Scottsdale is not only good looking, but safe and well-educated, too
Scottsdale’s done it again! Not only has it been deemed “The Most Livable City” award by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, it’s now been ranked as the 8th Best Run City in the United States by 12/7 Wall St.! Both the City of Scottsdale and the City of Chandler ranked in the top ten for [...]

Chandler has jobs, good credit, low crime AND wins popularity contests
24/7 Wall St. recently honored the City of Chandler as the 9th Best Run City in the United States with a hefty case for this achievement.

Phoenix: young and growing with good times ahead
In case you haven’t heard, Arizona’s economy is in a solid rebound. Home prices are indisputably on the rise, apartment leases are being hiked, fewer homes are being foreclosed upon, and unemployment is slowly inching downward. Housing market know-it-all Zillow has reported that Phoenix was the fastest market to improve home values from December 2011 [...]

This week’s featured neighborhood – Central Phoenix
I’m willing to go out on a limb here and share my contention that Central Phoenix is the best place in the entire Phoenix area to live right now. Everything you could possibly want is right at your fingertips and what’s even better is how stylish, beautiful, and safe it has become. Just so we’re [...]
You know you’re a Phoenix native when ..
Like I always say, we’ve got it pretty good here in Phoenix. Though the summer season is unquestionably my favorite time of year here, I love the winter almost as much. It’s not because I enjoy the cold; that’s definitely not it! It’s because this time of year the real Phoenix natives stand out amongst [...]

Make it a snow day in Northern Arizona!
Snow may have come late this season but now that we’ve had a few solid storms recently, there is plenty of that chilly white stuff just up north. Pack up the car with all of your warmest clothes, a handy guide, and most importantly don’t forget your childlike sense of wonder over the beauty of [...]
apartment plants \ indoor gardening
Apartment living goes green with easy plants for your Phoenix apartment
Between living in Phoenix and living in an apartment, there are handfuls of reasons why your place is lacking any sort of plant life. It’s nearly impossible to keep anything alive out on the patio unless it’s a cactus, and there’s usually not much space inside to do too much. Plus, things can get messy [...]
Arizona Democratic Party \ Arizona MLK Day events \ Dr. Martin Luther King Day march \ Martin Luther King Day \ Tempe Town Lake
Honoring the real reason for MLK Day in Phoenix
Getting back to work after the long holiday season, rife with three or four day work weeks, week after week, makes heading in five days in a row pretty excruciating. Everyone looks forward to the upcoming and much needed three-day weekend in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, like a life jacket [...]
Phoenix \ Real estate pricing \ Renting
Phoenix home prices are shooting through the roof!
There are more renters in Phoenix and its surrounding cities than ever before. We saw some of the highest rates of foreclosures than any city in the U.S. when the housing market began its downward spiral in 2007. This has left oodles of Arizonians with no other choice than to rent. Having said that, renting [...]
Arizona yoga \ free yoga \ Phoenix yoga
Who likes free things? How about free yoga?
That Capital One baby is insane. Everybody likes free things; it’s a fact. The holiday season usually is the time of the year that we are all a bit strapped for cash, so why pay for something when you don’t have to? Between all of those gifts I just had to buy for the special [...]

Kick-off 2013 on a well pedicured foot
The holidays are over, it’s finally time to kick back and relax! Now that the hustle and bustle of holiday parties, gift shopping, all of that extra travel, and hoards of family time are over, I think we’ve all earned a bit of time to ourselves. You don’t want to start in on the new [...]

Seize the season’s last celebration at Glendale Glitter & Glow
Who else isn’t quite ready to kiss the holiday season goodbye? Last year I attended The Glendale Glitter & Glow Block Party and had an absurdly fun time.

What life was like before the Dinosaur Apocalypse
I think we all deserve a high-five. The human species has just survived yet another apocalypse! I mean, there was the almost certain end of us all when every facet of technology was to shutdown because it would be incapable to process the new millennium when the calendar shifted from 1999 to 2000. I distinctly [...]

Everyday an artist is able to transform a blank canvas into something beautiful, or a mound of clay into a masterpiece. Every year, the City of Scottsdale pays tribute to these fine artists by transforming a baron block of desert into a Celebration of Fine Art. Beginning January 12th, 2013 the gigantic white tents go [...]
