What area do you think will have changed the most?
In my opinion downtown Phoenix would have changed the most. Due to the fact that highrises would have crumbled, the glass skin of Chase Tower, Cityscape tower 1, OCPE, and Phelps Dodge Center would be gone. Wells Fargo would probably be the last one standing due to the 30 stories of concrete.

Well I was just choosing Phoenix. Also because it'll be the one the largest desolated cities in America if this happens.

Wow, it's amazing that people are even responding to this thread and taking it seriously. Why not just start a thread: "If Phoenix was a city in the Max Max films, what would it look like?"

Due to the ice age we'd have a white winter. After the big one takes off Southern Cali, Yuma would be home to some sweet glaciers. lol

Where did the people go, the moon? Or is it just some wacky environmentalist's dream of human extinction? I've never understood that TV show....

How did I know some ignorant racist would just have to say something about Hispanics on here?
So what if people want to speak English and Spanish? It's a free country people can speak whatever we want-and it does not have to be an illegal person here speaking it! I am American and speak both--and sometimes I interchange them-I think it's great for people to learn more than one language, and it doesn't necessarily have to be Spanish.
Spanish is a heathen tongue? I am sorry but your ideas are more heathen than anything and it's an embarrassment to share a country with people who think like you.


In any case, who knows what there will be in 100 hundred years from now-people are bent on destroying themselves and each other, not to mention the planet and wildlife-although I try to be optimistic I don't feel so good about our future, or what others will look back and see what people were about .
