About this title

Synopsis

Many worry that these United States are becoming to much like each other -- but Arizonans know differently. Fun for all ages, this trivia-cum-brag-book highlights and celebrates the Grand Canyon State''s different traditions, fashions, cuisine, and history with humor.

For example, you''ll know you''re in Arizona when...

* you wear a bola tie
* you take a stroll on Ho Hum Way
* the beer is chilled and filled with chili
* it''s 105 degrees and you say "but it''s a dry heat"
* a haboob happens
* petrified doesn''t mean scared
* standin'' on the corner sounds good
