Explore This! Tempe, Arizona
This week’s tour takes us to the home of my newest literary crush, Atticus, and his Irish wolfhound, Oberon (I may have an even bigger crush on the dog; what a wit!). These, of course, are the main characters of Kevin Hearne’s The Iron Druid Chronicles, of which I’m currently reading the second book in the series, Hexed
When I think of Arizona, I always think of Phoenix or Scottsdale and the accompanying images of whitewashed buildings, arid desert landscapes, and golf. With all the crazy happenings in Atticus’ life, I thought it was time to see what Tempe looked like…and here it is:
So, what do you all think? Is this worthy of a visit? How many of you that have read Kevin Hearne’s books pictured the city looking like this? I’ve heard that Arizona is a great place to live because of the dry heat, especially for those suffering from ailments like arthritis. I think it looks just beautiful, either way!

Would love to visit Arizona someday!
@Estella – Yes! I think I've only scratched the surface here…
See. See. You are tormenting me again Jackie. ;D This looks like a lovely place. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
The problem with Tempe is that it's hot! Right now it's probably 105 or 110 degrees F at least, and it will be that hot right through September. It's a great place to be in the winter though.
@Melissa – hehe, it's my life mission to tease you about these books, which hopefully will arrive soon for you 🙂
@JenM – But, it's a 'dry heat' *G* I know everybody says that but today in Toronto, it was the equivalent of 102F with the humidity…it was just yucky. But I imagine sitting at Rula Bula with a cold one would help in Tempe 😉
Beautiful place 😉 I'd love to visit someday…
I always wonder how the residents feel about their place while they live there 😉 since, from the outside, it looks like a wonderful tourist spot..
Well, thanks Jackie! 🙂 I'll keep an eye out. And have to say your tormenting is always fun. 🙂 And great books too.
@Melissa – 🙂
@Ju – That's a great question! We never seem to be tourist-y in our own towns, so I can see how they would look more attractive to non-residents.
/me nods sagely, pretending to be the brilliant philosopher 😉
@Ju – Thanks again for your sage-y-ness 😉
