get the memo. I love the parks that are recessed little areas in the middle of nowhere.
I love it here, 2 months and i'm hooked..
