Heavy snow in Prescott, AZ-Very Cool - 12/31/10 09:53 PM
Many did we get a strong storm roll through here in the past few days.  The storm dropped between 6 and 14 inches in Prescott AZ within a day and a half.  The snow has stopped and the skys are clear but the cold front is still here which means very cold temperatures.  It only got  to 22 degrees F today.

TODAY IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHY PRESCOTT IS KNOWN AS "ARIZONA'S CHRISTMAS CITY" - 12/23/10 12:58 PM
Yes, this is a great time of year to be in Prescott.  We just recieved about two inches of snow and our mountains are white.  The entire town is lit up with Christmas decorations.  There are several Christmas events going on every day. Check out  http://www.cityofprescott.net/ for local events
Despite the fact that we got snow, it's pleasant to be outside.  I went for a bike ride this morning.  The air is cool but very crisp.  Come visit and soon you'll want to live here.  At least you'll be aware of a Realtor that loves this time of year.

Arcosanti- An Urban Laboratory Just 35 Miles From Prescott - 12/17/10 06:56 PM
I visited Arcosanti which is just 35 miles east of Prescott AZ and I was amazed.  This is trully one of the best examples I can think of for future urban planning.  Arcosanti was started in 1970.  It's ideas and principles were way ahead of its time.  Now, when the nation is actually considering things like planning green and low environmental impact structures, Arcosanti makes more sense than ever.  Arcosante demonstrates how 5000 people would be able to live in harmony with minimal impact upon the eaith.  When complete, its structures will only occupy 25 acres!  Go vosit and be amazed.
