As with everywhere else, nowadays, Some people are quite passionate about their politics. Most of us agree to disagree, but there are some who, shall we say, are beyond capable of changing their opinion and tolerating those of others.

@azkiltedrealtor 5 ай бұрын

One of my neighbors and close friends happens to be on the opposite end of the political spectrum. We hike, bowl, dine together (and share a few cocktails on occasion), and choose to focus our energy and conversations on the positive. In Prescott, you'll see peaceful protests on the square, pickups flying flags, and the odd distasteful bumper sticker...all-in-all it lives up to its reputation as "Everybody's Hometown."

Though it doesn't address Prescott's water specifically, the following article, published 12/21/23, offers some hope for the lower basin. www.azwater.gov/news/articles/2023-12-21-0 . Locally, there is still confidence in the Big Chino Aquifer, but no doubt there will be long-term challenges, especially if development continues at the current rate. Good news is water conservation has actually improved in the area. I realize this isn't a direct answer to your query, but the complexities of the issue are well beyond my ken... Cheers!

So…I’m just a little confused. Why do people that live or who are associated w Prescott…keep pronouncing this desirable place to live in as “Press-ckitt”?!! Many say it this way. It’s spelled Prescott. I have friends named Scott. I surely don’t call them S-ckitt. Just wondering’…

@azkiltedrealtor 6 ай бұрын

The unique pronunciation seems to have evolved over time, is part of the city's cultural heritage, and has been embraced by the locals. The oft-repeated tale that the Prescott family deliberately changed the pronunciation of the name to distinguish themselves from their overseas relations I find to be a bit far-fetched. Another online commentary points out that Prescott is not the only town/city with an accepted pronunciation that does not adhere to the basic rules - think "Louisville" and "Norfolk." In local speech, the sound is closer to "kuht" than "kitt" - similar to what you might hear in "carrot" or "parrot."

My wife and i want to move there, Do you think there is room for two more people, and two labrador's. 1 is 12 weeks old and the other is 11years old. We don't cause any trouble as we don't get around people no more than we have too. We love Dogs more than people. (No offense)*. 99.9% of the time you can find us at home. In fact you would never know we were there. We went to Arizona last year and fell in love with it. Cut our vacation short to get back to our fur babies. So.. If we could have your blessing and OK on this i would like to go forward on the moving process. I'm hoping 2 more folks from Tennessee wouldn't make a big difference. Thanks.

We will make room for you, your wife...and the labs! Prescott is definitely a dog-friendly town, so you'll fit right in. Dog-walking on Courthouse Plaza is a local pastime. One of my neighbors often compares Prescott to Gatlinburg - especially at night - since it's tucked into a valley between mountain ranges. You can choose your lifestyle here. There is plenty to do if you want to (hiking, kayaking, etc.) or you can just stay at home and enjoy the peace and quiet!

"Preskitt" is a pretty place. However, people who are from large cities such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, etc. will tell you that it has a lower class of people who happen to have made money in their blue collar jobs moved there. We call them locals yokels - not people with class. If you are used to the class and culture of our Southeast Valley, you will visit "Preskitt" and then run back home. Ya Hey Der.
