Cardinals Stadium(Glendale-AZ) in World’s 10 Best

A signature element of the new stadium and the only one of its kind in the U.S., UK or Europe, the 2.2 million-pound roof can be opened in 12 minutes. The roof crawls at a snail-like pace of 1/4 mile per hour to ensure control and safety while moving the huge panels.

Timp de asteptare la emergency room....6 ore hartii de semnat de catre parintzi cam de "grosimea" DEX-ului pentru limba romana..."problema" nu era nici foarte grava nici usoara...fetitza de 4 ani a inghitit o moneda de 25 de centzi care i s-a oprit in gat.

10 Things You Won't Find in Phoenix !

Landmarks and Skyscrapers? Nope.

"Whenever people come from one place to another place, there are always some surprises. I know there are still some people who think that when they come to Phoenix, they'll see lots of dusty trails, tumbling tumbleweeds, cowboys and Indians, people wearing cowboy boots and cowboy hats, and sand dunes. Well, we have some of those things, but that's not really what the metro Phoenix area is all about. Lest you come with the wrong idea, here are ten things that you won't find in Phoenix.

1 - Potholes
Our roads are in great condition in the greater Phoenix area. Highways are constantly being built and improved to meet the demands of an ever-growing population. Rubberized asphalt has made travel on many of our highways quieter and even smoother than before. So you won't find that your car needs an alignment every time you go out for a drive.
2 - Historic Landmarks
The greater Phoenix area is relatively new. You won't find historic battlegrounds here like you find at Gettysburg, or in the South. You won't find 500-year-old castles here. Some of our homes that are considered historic are only 50 or 60 years old. As a territory, Phoenix didn't become the capitol until 1889, and Arizona became a state in 1912. What you will find here is a great deal of history about our native ancestors.


3 - Taxicabs
Of course there are cab companies here, and you can call dispatch to get one. It just isn't like New York or San Francisco here, where you can walk out into the street in the business district and hail a cab. Also, remember that although there is a city center in Phoenix, it is rather small compared to other major U.S. cities, and both our business and leisure activities are spread out around about 9,000 square miles. Rent a car. Cabs get pretty expensive here.



4 - Walking Downtown
Well, yes, of course you can walk downtown, and there are organizations forever working on making downtown Phoenix an attraction. There are definitely downtown destinations: the Herberger Theatre, Symphony Hall, a Phoenix Suns Game at the US Airways Center, an Arizona Diamondbacks game at Chase Field, the Arizona Science Center, festivals at Heritage Square, the Arizona Center and more. But it isn't a walking place. It's more of a go-park-do-leave sort of place. This isn't only in downtown Phoenix, by the way. Except for a couple of ArtWalks and the zoos and gardens, this is just not a walking town. It's too spread out.

5 - Skyscrapers
You will not be impressed by the skyscrapers as you fly in over downtown Phoenix. The tallest building here is 40 stories tall. Downtown Phoenix is in the flight path for Sky Harbor International Airport. As a matter of fact, Sky Harbor is only five minutes from downtown Phoenix, which makes it much more convenient than some major cities that have airports an hour or more away. Other cities and towns in the Greater Phoenix area don't allow tall buildings either.
Cheap Hotels and Cowboys? Nope.
6 - Haute Couture
High fashion is not a prevalent here as it is in some other major cities in the U.S. As far as higher end clothing is concerned, you're more likely to find places like Sak's, Chico's or Ann Taylor.

7 - The Beach
Yes, we are landlocked. No beach here. This is a real issue for those who move here from the East Coast, and for people from California who miss the sound of the crashing waves and the sea breezes. The good news is that it could be worse. We can get to the ocean by car in less than a day. Head to Rocky Point in Mexico, or over to San Diego. As a matter of fact, so many Arizonans visit San Diego to enjoy the ocean environment that they have a name for us--Zonies.

The moniker "Zonie" is generally used with what I call loving disdain, like how we call our winter visitors "snowbirds."
8 - Rusty Vehicles
Because the humidity is relatively low in the desert, and we don't salt our roads in the winter, our cars and SUVs hold up pretty well. You will rarely see a rusty vehicle here. It is common for car collectors to store their vintage and valuable vehicles in the desert's drier climate.

9 - Cowboys, Sawdust, Horses
All right, I lied. Yes, you can find all three of these here, but it's not like there are cowboys everywhere, and hitching posts at the local Nordstrom. Some of the restaurants have sawdust on the floor, but this isn't Wyatt Earp's wild west anymore. Citizens don't generally walk around with guns in their holster (even though it is legal to do so). Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the country, and it acts like a major metropolitan city. That quaint western town image is long gone.

10 - Cheap Winter Rates
There are few bargains in the greater Phoenix area, and high season runs from September/October through April/May. That about covers everything that isn't hot. It isn't unusual to find hotel rooms in the hundreds of dollars per night, and, depending on what kind of special events are going on, finding a room in a nice neighborhood for less than $100 per night can sometimes be difficult. If you are coming in January or February, let's hope you are traveling on an expense account."
