So, as I've mentioned, I'm moving to Phoenix in about six months. When I was getting ready to move to Philadelphia, I started reading the web sites of the alternative weeklies, the Metroblogging Philadelphia site, and other blogs/sites about living in this city. I found it to be a great way to get a feel for events, places, neighborhoods, and even figure out where I wanted to live. It really helped smooth the transition for me.

I've tried hunting down some similar resources for Phoenix, but my Google-fu just isn't working this time around. The few blogs I've found (Metroblogging, Phoenix City Living, Urban vertical) haven't been updated in months and/or have infrequent posts. The only regular sources of local info I've found are the Arizona Republic and the Phoenix New Times.

Thanks to this forum, I've found the 1480 KPHX site, so I can occasionally listen to local talk radio, but reading is usually more convenient for me. I'm wondering whether anyone can suggest any blogs or other frequently updated web sites about living in the Phoenix area, particularly downtown.

Oh, don't get me wrong, this is a great resource. But I was looking for places that are less about specific questions and answers, and more about recounting the day-to-day goings on in town.

On my own blog I have a sidebar called "Interesting Reading" that links to a few dozen local blogs. Some are more active than others, and many are food-related since that's one of my chief interests. There are several, however, with a Downtown focus.

Oh, that's perfect! Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

There can never be too much writing about food, in my opinion. Nice map mashup, too.

Now I'll now where to eat when I first move, plus I've added a bunch of new sites to my Bloglines page, thanks to you.
