We'll Always Have Paris (HFF)
Marg and I decided to drop in on Scottsdale and spend a few days watching the SF Giants play a little spring baseball. Politely expressed, Scottsdale is a land of many worlds made up of major league baseball teams, golf courses, glitzy chic malls, gazillions of retirement communities based on movie themes, an endless army of conventioneers continually loading up their plates in hotel buffet lines, plastic surgeons galore, and lots of old dudes with hairy chests sporting sparkling gold chains--did I mention traffic. It often seems like a place that is not quite real, yet it has a distinct hyper reality about it that boggles the mind like one of those troubling dreams that you only vaguely remember and haunts you for weeks. So, if you love golf carts and want to spend your golden years in a perfectly landscaped, fenced, and gated retirement community then take your sticky beak to Scottsdale and have a poke around. Here's looking at you kid.
Happy Fenced and Gated Community Friday (HFGCF) everyone.
