@Cody Barna It's a no brainer for restaurants, since Yuma have a great diversity of cultures which drives so many different styles of food!

I was only 17 so...celebrating my newly-acquired driver's license and shopping for prom dresses.

The Arizona Republic recently covered ASU's economic forecast for the state.These Cliff Notes (below) support what I've shared when speaking to investor groups outside of Arizona:Arizona's economy is strong and growth will continue, but at a slower rateOur population will grow by about 300 people a day (110,000 during the year)Our economy is diverse and no longer dependent on 1 or 2 industriesUnemployment remains lowHere is an excerpt from the Arizona Republic article, written by Rachel Leingang:"Arizona's economy is still growing, but growth likely will be slower in 2020 than in the previous two years, an annual economic forecast from Arizona State University predicted Wednesday.Arizona likely will continue attracting new residents at one of the highest rates in the country next year, though that could be a smaller total number amount than in 2018 and 2019.And the state should remain among the leading growth states in the country, according to the forecast by Lee McPheters, an economics professor at ASU and director of the JPMorgan Chase Economic Outlook Center.Many signs are positive for Arizona: Unemployment remains low.

I like to have diversity when it comes to friends.

Very encouraging to see so many diverse and talented engineers in this thread!
