Take Texas for example, most would say that they are a bunch of hick gay hating Christians buts its just not true. It depends on where you go and most importantly the person you are talking to. You like small city's/towns. If their is one place every one should go before they die its sedona Arizona. Its a AMAZING mystical place.

I wasn't trying to imply putting everyone in a state in a category, but where I live it seems it's seems it's hard to meet new and interesting people. It's a really small town with limited outlets to meet others who are different and with different thoughts about life. I wanted to know if there are a lot of unique and interesting outlets to attend with interesting people to be a part of more interesting lifestyles.

Are people there generally openly and/or strongly "interested" in other people to form friendships?
Is it easy to make friends here? A Yes i think so its very easy to meet people that share the same interests as you and are as passionate in the same thing you are
Are people there generally tolerant of interests that may be different from what they are used to? majority yes/ many people are friends with different ecinomcal religious and political veiws
Are there a lot of "INTERESTING" things to do there? Are the people there "Interesting" do you think? depends on what your in to phx and tucson are both major college towns so there are alot of clubs and night life, for me i do alot of out doors activity like atv, hiking camping and shooting
People get bored in every state, but do people who live there get really bored more often compared to other places? im sure their are a few but in my experience i moved from az for work in 08 and mobing back in 2013...alot of my friends from cali and going to be moving to az for the better activities and less uppity people
Are people who live here generally intelligent? And what percent do you think compared to other states? most people over 25 are pretty decent and can articulate their ideas when in a discussion
Do people in Arizona like people from any of the upper mid-west states? How do they view them? Is there hostility, a likeness, or mostly neutral? i havent seen any hostility's towards people from the mid west the only hostility i see is toward anti gun folk that move to az, we are a very pro gun state
I would like to know anything else important about living/moving to Arizona also
has some really good laws that acctualy work pretty well cost of living is cheap and the laws are pretty nonrestrictive yet crime is punished harshly , and yes our politicians some times look out there but thats because they arnt afraid of the main stream we do what out state wants our republicans are more libertarian then most places to me Arizona is one of the last free states left
My experience growing up in az for 23 years moved out for work and now bringing 4-6 of my friends back to az

Non frizzy hair -- pretty happy with that statement
One thing I am afraid of is that I am going to get sick of looking at rocks and sand every day with almost no green forests etc.
But that's similar to getting sick of looking at trees everyday in the upper-midwest so I suppose it's just something that can't be helped
I want to eat cake now because of your avatar, btw
You should take a look at Flagstaff. I have property in this are and I can tell you it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever lived. The town is surrounded by national forest, it has a college so the average age is low, cool night life. tons of healthy, outdoor activities, artsy downtown area, a ski resort! and only an hour or so from the Grand Canyon and Sedona, and Jerome, also a very low crime rate. And it's not far from this;

I agree, I think you would like the Flagstaff, Prescott, and Sedona areas best. Of those three, Sedona is BY FAR the most expensive but also the prettiest. They all three are partly to very wooded. Flagstaff is at the same elevation as Colorado Springs, so if you go there, expect snow and cold winters. Prescott and Sedona get some snow, in the winter, but are much milder and at a much lower elevation. They "have seasons" unlike the Valley of the sun.
We live in Phoenix and travel up North to these towns over long weekends, frequently. Flagstaff is a college town, all three have hiking, nearby lakes, indian ruins (cliff dwellings and so on) interesting people, art galleries, lots of community events like art fairs and musical events, etc. Someone else mentioned this - we have fantastic food here! And I mean restaurants you don't need a reservation to go to, just really great food. Once you pick a town, let me know and I'll recommend some specific restaurants.
