The downtown scene has exploded, depending on his age, downtown is this huge hipster scene with really neat bars. Cobra arcade bar to play video games, the vig is a good gastro pub, Angels Trumpet Ale House for the beer lover, monarch theatre and bar smith are night clubs downtown if you are younger and like that scene, bitter & twisted if you like high end, over priced, fantastic crafted cocktails, Crescent Ballroom for live music, FilmBar is a bar showing foreign films or old movies but also a bar.
Then old town Scottsdale is the beautiful people scene, area called the district packed with hot girl after hot girl whos shit don't stink, lol. Or go up north to Jerome and shop and eat in an old mining town, go 30 minutes to Sedona and hike in the red mountains a bit, or 30 minutes the other way to Prescott and enjoy some Meade on whisky row or eat at the Prescott Brewing Company and enjoy a well crafted beer and shop at the unique shops in downtown.
Or go to a casino, talking stick is my favorite, or catch the aquarium, or eat at Midevil Times, or go do some indoor parachuting, all in the same area of Scottsdale.
Really a ton to do and i am just mentioning the tip of the iceberg honesty.
WHy did you move all the way out to Goodyear, that is so far out of town. Was your job out that way?
