. "This is Quicktrip, a massive service station and convenience store, considering the population of Tempe. It has about 20 lanes on either side of 10 pumping stations. \n\nIt is on Scottsdale Road, near the border to the city of Scottsdale, one of the 3 main streets of Scottsdale (there are a lot of streets in Scottsdale, but you only need to know Scottsdale, Hayden, and the Loop 101 and you can get to everything else). Actually, this is also near the 202. \n\nScottsdale is what Tempe wants to be when it grows up. Tempe, home to Arizona State, is kind of like a teenager's room: messy, unkept, hangout for the young and immature and where all the beautiful Babes can be seen (but not had). \n\nThe farther north you go from Tempe to Scottsdale, it is like a persons passage into mid-life. Their are apartment complexes. then homes, and children, and larger homes with all the possessions you would want, and finally retirement homes. \n\nThe messy room turns into well organized living spaces with manicured landscaping. The people become older, and frequent the Whole Foods looking for vitamins and fiber more than the convenience store for a soda and snacks.\n\nThis is Quicktrip number 00429, register 2, approval code 306709. \nGood luck on your Passage."^^ .
