They probably saw one episode too many of CSI:. You town is a real blast and the most colorful city I have ever been in. I thought that it was wholesome entertainment too but then I wasn't looking to get into any trouble. It seem sort of family-orientated to me.
I loved the mountains in the background but my wife said that it looked like dirt was dumped on the ground. She likes a lot of greenery and the desert SW does not really appeal to her. She did enjoy it though but was a little overwhelmed by the atmosphere and pace of the city.
The lifestyle here is definitely not for everyone. It can be very surreal.
Then there comes a time, when you get use to seeing Michael Jackson impersonators walking down the street. Slot machines in the post offices, and massive billboards with Britney Spears on every corner.
The suburbs are so nice though. Brand new...., yes, very brownish and earth tones in colors.
Maybe you can get JL to change her mind, .....I know you really like it here?
Plenty of family, and fun stuff to do. I just went and drove a Lambo for 30 bucks....goofy stuff like that.
Sorry BritishDave....back to the advice.
