Welcome to Arizona! Phoenix, Tucson or Northern Arizona?

BTW - I'm a born and raised Californian (yes, I can surf) and only visit to see my brother. Skip San Diego and go to Hawaii. The beaches and surf are much better in Hawaii. You may notice some people driving around the area with Not Cal stickers. Kind of funny. Glad that folks in Arizona don't give people that move here from California crap since about half of everybody here is originally from California (4 of my neighbors).

Lots of people move to California from Arizona and come back because they realize it's not what everyone thinks its cracked up to be. Net migration statistics show far more CA to AZ migration then the other way around. The great days of it being the land of oppurtunity is just not the same. It was always more expensive but in the past it made sense to more folks. Having grown up there I loved it and was glad that my parents choose CA as a place to raise my brother and I. While still a great place to live it's not what it use to be. CA will always be were I came from it's just not my home anymore.

In the end calling Arizonan's "Zonies" is not appreciated.
