OT: Officially Bought a House in AZ

[TruColor]

Update: We're here. Quite the event, and lots to do, but I'm finally an AZ resident. After talking about doing it for years.

Congrats! You'll love those Prescott winters compared to MN. It's only my second year here in MN and I'm quite sad about our 'winter' thus far!

I live in Eden Prairie, we totally missed winter this year.

See ya at training camp!

Congrats, Prescott is a wonderful and beautiful community. Enjoy it and get season tickets for the Cards. Lots of seas available in all sections and IMO being in person is so much better than watching on TV.

Nowhere is perfect I guess

We drove in on Friday. Left Minnesota at noon on Thursday, stayed over night in Pratt, Kansas (10 hours of driving), and then the remaining 14 driving hours from Kansas, through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, coming into Flagstaff right after all of the snow and rain. It was a hoot.

Nice!

Congrats.
Prescott can get cold but not ice storm cold like Minny.

Did you ever hit Manny's Steakhouse downtown? They have a short rib eggs benny that is out of this world.

Welcome TruColor! I’ve lived here my whole life (63 years). If it weren’t for the transplants as we call them, our state population would be 1/4 of what it is. Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, New Yorker, all welcome if they leave there traditions behind . We’re the hodgepodge of the America population. Just drive fast in the left lane, don’t wind up to make a turn, and dont mispronounce our cherished words to fit in:

I bookmarked that one. Some I knew, some I didn't. Thanks!

Minnesota (born there, didn't grow up there)
Nebraska
Missouri
Indiana (where I say I'm from)
Texas
California
Illinois
Colorado

Nice. My wife grew up in EP. And yes we did. Time to start lawn season!

Never did. Our favorite St. Paul place - Tavern on Grand - is closing in June. We weren't able to go one last time before the move. Very sad.

Yup.

Welcome and good choice staying out of Phoenix and going to Prescott. I own a home in Phoenix and love my world at home. But big cities can wear on you and become a grind. It's where the opportunity is, but I get tired of it quick. The crazy driving, traffic, noise, even occasional gun shots and I consider my neighborhood a nice community. Street racing is common and I swear I've heard 150 mph pass on the main road nearby. Overall tho people are decent compared to other places I've lived.

 

[TruColor]

I've lived in and around big cities for most of my adult life (Dallas, L.A., Chicago, Denver, Twin Cities) and I'm ready for a change.

Me as well with Phoenix, Atlanta, Philadelphia. It's easy to blend in and grass is not always greener on the other side, but there are days where I'm like ' I wish I lived somewhere a little less populated and expensive, etc.

 

[Yuma]

I always lived in small cities before this. I hate the traffic here so much, I don't take advantage of what there is to do here. I'm not liking driving 2-3 hours each day for work.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

See ya at training camp!

Now I am sad again about no training camp in Flagstaff.

So many times ASFNers connected in Flag at training camp. Man we saw Bob every year.

I get maudlin a lot about the great cards fans we have lost the last few years. I would trade a lot for one more beer and cards speculation from Bob, O, KoC, Skorp, Earthsci, Bert, and Duckjake.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Guess it's a sign of getting old, remembering the far better people than you that are gone. As they say, only the good die young

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Prescott is amazing I would love to retire there but it's on Wendy's never ever list

I see a Wendy's listed at 650 Miller valley Road, Prescott AZ 86305. One in Prescott Valley, too.

Field looks good compared to a lot of them.

Field was in good shape for sure. Boys were frozen solid by halftime. Sweet summer children.
