Crappy food, 120 degree summer days. Monsoon season. Tarantulas, scorpions, rattle snakes, black widows. No beaches. Yep, Arizon rules.

Between Phoenix Philadelphia, I would pick neither.

I prefer 85 in summers with no humidity, and 75 in winter, with no snow. LOL!

I like picking fresh Oranges and Avocados off my trees in the *summer*, and *winter*, lol, Of course that's just me, and that's why I live in California.....Hehehe..Sorry to rub it in.......

Given their recent record I wouldn't be bragging about being home to two SC Justices!

Yep, the great southwest!

A cultural wasteland (it was 115 degrees today...but the humidity is low), with beans in every dish.

Every plant or animal has thorns or venom, and you can not get a decent sandwich anywhere in this country south of Baltimore (unless it's pulled pork).

I'm sooooo envious!

No beaches.

So you would rather go to a beach near Philly and get soaked in methylene chloride, sulpher, e. coli, used condoms, and raw sewage. But, hey it's a beach right? There's nothing like spreading your beach towel out on a bed of syringes, broken bottles of malt liquor, algae and dried vomit. Ahhhh, summertime in Philly.

I think that's a bit unfair to our Zonie brethren. That said I was in Tempe last year and visited their main strip. The bar scene was okay but every single restaurant was a major chain....it was disappointing.

Actually Phoenix has Scottsdale, but Philadelphia has Chadds Ford, Bala Cynwd, Villanova, West Chester, Newtown Square, Chestnut Hill, Whitemarsh and a host of other beautiful suburban areas that are more beautiful than Scotsdale (old money, you know). What Philadelphia does not have is Camden, that's in New Jersey on the other side of the river.

I forgot to mention that WC Fields main complaint about Phila. was their Blue Laws, which thankfully, no longer exist, although the State liquor stores remain.
