| - Things I like:
+ D-backs games.
+ Suns games.
+ Easy in/out and layout for downtown area.
+ Many festivals and cultural events.
Things I don't like:
- Lack of parking downtown.
- Lack of nightlife downtown. Yes, there are restaurants and bars....but there's no "life" down there...it's very boring.
- Heavy handed DUI enforcement. Luckily, I haven't had a DUI, but I know many people who have and in other states they wouldn't have received it. One drink an you're done here in PHX, no bueno.
- No "Chinatown area".....in a city as large as Phoenix? Finding very good, authentic Asian food is extremely difficult in this city. The choices are far and few between.
- They say the city is "on a grid"....however, this "grid" is super confusing. As someone who moved here 2 yrs ago, there are still things I don't understand about the streets....why some streets go all the way across the "grid" and others change names several times. Also, there's a 5th street in Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale and I don't know how many other cities nearby.....how does that make any sense?
Overall, it's not too bad of a place. I've seen much worse.
