Noun
- : A mythological bird, said to be the only one of its kind, which lives for 500 years and then dies by burning to ashes on a pyre of its own making, ignited by the sun. It then arises anew from the ashes.
- (figuratively) Anything that is reborn after apparently being destroyed. Usually used as a simile. Astronomers believe planets might form in this dead star's disk, like the mythical Phoenix rising up out of the ashes.

Hope you like ridiculous heat. In the summer, it's always >100 degrees, even at night. As for industry, I know Intel has a big presence. PHX is the headquarters for US Air. Primarily the economy is driven by real estate and retail. It is also the most sprawling city area I have ever been seen. The actual city of Phoenix is only a small part of what is really a giant mega-city. You have to drive everywhere, the traffic is bad pretty much all the time, and the drivers are hyper aggressive. That being said, it's not bad at this time of the year; the weather is nice now, and the dry climate somewhat compensates for the heat. If you like big cities, driving, etc. then you might like it. |

I'd go with the rest of the answers. It's really not great. Houses are very expensive, it's too hot. It never cools down as it is a concrete jungle. Traffic is bad. Arizona in all grew, and is still growing at such a tremendous rate that the developers can't keep up. So there is absolutely no character left in southern AZ. From Phoenix south, there's nothing special. Tucson is a wee bit better, but with our growth, the character is diminishing in lieu of housing developments. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice place to visit. For maybe a week to get out of the cold, but no one could pay me enough to move here again. We're moving out of state because the schools are awful, the crime is way high (in Tucson, but more so in Phoenix), it is too hot, there is no character, water is quickly running out, and you can't touch a decent home for under $350,000 (in Tucson, more in Phoenix). |

What are good restaurants in This is mainly for research
purposes for my new novel.
I've been in Phoenix in 1/05.
No fast food restaurants. But
good restaurants to serve
great food in the Phoenix
Metro area inc. Sedona, that
might include lobster.
Excellent opinions from
tourists and Arizona residents
will be great.
