Phoenix, also known as the 'Valley of
the Sun', is the capital located in north-central Arizona, boasting a population of over 2
million people. With an average humidity of 28% and an average rainfall of seven inches a
year, residents and visitors alike enjoy a fabulous climate most of the year. June, July
and August can get a bit hot "but it's a dry heat".
Downtown is the core of one of
America's largest cities. The state's tallest buildings and professional sports stadiums,
home to the Arizona Diamondbacks (2001 World Series Champs) and the Phoenix Suns, are
found along with symphony hall, libraries and theatres. A significant amount of 'urban
living' has become available in the downtown area to include lofts and high-rise living.

Phoenix is a rather large metropolitan
area covering almost 450 square miles and a population of approximately 1.6 million
residents. Industry began to develop after World War II to include aviation, aerospace and
all of the usual high-tech companies of the era. This is a far cry from 1940 when the
population was 65 thousand and the primary industries were cattle, cotton, citrus and
copper. Call Gary &

Central Avenue divides Phoenix down
the middle, running north and south. East of Central Avenue is streets and west of Central
Avenue is avenues. Due to this grid-like layout Phoenix is a very easy city to navigate.
The recently completed freeway system
circles the city with one main artery cutting down the middle. Access to downtown is quick
and direct. The entire 'loop' can be driven in approximately one hour. The airport is just
east of downtown offering easy access via multiple freeways.
