    A phoenix is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.

    First Friday is the "first Friday" of every month & is a great way to show your support for your local PHX galleries & restaurants. The LightRail is a fun and safe way to get around Downtown.

    I would suggest going Downtown Phx's First Fridays which happens every month on the first friday. The festival has crafts, paintings, music, food and so much more. A great sociable event.

    Cute little city with lots of potential. Been here twice, never seems to be crowded, not a lot of people out and about, especially in the evening. People are friendly and seems pretty safe to explore.

    To say Phoenix in Navajo you say "Hoozdoh," which means "A Hot Place." You can also say "Ahééháshííh," which means "Summer All The Time."

    Everything is pretty much right next to each other. Don't have to drive much to get to where you need to go in this city!

    If you're in Central Phoenix, you must try Maizies on Central and Pierson.

    Lived in Phoenix all of my life until 4 years ago we moved to Prescott Valley. Best decision ever. Too many people from blue states, too much traffic & hotter than HELL. Moved to a RED county👍🏼👏🏽

    I speak from experience when I say a 500 year old pet Phoenix who is born from the ashes of fire, adopts you. Not the other way around.

    Overview (Fri/Sat night): A decent selection of bars & clubs. Would recommend for a group of single people...not the best if out alone.

    Phoenix is the Fast Food mecca of the USA! Only city you can find In’N Out, Whataburger, Shake Shack, Portillos, Waffle House, Culvers, & White Castle all in one place.
