I spent half my life there. So depressing, except when finally getting out into the natural desert.
- Bartweiss 9y ago"Equally beige" seems harsh of the writer. Phoenix is one of my least-favorite cities, but the Sonoran Desert is absolutely beautiful and far from bland. As you say, the only highlight of Phoenix for me was getting out of it.
- spraak 9y agoI agree, the Sonoran Desert is so refreshing, and I hadn't actually caught that they'd said it was equally beige.
- jff 9y agoIt's funny they pejoratively described the housing developments as beige, when all the pictures of Arcosanti are... beige concrete.
