We used to go to the Scottsdale Culinary Festival every year, and enjoyed it, despite the fact that it was sprinkled with the usual Tommy Bahama midlife-crisis snobs.
We obviously missed it this year since we no longer live in Scottsdale, and after looking at some video clips and photo galleries of this year's event, I'm glad we didn't make it. It appears to have turned into yet another scummy college overgrown-frat-boy scene complete with plastic bimbos who actually think they're hot (I guess they are "hot" by lowly Scottsdale standards).
It truly amazes me that a city that touts itself as "affluent" has really turned, 100%, into a wannabe college town. Now that it's failed to be a wannabe LA, is that all it has left to aspire to?
The funny part in all this is how much I'd love to see those "hot" Scottsdale girls come here to Newport Beach. It would be a shock to them to go from getting their asses kissed by all those loser Scottsdale guys to relying on a "battery operated boyfriend" for love. Because trust me, they wouldn't get the time of day from men around here.
What would be even funnier, though, would be seeing those loser Scottsdale guys trying to meet women in Newport. Now that would be DAMN hilarous!!!
Not everybody in Scottsdale is a loser, but I agree there are a lot. I work really hard for my money and frankly don't care much for the "scene". Just makin an honest living and loving life regardless of location. Peace. JP

I grew up in California and lived in Phoenix for a year in 1999. Even then it was very apparent that Scottsdale/Phoenix is not LA or Orange County by any means! But, I'm moving back to Scottsdale next month and hope that people will appreciate it for it's genuine people and natural beauty, as I think Scottsdale and Phoenix have a lot to offer.
