SURPRISE

---

as some of you may know. pheonix arizona has been a real investor hot spot for some time now. I've been out to surprise, arizona a number of times for investment related issues. i always find some time to go out and explore though. it was during this time that i began to hate big business. I began to dislike how shopping centers are so pre-packaged now. There is hardly anything new and different when you find yourself in a new place. head to a shopping center.

you'll find: petco, home depot, wall mart, target, subway, Mcdonalds. head to a mall. gap, radio shack, macys, sharper image, etc etc etc..

Anywho, pheonix is a nice place to live. and to a californian its some bargain to purchase a home. Its just missing the ocean and that *dry heat* that keeps me from living there.
