Oh. Never mind. Here’s some of that Phoenix sophistication. I was obviously mistaken.

Same can be said for pretty much any suburban area of any large city across the US. However, suburban areas are pretty much never the heart and soul and "culture" of a place.

I have been here since 2003 and have found no evidence of it. I had culture back home. Here I have amazing nature.

Both Dallas and Phoenix are pretentious imitators of Los Angeles.

I just assumed it was all the stuck up douchebags pronouncing it wrong on purpose for some reason. You don't have to grow up in Mexico to know how "Grande" is pronounced.

Phoenix doesn't have any "urban" areas though. There's like 3 blocks of office skyscrapers, an airport, and a bunch of crackhouses and stripmalls. The entire "city" is a suburb.

Everyone is going to have their own take on the culture and "vibe" of the Phoenix area because they see it through their own lens.

Personally...I like all of it. Mostly, I feel like things are laid back, work hard play hard type of feeling.
That’s what I like about it. There are many different flavors here and one can find one or more than one which suits them.
