Western Members - Might be moving to Tempe, Az. How is it?

Like the title says, i might be going out there for work. I guess the fire departments are paying good. how is the life out there? Clubs, night life, take a lady out kinda thing. Also, hows the race scene? both street, strip, crusing, meets, car shows ect.

thanks,

Hey there. Well a lot of us from Arizona don't hang out in Tempe. Due to the fact most of the guys on here live on the west side. I live in chandler. Tempe is a pretty cool place. I think bc it's close to ASU so there is a lot going on that way. Im not sure about clubs and stuff bc I never go. but from what I hear they are alright. When you come out. Just go out and find out what you like and don't like. Just because we all have different opinions.

From my observation of Arizona, it's where they manufacture HEAT and send it to Hell and other places! :jest:

hah, well if i did not like heat i'd find another job!

Tempe is a party town!! Wish I was closer. :)

I'm from Hoffman Estates/Schaumburg, IL. like 15 minutes outside of Chicago. and our police/fire departments in the area are some of the highest paid in the country.

I highly doubt youd make more here.

The only thing is that out here you need no education, theyll hire pretty much no experience/education.

I don't care for the east side much...Little too overgrown

if he didn't like heat, he wouldn't be a firefighter!! :)

tempe has a lot of college bars and night life and phx is 10 min away, were not the fifth largest city for nothing?

i have a buddy who is waiting for a spot on the tempe dept, he got dropped by the gila river dept when they decided they weren't going to hire anymore after they already offered him (and three others ) the job! :bang: damm injuns!

good luck with the search.

thanks, right now im waiting to find out if i am moving or not, any emission laws there?

obd2 is just plug in and check for codes, no sniffer or inspection. :)

The Phoenix area is frickin hot! The winters are beatiful though. From about May until about August September it's in the hundereds with highs around 115 or so during July. From September to October November, the highs are in the high 80s low 90s November to about February March, highs are in the low 70s high 60s (maybe high 50s) and March to April May, highs are in the high 70s mid 80s.

As for Tempe, yes it is a party town. Ariz State Univ is the main driver of the Tempe economy/nightlife with approximately 50,000 college students. The girls at ASU are top-notch! There are many clubs in Tempe. Mill Avenue is probably the main place to be on the weekend to hunt down college chicks. Directly to the North is Scottsdale which is among the most livable cities in the U.S. (Ranked #3 I think). Scottsdale has a lot of higher end clubs and is the home to many upper class Arizona residents affectionately nicknamed Snobsdale. I have to admit though, Scottsdale is home to A lot of hot women.

Hope this helps.
