I love the Light Rail...finally something that really resembles a big city. I am a city gal what can I say? I remember when I first moved to AZ how horrified I was of the downtown area in general. I now live in the heart of it and am beyond happy with the direction downtown is taking. The light rail makes it just that much better. We did a pub crawl not too long ago and it was perfect, especially since they have extended the weekend hours. Taking it to Mill Ave is awesome...I never have to park down there ever again. I have seen some interesting things sure but it is public transportation and seeing as how I have been on the subway in NY, the T-Train in Boston and even the subway in Tokyo, let me tell you that the light rail happenings are pretty timid in comparison! The fact that you don't have to drive downtown if you don't want to is simply fantastic. All in all it really is the perfect addition to a growing city.
