Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
In the summer it is way too fucking hot. (I did spend christmas there once and that was nice)
It is too far from the ocean.
Sedona has too many hippies running trinket shops selling meditation crystals and new age looking crap made in Taiwan.
Vegas isn't there. What is the point of being that fucking hot in the summer if you aren't Vegas?
And there isn't any good skiing there. You have to travel to New Mexico or Colorado or Utah or Cali for that.
Fuck Arizona.

I remember going down for many a Spring Training in Peoria with my Dad watching Ken Griffey Jr on crisp early spring afternoons.
I want 110 degree summers with NO rain. That sounds amazing.
Sugar Beach it's where its at
The park is designed by Claude Cormier Architectes Paysagistes Inc. It features a sandy beach with ornamental lighting, umbrellas, Muskoka chairs, rocky amphitheatre and candy trim, and pedestrian areas paved with granite setts in three colours arranged in a stylized maple leaf motif.
Since 2011, the beach has been the setting for the Toronto Port Authority's Sail-In Cinema event, with an inflatable movie screen mounted on a custom-built barge approximately 50 metres south of the beach.[4]

History[edit source]
The park is triangular-shaped and built next to Redpath Sugar's refinery at Lower Jarvis Street and Queen's Quay—the park's name references the nearby sugar refinery. It shares space with the new home of Corus Entertainment on Corus Quay (formerly Jarvis Street Slip). The building and beach are separated by a paved area with benches and trees in Silva Cells, and Corus Quay has large retractable doors that allow the building to host concerts and events at Sugar Beach. Prior to construction, the entire site was a parking lot for the Jarvis Street Slip and located across from The Guvernment night club.[5]

Love the Eastern Caribbean, very laid back.
The only time I didn't get laid in AZ was when I had a two-hour layover at Sky Harbor Int'l airport.
It's like fishing with dynamite down there.
