TND West

Burt and Jean were finishing their final exams at Arizona State University when they both happened to be struck with a desire to get out of town. It was May in the desert and it was the beginning of a record setting summer and the two students already needed relief. And while it’s true that summer had not yet started if you want to be technical about it, you shouldn’t say that too loud in Phoenix. And any Phoenician will tell you that summer is one of two seasons and it lasts at least half of the year. Something slightly resembling fall is the other season and it lasts a few months somewhere in-between November and February.

However, with that in mind, both of the students would also be the first to defend the beauty of the desert and the greatness of their city. Unlike most of the residents in Phoenix, both Burt and Jean were natives, they were born there. And also somewhat unlikely at ASU, they were both in-state students. They were well accustomed to the amazing sunsets and sunrises they experienced almost daily and they also loved the monsoons that would be arriving in mid to late July. In addition there is openness to the desert that makes it difficult to live anywhere else once you’ve been there a while. In fact, Phoenix has one of the highest rates of return citizenship for those who have moved away.

There is also a great deal of cultural attractions, and professional sports teams to keep everyone happy and attract numerous tourists to the best hotels Phoenix every year. Some of them even go so far as to live in Phoenix during the non-summer season, these residents are referred to as snow birds. The Herberger Theater Center, The Phoenix Art Museum and the Arizona Science Center are only three of the many cultural establishments in Phoenix. And this doesn’t include those in the surrounding cities such as Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale and Tempe where Burt and Jean lived. So, while the students were looking forward to a brief exit, they loved their city and the desert and would be back soon.
