As lush as it sounds, there are no oases rummaging around the hills in this town just beside Scottsdale. Rather, there are a series of ponds and small man-made lakes which are quite lovely, of course, but any images the name may conjure up is merely a mirage.

Off to a rocky start, but what a comprehensive sign.	Okay, with a view like this at the town limits, I can forgive a little rough terrain near a sign.	Note the city's seal on their street signs. Since towns run together, a unique sign seal is vital, I'd argue.
Not so much a fountain as a man- made pond, but take what you can get.	I suspect they need to reclaim more waste water; things are looking a bit grim for the lawn.	Every few blocks, the name of the neighborhood changes... it's all about location, I'm guessing.
