Kidding.

I lived there for two years and while I dug the weather for the most part and lived in a great area (McDowell Mountain Ranch over by West World if you're in Phoenix) I found that there was something missing from Scottsdale. Namely, a soul.

When I think of North Scottsdale and I think of the places I would go when I lived there like Barcelona, the Fox Sports Grill, Goldies, etc., I would always run into the kind of person who thought they were better than everyone else. A lot of plastic surgery, a lot of dye-jobs, a lot of "what do you do for a living," a lot of pretention. I didn't dig it. Especially Barcelona, that fucking place makes me shudder in disgust to this day. If you ever go there, don't bother being yourself, just lie a lot and pretend to be a doctor.

Not to say that that area is all bad. Tempe is alright and I know some good people who live in Scottsdale. All of them moved there from somewhere else though, they have families and big homes.

And a word for Goldies - they have some fantastic calzones and mugs of beer as big as your skull.
