Thanks very much for all the information everyone has posted so far. Even though I may not have responded to your post individually I found them all to be very helpful. Feel free to keep it coming!
I apologize for taking so long to post again, life has been even crazier than normal lately...

If I get invited out for an interview or actually make the move I will definitely take you up on that. Never been wheeling desert style (or wheeling much at all) but would love to check it out! I'll buy the food and the beer!

But, I can say that if you're looking at NW Phx you will live minutes from this... what else do you need to know?

Not much, that says it all.

Me? I grew up in the military, so home is where you hang your hat. I appreciate what's around me, so as tibaal89 and MissR2FJ have shown, we like to try to just ... hang. I mean that in a good way cuz I've wheeled with some folks here and we have a good time. Move to the NW part of the valley, we'll show you where you can wheel and have a great time talking shop or yapping about where to find a good burro.

I've moved around a lot as well. I think the one thing that could make moving harder for me is that this is the first place I've lived long enough to build a real life and a solid group of friends, making me a bit more hesitant to pack up and leave. Sounds like you all have a good time though. When it all comes down to it, who doesn't like some good carne de burro?

As do I. Sounds like you guys have a bit of it, even if it is a bit harder to find. At least I know where to go for some good BBQ.

There are no Tastykakes west of the Mississippi. And no Italian bread. Think about it....

Sorry, Tastykakes aren't very good. (Except for iced honeybuns, the thought of which makes me salivate.) Perhaps it's because I'm not an east coast native.

First, the heat...yes for 1/3 of the year is in HOT! but in N.J. for the same period it is COLD and then it becomes summer there and it is sweltering. We do here what people do in the N.E. in the winter, move from air-conditioned home/office/business to a/c car and back just as you go from heated places. No matter if it is hot or cold, you really don't hang around out in it unless you truly enjoy that extreme.
As for food, its all out there if you are willing to not pull into the first strip center complex and go to the franchise places.
Your move to Phoenix will change your views and perspective, but a move anywhere as drastically different as NJ and PHX will do that.
Bottom line Adapt and Overcome, that’s what makes your life better anywhere you live!

I've lived all around the country and could use another "shock". I'm a little bored with NJ and part of this move would be just for a nice change. I'm not particularly fond of the weather here anyway. I would love to escape the humidity.
I'm not a big chain person, the little hole in the wall places are my favorite. It would be fun to learn a new area.

Yes, and thank you!
Whatever, to each his own. I know plenty that live here that would disagree with most of the other comments...but I will go ahead and stay out of this thread from here on out.
Don't PM me when you move here and hate it..........  |
Actually it is very nice to hear a dissenting opinion. I didn't ask the question just to get a bunch of responses saying that everything is perfect. Though luckily I won't ever have to deal with AZ while pregnant, you're issues are valid and it's helpful to hear about them. Please hang around. Actually, don't hang, I'll find you somewhere soft to sit down and put your feet up.

If you let me know what you want I can send some your way.
