Bad move.  This isn't where it started, this is where it ends.

Boston might be on the table too. I would happily move to Boston.

Minneapolis was mentioned too. *shudder* PASS!

Minneapolis is actually an AWESOME city if you can tolerate the winters.

Personally, I think Phoenix is horrendous, but that wouldn't deter me from moving there if the money was good and it was a move up the career ladder. Admittedly, I'm a money-hungry whore, but my life is also pretty awesome (and more so for having enough money to do what I want) so I'm not sure it's a bad thing. The other thing is, no matter how much you hate a place based on impressions, once you land there you will always manage to find cool people and cool things to do. And hell, a little Cramulus might be exactly what a place like Phoenix needs.

True-fact: there are only 4 parts of Arizona: Tucson, Phoenix, Grand Canyon, and bum-fuck nowhere. "Phoenix" is actually a metropolis of four large cities, all crammed together. The greater Phoenix area owns all the land between there and Casa Grande (the outskirts of Tucson, Point of No Return.) 

The Grand Canyon has been built around quite a bit, seeing as it is a tourist attraction, and is its own place. Most of the snowbirds that are just vacationing and don't actually have a second home here (I shit you not) go here.

There's Tucson, which everyone knows is The Holy City of She What Done It All, and would you believe its relatively tiny? only about 40 miles x 40 miles square, including Marana, South Tucson, Sahuarita (which is more part of BFN than they care to admit), and the tiny villages in the mountains.  Nobody knows how many there are, and no one cares to go check; there are stories, whispered only when the emergency response teams that responded to the last Great Burning get drunk enough to let it out.

Lastly there is bum-fuck N O W H E R E.  This is interesting, because there are miles and miles of living land (though you lot from where there is too much nature wouldn't recognize it) covered in miles and miles of dying highway, and if you blink at the wrong time, you'll miss the last gas station for 100 miles with no way to turn around.  Aside from that, there are tons of dirt roads that will lead you to nowhere (the kind that calls to the City's inhabitants from times to time), and occasional historic towns tucked away here and there. There are no NEW towns, and there haven't been for at least a hundred years.  There's a kind of furtive quietness about all of these towns, hoping against hope that one of the Big Three won't swallow them up and steal their children and their souls.

A Tucsonite is like a Christian in several important ways.  For one thing, they believe what they say about their god in the most literal, straightfaced way possible.  For another, they both know their god can hear them.  The difference between the two, however, is quite vast in terms of their relationship with their god; Christians believe in His benevolence, but Tucsonites KNOW of The City's spite and hate.
