Cities like to make up their own municipal mottoes, like tony Scottsdale, which calls itself: “The West’s Most Western Town.”
Sure.
We decided to take 10 Phoenix suburbs and give them more realistic monikers. Here we go:
10. Apache Junction: “Arizona’s largest trailer park.”

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
9. Mesa: “We just say we’re from Phoenix.”
8. Paradise Valley: “Rich people live here.”
7. Glendale: “We don’t have our act together.”
6. Peoria: “Hey, at least it ain’t Glendale.”
5. Scottsdale: “Park your BMW between the other two.”
4. Tempe: “The temporary home of thousands of blackout-drunk college students.”
3. Buckeye: “The beginning of the end of civilization.”
2. Gilbert: ” Mormon capital.”
1. Sun City/Sun City West: “Old people live here.”
