Things to do in Phoenix
Phoenix is Arizona’s capital and the center of a metro area of roughly five million people that fills the Salt River Valley. The economy has moved far beyond its old reliance on cotton, citrus and cattle: semiconductor fabs in north Phoenix and Chandler, the Mayo Clinic and Banner Health, banking and insurance operations, a steady construction boom and Arizona State University in neighboring Tempe all keep executives, engineers and physicians on the move across a valley where meetings can be forty miles apart.
