Nothing to fricking do, especially in "summer" (most of the year). More expensive now due to Californians. Various towns and nature parks are nice to visit but why live out nowhere unless you're a retired boomer (Sun City). At best, raise a family so you're distracted.
Watch Breaking Bad, because New Mexico is essentially the same and it was originally pitched for Arizona.

Pretty neat find tbh. The way it was written, sounds like the Indians were a "past tense" problem and was written once Phoenix was fully established. Probably written 1890s if I were to guess but it's unknown who even wrote it
Radiator springs from cars is based on parts of Arizona. Also pic related is a pretty accurate representation of small towns in the middle of a desert while also being kino slop
imagine living in a square city block where streets are simply numbered instead of being named, in a square city thanks to every city block being square, in a square county with boundaries drawn arbitrarily with a ruler, in a square state that's nothing but leftover from what used to be mexico

Stay out of the valley. Go to the mountains in the north (Flagstaff) or the south (Tucson). The Phoenix metro area is a God forsaken hell hole.

Pretty neat find. Surreal that people lived like that barely 100 years ago
Sounds cool you should really try to preserve it like get it scanned or something.
Voter Fraud, starring Katie Hobbs.
It's Raising Arizona. One of the top five comedies.
Arizona Dream with Johnny Depp is worth checking out too.
Psycho
>It took 2 dozen replies before anyone said Psycho
This board really, unironically, doesn't watch movies. Crazy.
I watched Psycho at least 2 or 3 times and I don't remember it taking place in Arizona
The first shot of the movie is downtown Phoenix.

OP's mom spawned him, but that doesn't mean she's still not the goat lay
I think this movie filtered me. I mostly enjoyed watching it, but felt hollow at the end.
No evolution in the first 10 post. Disappointed in you gays.
He said essential. Not buried to be forgotten about in the same desert the movie was made.

Why are all the most popular cities clumped right next to each other?
