What's Silicon Slopes?

Richie Alan Naggar author PEARLS FOR THE SOUL.com Books on That's the plan; thanks for being the first to notice this post.

Sara Brosier There's a great co-sponsership of organizations that has been producing the compelling information that has allowed many outsiders to discover this place.

Julie Morales the word has been getting out, at first slowly, but now it's becoming known among tech groups that have 1) sought to cut costs of operating in expensive cities and 2) find highly qualified employees and 3) rub shoulders with those who offer complimentary services.

Julie Morales It's so nice when someone else shares in the same dream for me. Yes, I do wanna be the relocator's first choice- and I definitely know who to refer people too in Katy (this from a three-times-previously Texan).

Nicole Doty - Gilbert Real Estate Expert I know, right?

I used to live near Austin. It was a charming college town with good live music and more hills than other Texas destinations. Now, well... it has become so popular. They're doing their best to try to fight the loss of identity- or maintain it but it's not easy. I hardly recognized the place the last time I visited. My how it has grown.

This area on the other hand has lots of open spaces still; to put it in perspective- the population of the Silicon Slopes area is roughtly equivalent to the city of Phoenix. Yet it stretches across a path that is just over an hour's drive from north to south.

Oddly enough- if feels like your town (my old stomping grounds) but with taller hills and lower temperatures. I know a few people who winter there and summer here. It's a pretty cool plan.

Sid Wilson I'm impressed by this group. And they are quite astute- within minutes of my post I received a very nice thank you from them. Obviously they know social media.

James Dray it is such a great place to visit.

Silicon Slopes is becoming larger in scope and purpose every year.
