Previously, we’ve visited Scottsdale in this blog, but we have some new items to share and some new perspectives. Scottsdale really is a state of mind, like being in Boca Raton or Palm Springs.

On a recent visit, we saw the epitomy of Scottsdale: an obviously well-to-do 30s-ish shopper in a trendy grocery on her cell phone the entire time we were there, discussing a friend’s dating woes while she put things in her cart. The items in that grocery weren’t the typical things you’d find in a Safeway or more “ordinary” grocery store and price was obviously no object.

Another Scottsdale scene involved about five young women, outside a bridal shop. They were very energetically discussing how the bride-to-be looked in the dress she had chosen.
