Phoenix  is the state capital of Arizona, and was incorporated as a city on February 25, 1881. Phoenix is located in central Arizona in the southwestern United States, 118 miles (188 km) northwest of Tucson. It is Arizona's largest city and largest metropolitan area by population. It is also the county seat of Maricopa County and the principal city of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Phoenix is appropriately called Hoozdo, or "the place is hot", in the Navajo language and Fiinigis in the Western Apache language.\n\nIn mid-2004, Phoenix was the sixth-largest city in the United States according to the U.S. Census Bureau's latest estimates. However, according to unofficial projections Phoenix surpassed Philadelphia in late 2005, moving into the top five cities in the U.S. The 2000 U.S. Census reported the Phoenix Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) as the fourteenth-largest in the U.S., with a population of 3,251,876. The city's MSA grew to an estimated 3,790,000 by 2004. Between 1990 and 2000, the metropolitan area grew by 34 percent, making it the eighth fastest-growing metropolitan area in the U.S.\n\nPhoenix is the largest capital city by population, and the third-largest capital city by area in the U.S. (behind Juneau, Alaska and Oklahoma City).

I lived in AZ, it'll depend on why...If working in Phoenix, Casa Grande is about an hour south and a great city to live in...it is also about an hour north of Tuscon so same answer...If looking to retire or just live, I would recommend Wickenburg area

Having not approached retirement age and not know what you might like to do in retirement, I thought I'd just throw a few cool ideas out there that I like to spend time near. \n\nScottsdale, Az  - A suburb of the Phoenix area and common retirement location. Nearly never a cloud in the sky, save the monsoon season in early fall/late summer. Temperatures get SCORCHING during the summer days but is ideal during colder months if you like your fun in the sun. Mountains, Grand Canyon, and Mexico all within 3 hours driving time. \n\nSan Diego, CA - Again, sunny almost year round! My brother visits me in the midwest from there on occasion and completely freaks out in thunderstorms because he literally never sees them. Of course you might get an occasional earthquake...no place is perfect. Can't beat having a beach near by. Year round temperatures from 50-78 as a high. Mexico, LA, Vegas, and Sequoia redwood forest all within 5ish hours drive. \n\nColorado Springs, CO - Beautiful Mountains and forest recreation in a small town feel with big town advantages. Only a couple hours from Denver and just a few more to Rio Grande National Forest and Taos, NM. If the outdoors and a little cooler temperature is your thing, this is place is beautiful, friendly, and quiet. \n\nSonoma County, CA - Wine country and San Francisco. The Russian River meets rocky shores of the Pacific and the Northern Redwoods start to be dominant in the mountain forests. Lots of culture and great food & drink!\n\nSpringfield, MO - ONe of the most inexpensive places to live in a growing community (200,000+) that holds on to its small town roots. KC, St. Louis and Tulsa all 3 hours or less and its centered in the US enough to make for easy travel to any part of the country with a welcome atmosphere to come home too. \n\nThere's a few places that had a good "feel" to them when I had a chance to visit the east coast, but I'm not sure I know enough about them to give a good description, but thought I'd list them all the same:\n\nBoston, Mass - A neat big city with a great accent!\n\nLong Island, NY - for my girlfriend, shes just too fond of it to be all bad! Really though, ocean side on all ends and a few stone throws away from the Big Apple. Can even catch some wine country to the east. \n\nFlorida?  Not been but it seems a common place....personally I think its too crime ridden and overrun by hurricanes for me\n\nSo, theres 8ish, think I'll leave it at that....happy retirement!!!!

The Grand Canyon cuts across the upper northwestern edge of Arizona (just below the border with Utah).  The main portion of the canyon is over 250 miles long and runs from near Lake Powell on east to Lake Mead on the west.\n\nThe most famous portion (and the area with the lodges) is near the middle.  There is a small park service-ran community on the South Rim with numerous lodges and a smaller lodge on the North Rim that is only open in summer.  The North Rim is much higher elevation and thus cooler and gets snow in the winter (it is also much less developed).  \n\nThe closest towns to the South Rim are Flagstaff and Williams, Arizona along I-40 (about 90 miles away).  The nearest town to the North Rim lodge is Kanab, Utah (also about 90 miles).  It is about a 4 hour drive from Phoenix, Arizona to the South Rim and about a 6-7 hour drive from Las Vegas to the North Rim.

Phoenix is, unfortunately, a great place to get creamed by a car.  Bikes get little respect on the roads.\n\nThe Arizona Canal itself and the system of Salt River Project canals run through Scottsdale all the way to Glendale, are worth a look.  It's a smooth trail (decomposed granite), but is NOT paved.  A road bike won't work, but it is nice for running and biking (with a mountain bike or crossover).\n\nThe trails are nice, and go for miles in every direction.  They cut through golf courses and other nice areas.

That was on Discovery Channel the other day.  They were not permitted to reveal the specific location, but I think they said it was in Arizona.

Phoenix & Scottsdale, AZ have become the new CA (we have so many Californians moving here).  Growing Robust economy many companies moved & moving here (i.e. Dial, Motorola, Intel etc).  Housing is still very affordable in comparison.  When ppl get here they are shocked to find outsid eof the cities, you have forests & snow & ski resorts.  There are many very big lakes & its 4-5 hours from Vegas.  Heres some more cool stuff about AZ http://websearch.fineliving.com/fine/web/searchResults?Site=FINE&searchType=Site&searchString=Az

In ancient Egyptian mythology and in myths derived from it, the phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird.\n\nSaid to live for 500, 1461 or for 12594 years (depending on the source), the phoenix is a male bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises. The new phoenix embalms the ashes of the old phoenix in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in Heliopolis ("the city of the sun" in Greek), located in Egypt. The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible — a symbol of fire and divinity.\n\nOriginally, the phoenix was identified by the Egyptians as a stork or heron-like bird called a benu, (see Bennu), known from the Book of the Dead and other Egyptian texts as one of the sacred symbols of worship at Heliopolis, closely associated with the rising sun and the Egyptian sun-god Ra.\nOne inspiration that has been suggested for the Egyptian phoenix is a specific bird species of East Africa. This bird nests on salt flats that are too hot for its eggs or chicks to survive; it builds a mound several inches tall and large enough to support its egg, which it lays in that marginally cooler location. The convection currents around these mounds resembles the turbulence of a flame.

You should phone a local high school and ask for information. They should know because they also have an Alternative School. All school systems do (at least in the Phoenix area).
