Why I love Phoenix!

<-- At the State Fair with my friend 2008.

Hi, My name is Paige. I am 19 yrs old, a Sophmore here at ASU working on my Teaching degree (aiming for 4th grade). I have lived in Laveen, Arizona all my life. I live

in an area where there are farms and I guess you could say I live on one includi

ng horses to chickens, a protective German Shepherd and two gopher killing cats. I travelled to many states when I was younger. My family travels during the summer to Imperial Beach, San Diego, California every year (this summer we didn't). I don't travel to many places but when it comes to helping my mother (She is a professional Photographer) I go to some wonderful places. Phoenix is a great place to live with all the fun and exciting things to do. Besides the weather in the summer time being hot and the crazy monsoons Phoenix is a great place to be.

#1 Night Spot: Gateway Pavillions

Gateway Pavillions is a great place to go to at night when you want to just hang out. You can go to a restuarant such as Native New Yorker or Peter Piper Pizza to enjoy some games and even go to the theater to catch a movie.

Why I love Gateway Pavillions

This is a great place to hang out with friends and be with family. I like coming here to see a movie and play games at Peter Piper Pizza. I like walking to the Starbucks and catching a bite to eat at McDonalds. Sometimes I would like to enjoy walking into one of the technology stores (I don't remember the name, I believe it closed) to buy a CD or Movie. But there is other stores as well like Game Stop (next to Starbucks) and even Costco.

Here is more information on Gateway Pavillions

*******This link is to Harkins Theater with reviews, however, this is in an area where there are lots of stores and restaurants to go to.*******

#2 Night Spot: The Buzz

The Buzz is a night club in North Scottsdale. It is a place for 18 and up age group. This is a great club to bring a group of friends to and dance the night away.

Why I love The Buzz

I love The Buzz because I can hang out with my friends and my own age group. There are two floors one downstairs for the under 21 and the upstairs for 21 and up. I love dancing to the music and hanging out with my friends. On Friday and Saturday nights around ten more people start to show up on the dance floor. It is a great way to make new friends and meet new people. And, for $10/ girls for 4hrs of dancing is pretty good.

Diamond Backs are Arizona's baseball team. They play at Chase Field in Downtown Phoenix just down the street from Heritage Square and the Arizona Science Center. Arizona Diamond Backs are great to watch for entertainment during the summer.
