Welcome to the site, Doug. Nick thinks that Arizona is taking over the world, and soon, BiggerPockets as well. Regardless, it is good having you on board.

Forgive me Joshua, it was late and I awoke with my foot in my mouth. I stand corrected. Deeper Pockets is what happens when you associate with BiggerPockets!

It was a great day for a hike here in paradise. Thanks for the hello Matt! Tempe is a great area but you should come visit us sometime on the West Side. Sierra Verde in Arrowhead was voted the best neighborhood in Phoenix in 2008.

Welcome, Doug. Good to have one more person from Arizona. I am a brand new Arizonan myself, having moved here just last week. Not sure which "valley" I am in because the place looks mostly flat with a couple of brown hills here and there.

Vikram, what city do you actually live in?
Doug is a west sider b/c he's in Glendale, I'm an east sider b/c I'm on the phoenix/scottsdale border in a little known neighborhood called 'Arcadia', if you see the mountain that looks like a camel laying down chilling, I'm at the bottom of that mountain to give you perspective. I'm trying to make my way to the north side of that mountain :mrgreen:
Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Tempe and Queen Creek are all east siders. Glendale, Avondale, Peoria etc... are all west siders and pretty much dirty, dirty people(j/k Doug E. Fresh)

Nick, I am in Chandler so I am an East Valley guy, I guess. I did check out the west side the other day - went to a place called Waddell. Quite some drive. Interesting place, too. People were driving around their neighborhood in ATVs and kicking up some dust. Have you seen the movie Mad Max? I felt like I was in it.

Ha! that's not even a city LOL!! that's merely a gathering of outcast hillbillies :mrgreen: Just make sure you don't make the mistake of ending up in Apache Junction! There is a good chance you'll never meet someone with all of their teeth! oh, I'm on a roll....stop me now LOL
You're good in Chandler, it's really nice there, nice quality of life.

Thats why its so funny! You couldn't make that stuff up! It's so outrageous to think that you couldn't meet one person in AJ with all their own teeth, yet, if you tried, you would fail miserably LOL!!!
I agree with the superstitions though! have you ever been to that old miner town bbq place on the old Apache Trail on the way up to the lake(s)? super good food there!
