Extracts about Tempe Arizona


•Want to live East of the office so that you drive to and from work away from the sun

•Tempe is where ASU is so it's straight up college town. Mill Avenueis in Tempe and that's where we go to party. College is on one sideand city is on the other.

•Tempe city is ghetto and Tempe High Schoolis super ghetto. They tried to bus in other kids to improve theschool but it's kind of a disaster. I don't know how long you plan on being there and if the kids are going to go to school. You could set up shop in tempe and stage there to look for other districts.

•You really want to be in districts with good schools.Corona Del Sol, Mountain Pointe, Desert Vista are all the goodschools.

•If you like countryside go with Gilbert. if you like upscale high lifeliving like SouthPark, then you'll like Scottsdale. Tempe is verycentral for staging. Make sure you check to figure out which is the bad part and which is the good part of Tempe. You want to be in the Ahwatukee and Foothills region. Maricopa is the county but there is also Maricopacity and Mesa. The city sprawl is blowing up so you can find plenty of places. It's hard to recognize the place everytime we go back because the highway system is growing so much. I do love the airport by the way.

•My thoughts on Phoenix? I have wanted to end up in Phoenix since I was16 years old. I've always liked the city. There is so much to do andthe weather is great. I don't care about the heat, I love thesunshine. Also, there's lots of talk about Phoenix becoming thesports capital of the country so that will be exciting. If we don'tmake it out there soon, we'll most likely retire from the Army and end up there.
