I'm assuming that you prolly stopped at one of those "message parlors"? lil rub and tug action? I know you buddy!

yeah there is...but no way in hell I'd live there again! if anyone's interested, they do have Thuper Walmart and Thuper Target!

Well ive been living in phoenix for about 10 years.
Um scorpions and bugs dont usually get into your home if you keep it clean.
Coyotes arent seen to often in the city, they usually appear in areas like Litchfield, or where im at now El Mirage you know the more remote areas.

As far as shopping. We got malls spread throught phoenix
You have Arrowhead Towne Center, Metro Center Mall, Desert Sky mall, Paradise mall, Arizona Mills, alot more lol.

If your looking for an area with low crime and good schooling move to an area like.
The new avondale, The new el mirage, Surprise, Scottsdale, Buckeye, Goodyear. You know the outer suburbs of phoenix. There alot newer and alot more safer.

Hmmm lakes well there Pleasent Lake, Lake Havasu, Horshoe Lake, We got a phew
and wat makes it fun is that you have to drve about an hour or 2 to get there, so its realle adventourous. Well idk what else to say,
if you have anything more to ask me, feel free to

I've never heard of anyone out here being attacked by a coyote. Has anyone?? Unless you were maybe arm wrestling it for a rabbit or something. We have them around sometimes and they just take off. Once I saw a baby one, cute, small following along mom and dad.

The scorpions are not a big problem where I am.
There are a few lakes around Phoenix and if you want to see the Colorado river come on over to Lake Havasu City my Home (http://www.newtohavasu.net/ - broken link)
Are home expensive in Lake Havasu?

Some co-workers of mine make Rockford jokes almost a daily tradition. (I guess Rockford has been named the "armpit" of America seveal times, and some people just can't let it go, I don't know) The last time I flew into O'Hare on buisness, I decided to take the "scenic" route up to Madision where one of our sister sites is managed, and see what Rockford was really like. Well.....what everyone else has already said is pretty much the truth. Almost anything in the Phoenix metro will be a step-up, and have a much greater quality of life features. I hope that the move is as smooth as possible for your family!

I have seen coyotes waiting for the light to change at 75th Av and Bell Rd. I have seen coyotes playing on the backfields of the Peoria Sports Complex. I have seen coyotes trotting along the Skunk Creek Wash. Never heard of them going into someones house uninvited though
