These East/West Valley discussions are funny. There must be some deep, psychological thing going on which keeps bringing them back. When it finally is decided what the dividing line is, maybe giving it a name would be appropriate (?).

Must be how the Mason-Dixon Line was named.

Or the 38th Parallel.

We live 3 blocks west of Central. No way this is the "West Valley".

That is exactly my point...so why the heck to you keep bringing it up if no one is asking about it and it doesn't represent the "west valley" that people are posting about?

Your first two posts in this thread are about Maryvale and you have mentioned it more in this thread than anyone by a mile.

If the OP didn't ask about it and people on this forum are not talking about it so why do you keep posting about it?

I say West of I17

The mental gymnastics people go through to make the WV not include Alhambra/Maryvale is shocking.

I'm not saying it isn't part of the west valley, I frankly don't know...I'm saying everything I find online says it isn't. You guys keep making statements about what you think and "i say". Show me something that indicates it is part of the "west valley" other than the wikipedia page that users in this thread are editing on the fly. I've posted what I found.

When they label something east and west it is because it is east or west of something. Everything I found online makes it appear that "east valley" and "west valley" are indicators of the suburban cities that are east and west of the 5th largest city in the country.

The west is the best, the east is the beast.

There now, this long-running thread can finally be closed.

People seem to forget there is a central valley in between.

OR...if you lived here before anything was built past Glendale in the West Valley...when it was all cotton fields and dairy farms, West Valley will always be the Avenues. Sure there was the Central Corridor but that was because everyone used to cruise Central on Fridays Evenings...but no one called it the "Central Valley". You all want to change your definitions of things, that is fine, and obviously we will argue about it till we are all blue in the face. Just one more indicator of an AZ Newb vs. long time residents.
