--Americana! Historic Route 66 runs through the middle of town.Which means cute little cafes, classic cars, and toooo many people using "get your kicks" as a tagline (it's in your head now...sorry.)
--Science! The Lowell Observatory (which we promptly joined, 'cause the cosmos is cool), home to The Discovery Channel Telescope, is where Pluto was identified. They definitely sell t-shirts that say "When I was your age, Pluto was a planet" in the gift shop. AND Flagstaff was named the first International Dark-Sky City after developing codes to minimize light, maximizing awesome night sky views.
--More Science! There's a string of volcanos in our backyard. Cool!

| Robinson Crater, one of the lesser volcanos in the San Francisco range. |
--Entertainment! The scene in Forrest Gump where he steps in dog crap and coins the phrase "shit happens?" Filmed in Flagstaff.
--Tradition! On New Year's Eve, kiss your sweetie and make a wish as the Weatherford Hotel drops a huge metal pinecone to ring in the new year.
In conclusion, now you have (some?) power--use it wisely.
