My husband and I moved to AZ from Minneapolis. We knew we wanted to get away from MN weather, and we THOUGHT we wanted to get away from big city living. So we chose Prescott. Now, we're coming up on two years here and we finally talked about it last night and we realized that we're just not small town people, and we miss many things about living in the city. But we LOVE AZ (and don't want to live in Phoenix), so we're talking about checking out Tucson. We would both actually LOVE to live in Flag, based on what we've seen of the city, but I absolutely will NOT go back to that kind of winter.
I also like the fact that there are SO many more job opportunities than where I am now. The idea of having about a dozen hospitals from which to choose is just thrilling to me. Plus, I want to go back and get a graduate degree and would like the option of doing it on an actual campus, rather than online.
So anyway, just wondering what people's thoughts are on Tucson and raising a family there. We're not big suburb people, and prefer being closer to the city. We like the university atmosphere so are thinking maybe something near the UA campus. We're planning on taking 3-4 days off this summer and drive down there and just look around. We want to see what the summers are like, compared to Phoenix (I've gotten the impression it's a BIT cooler in Tucson).
