Moving to Arizona

[Hamilton_Honey]

Hi Everyone,

I am moving to Arizona in a couple of weeks, and would appreciate any tips on favorite deco spots, restaurants, events, vintage shops, etc in the area.

I will be about 35 minutes north of Phoenix and about 45 minutes to 1 hour south of Prescott.

Anyone else in the area? I know it will take me a few weeks to get settled in, but hope to find some great new places to enjoy and maybe make a friend or two!

Thanks!

Nobody answered, but hopefully someone will now..... ^ [huh]

It's a huge possibility that we will be moving to the northern part of AZ too.

Couldn't tell you about Northern AZ cause I never go there, I live in a surrounding area of Phoenix. Main Street in Mesa has a couple antique places as well as an antique war surplus shop. Also on main down the street is Queens pizzaria. Their sandwiches and cannolis are tits.

Most the bands and action is in the Phoenix and Tempe area. My old boss and music promotor lives in the Cottonwood/Prescott area and opened up his own Antique place. I cannot think of the name, but it's downtown somewhere.

Well, I have lived in Phoenix for 10 years now and love it here. My betrothed has been here for over 30 and NEVER lacks for something to do. There are museums, comedy club, theater, restaurants galore in this area. Mexican, Brazilian, Greek, Italian, you name it, and so, so many are wonderful. As for Prescott, it seems to me it is a bit more old timey if you will, but delightful, perhaps rustic is the right word. Many nice restaurants, but it is a much smaller town than Phoenix, but has it's own small town charm. I thoroughly enjoy visiting up there. I think you will enjoy Arizona in general, if you choose too. I have traveled from Bisbee (a magical little old mining town), to Sedona (the Red Rock country), to the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff. The Mogollon Rim country around Payson is just breathtaking. It is gorgeous here with all sorts of beauty for each and every one of us. Contact me with specific questions when you get here, and I'll do my best to get you an answer. In short, I can't imagine what you would want to do, that you couldn't do here.

That goes for you too, Rue!

Thank you both

My mom, my bother and his family and my husband's parents live in the Phoenix and Tucson areas, but they aren't into Vintage of any kind (except antiques), so any information helps.
