Another thing is that it’s not just Chicago but many people who dislike winter from the cold regions of the Mid West move to Arizona I notice. Arizona seems like a popular choice for migration. Like in the Phoenix area.
Phoenix is not for everybody. It gets extremely hot 4 months out of the year, up to 110 degree on the avg. You cannot step foot outside in the heat. If you leave your vehicle out in the sun, and you need to get in, the surface of the seat will seem almost like a frying pan to the touch.
Solution? Air-Conditioning! But, it does take time to cool down.
Other than that, no winter. Strikingly beautiful nature in the places outside the valley of Phoenix. The sunsets are really colorful and picturesque, and that's not something I've seen anywhere else. It's a dry area so you won't get much green scenery, but cactus and green patches of plants that can survive the environment. There are man planted trees and shrubs all around the valley, and they water them under the ground to keep them alive in such extreme heat conditions.
For those on the East coast or Midwest, definately visit the SouthWest if interested in breathtaking scenery. I think the SouthWest is where they get all the cool picture and scenery for films. I think it's for those MidWestern nature people.
Personally, I think people that come from foreign countries should visit this area. This is not something they will see in their countries. It's probably a great place to take up photography!
Sunsets actually does look like this
You won't see stuff like this anywhere else.
