best 25 minutes I've spent in months. I went to school here and learned more in this talk than in all that time. Phoenix was heavily Democratic?! Who knew!? I got a taste of Phoenix as Shangri-La in the early 60s as a wee child.... Baseline Japanese flower gardens, orange and pecan tree, flood irrigation. Orange blossom fragrance. Indelible. Thank you.

I enjoyed this information and Phoenix has sure grown a lot since I was a little kid! I remember going to Union Hills use to feel like a long haul back then in the 80s and 90s.
