Observations on Phoenix's Scene

[We_ArE_VeNOM]

Chandler is a decent place. It's a bit too suburban for my taste.

I barely spent any time in Chandler when I lived there.

I'm with you, bro.

West Phoenix was my spot, and I loved it because I dig the rough and gritty vibe and atmosphere.

But, Chandler has since grew on me.

However, I'm thinking of, at LEAST once a month, renting a car and room..and kicking it on my off days on that side of the valley.

It has much to offer in terms of day game (for what I like)...and a sharp contrast to the East side.

That's a good way of capturing how I felt at the time.

I have an example.

Many years ago in Phoenix, there was a nightclub called Hurricane Bay. It was located at 43rd Avenue and Bell Road.

It had enough of an audience to keep it open for over a decade until it closed in 2013. I recall a time or two in the mid-2000s thinking about whether or not I should check the place out. I never did because I didn't think it was worth my time to check out something in the West Valley scene.

The West valley just doesn't get a good rep lol.

The West valley just doesn't get a good rep lol.

It hasn't had one for a long time.

When Maryvale first got constructed in the late 1950s/early 1960s, it was considered nice. It lost that reputation within 20 years. By the early 1980s, it turned into a not-so-nice spot.

Desert Sky Mall would be an option for meeting Latinas out there. I never did it. I could imagine someone very much into Latinas approaching Latinas there.

The Northwest Valley is a hotspot for 55+ retirees with the Sun Cities and other retirement communities. If a man was 55+ and looking for 55+ women, he could seduce out there. There are mainly long time married retirees out there, but there are widowed women and divorcees too. Retirement communities in Florida and Arizona are known for having active sexual scenes. People didn't expect this when it was mainly the GI Generation and Silent Generations who were the main residents but it happened even then. Starting around 2010, Baby Boomers became the majority of 55+ communities and Boomers had more divorces in life. Today, the 55+ community is still majority Boomer and now early Generation X.

There isn't much going on in the northern parts of Glendale (think like Thunderbird Rd and north) and Peoria. It's mainly 1960s-1980s housing stock up until Bell Rd. It gets newer north of that. The best that a man could do in most of those neighborhoods is a single mom. More single moms would be divorced and somewhat more upscale single moms, but still single moms. The only exception up in that area would be the Arizona State's West campus. ASU West has some younger women around there but it has never been close to as exciting as ASU in Tempe.
