But it's different. The people are not like East coast folks, and the food, well up this way, is just plain terrible. No flavor at all!

I miss the culture, theatre and arts...it just does not exist here.
Sorry to hear that you haven't been satisfied with the offerings of Cave Creek. I grew up near Chicago, and naturally there just isn't as much going on in much-much-smaller Tucson... but I'm never lacking things to do or fantastic places to eat, and I think the people down here are great (almost as friendly as Midwesterners... I spent some time living in Wisconsin too ). Sounds like maybe you should have settled 150 miles to the south.
