The same shit they were doing in the late 80's when I lived there for a few months and that is consume and wash the fucking car. Mine was the only dirty one there.
Sunday went for a fairly long ride say in the northwest part and I was surprised and disappointed that growth had reached almost to the end of the valley and it's my understanding it's almost like that every where else and with the metro population surpassing 6,000,000 that's understandable.
One shopping mall after another with ground work done in preparation for more and more. Millions dependent on most all they need to survive in a super harsh environment meant for many less.
Call me crazy but I just have issues with this as like Vegas. Phoenix was boring as hell way back when and seems even more so now.

ReplyDeleteThat's why I avoid Phoenix as much as possible. Flagstaff isn't perfect, but it is real.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost certain I will never be back Pygalia and have always felt that way about Flag.
ReplyDeleteThis guy seems to have it nailed Fearguth.
I have taken one trip to Nevada/Arizona area and it amazes me where they get all their water from, they don't get regular rainfall in anywhere near enough quantities, so they must drain the rivers and use snowmelt, a couple of dry years in the mountains and everybody will be driving a dirty car.
