How is Phoenix compared to other cities and what is so great about it?
Q. What is unique about Phoenix that you can't find elsewhere? If none, what are some things that are unique about Phoenix. How is Phoenix different from the other cities? Would you say it is better that many other cities as a place to live and work?

A. I'd go with the rest of the answers. It's really not great. Houses are very expensive, it's too hot. It never cools down as it is a concrete jungle. Traffic is bad. Arizona in all grew, and is still growing at such a tremendous rate that the developers can't keep up. So there is absolutely no character left in southern AZ. From Phoenix south, there's nothing special. Tucson is a wee bit better, but with our growth, the character is diminishing in lieu of housing developments. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice place to visit. For maybe a week to get out of the cold, but no one could pay me enough to move here again. We're moving out of state because the schools are awful, the crime is way high (in Tucson, but more so in Phoenix), it… [cont.]

A. If you are looking to party or go clubbing, I would suggest either Tempe or Old Town Scottsdale. If you are looking for a more wild west type of time, try North Scottsdale or Cave Creek. Personally if you are young, and of drinking age, Old Town Scottsdale would be the most fun. There are a lot of hotels in that area and you can walk easily to shopping, eating and clubbing.

what and how to lay gravels/rocks in the frontyard of Phoenix?
Q. The grass in the frontyard of my Phoenix house is all dead. I am planning to replace the grass with gravels/rocks.

Any other better recommend option if I like to be able to have a few plants with minimal maintenance? Should I use river rocks or gravels (or maybe they are the same)? I assume the procedure is 1) remove dead grass 2) lay the fabric 3) place gravels evenly. Anything I may have missed?
