RE: ADSactly Education - Arizona: The People
Great history summary. I lived in Phoenix from 79-83. Lots of great memories. Still got some family there for occasional visits. Crazy how big and spread out it has grown. And the population has just exploded.
It's just almost bizarre how much it's grown, isn't it? When I moved to Arizona the Republic had a column that ran 5 days a week entitled 5 In-3 out. For every 3 people that left, 5 moved in. They would personalize the reasons for going and for coming. That ended in the housing dump, but it went on and on for a long time prior. Phoenix is just monstrous. I went through Buckeye into actual Phoenix a couple weeks ago and there is no spaces in between. There are still farms, but no open spaces.
