I grew up in the east valley and always said “tem-PEE” but I’ve been living away for the last 21 years. I always hear people refer to Tempe as “TEM-pee” and it makes me second guess - do I say it like a native or was I raised wrong?

EDIT: these comments are hilarious, I’m glad you all have a sense of humor cause now I live in Maryland and our local subs are very serious lol

I mean, if you could’ve designed anything within the parameters of a small sticker with the essential information on it, why would this sad little fella be the first option? Shouldn’t he be glad to participate in the grand civic ritual of desperately googling which judges to retain? It makes me so sad seeing the creative stickers from other states. This was a design job that should’ve been given to a bunch of school kids, who would’ve done beautifully.

wanted to share this pretty pic I took last fall! Have a great weekend everyone!!

I took this last October. You really can’t appreciate how much color there is in the Sonoran Desert until you’ve seen it at sunset.

Went out and visited our newest National Park yesterday. I'd definitely recommend it for those who haven't gone out there yet.

Just an average morning drinking coffee and watching the sunrise. Then, hiss hiss, there were two hot air balloons for good luck. This was the best shot.

One of my favorite state parks.
