I can’t decide which name I like better.

I suppose if you’re a tourist with the $$$ to spend $400.00 a night for a (very nice) resort hotel room, then it might be worthwhile (personally I’d rather have a beach nearby).

It does have some good restaurants. That’s about the only reason I go there.

Otherwise it’s noted (locally) for well-off right wing snobs.

Seriously, it’s not a very interesting place. It’s a wealthy suburb of Phoenix with a touristy “old town” downtown and not much else.

And if you live in the area…well I’ve already put my in $.02 on that. :)

For anyone.. I suggest letting someone else do the driving to/from Sky Harbor.

It’s as if they tried to lay this place out as poorly as possible.

Terminal 1, doesn’t exist anymore but they never bothered re-numbering the other terminals.

Terminal 2 is actually about the most convenient (although it’s small and old) but since odds are that you aren’t flying United, Continental or Alaska Airlines. Therefore you won’t be using this terminal.

Terminal 3 is fine, once you get inside it. But getting inside it is a pain. It’s much bigger than 2 but only has a single roadway that’s very crowded. And whomever designed the parking garage should be shot.

Terminal 4 is the newest and the “showplace” and also where you will most likely end up (the two biggest airlines in Phoenix are in this terminal- Southwest and US Airways).

And it does have two level roadways..but they sill are horribly laid out and you can easily miss your turn if you are not paying very good attention (and I live here!).

Once inside terminals 3 and 4, everything is nice, but you have to get inside first….

This is about as good as it gets when it comes to historical places or areas in Phoenix to visit and that’s pretty sad.

Yawn.
