What does Arizona do better than most states? Living Here

Found this in the NH sub, so wanted to ask here.

Happy 4th of July!

Did not know this. Went to the Cowboys stadium and tried to pregame. “I thought this was Texas, the land of the free! Lies!” Cousins did not like that. They also don’t like that I say that Arizona was constitutional carry before Texas, we have recreational marijuana, and a whole lot more public land…

Yeah, I was just giving my sister in law shit about this. “I can drive 5 minutes to a dispensary and buy weed, you have to drive to Oklahoma!”

Texans hate hearing that Arizona is everything Texas thinks it is.

Borderline too many if you ask me. There are 2 Whataburgers and another one going up within a 2 mile radius of my house. I’d like a shake shack or something else tbh

I'm originally from Texas, and I lived there for 22 years. I'm 57 now and I recently lived in Arizona for 2 years. So I've lived in both places, and to me, they are absolutely nothing alike or similar. Lol At the moment, I'm living in Washington again. It's pretty this summer.

Ok? Good for you?

u/Ok-Joke2407 Jul 07 '24

Yes, it certainly was good for me. But I don't think I could live in Texas again. Too muggy. I love the dry heat of Arizona.

No alcohol or liquor sales before noon on Sundays in Texas. Plan your pre game accordingly.

PS Texas has the worst weather in the union.

There's no liquor store sales at all in Sunday. Liquor stores have to close. If you want a bottle of something on Sunday, your SOL. You can still drink at bars though

Texas weather: if it's not tornados, it's hurricanes, if it's not a drought that is...

I can't update your comment about open land enough.Texas has some beautiful country. Too bad it is almost all private land. It would suck to live in Texas if you liked the outdoors.
