Glendale lies less than 10 miles from the state capital, Phoenix, and is home to over 240,000 people.  Glendale residents enjoy access to many antique shops as well as the popular mall, Arrowhead Towne Center.  Glendale also boasts two graduate schools, Midwestern Medical School and the Thunderbird School of Global Management.

Additionally, Glendale offers year-round sporting events.  The NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes and the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals play in the city; Super Bowl 2008 was played in Glendale; and the Chicago White Sox and L.A. Dodgers completed their 2009 spring training in Glendale.  Hopefully, the players did not get too overheated:  Glendale is one of the hottest cities in the U.S., with the average high temperature in July soaring to about 108° Fahrenheit!

Recently, the Maricopa County Superior Court convicted Gary Karpin on theft and fraud charges for falsely holding himself out as an attorney licensed to practice in Arizona.  Although Karpin previously served as a defense attorney and prosecutor in Vermont, in 1993 he was disbarred in Vermont, and he was later disbarred in Maine too.  Karpin had practiced law in Arizona since 1996, and misled the public to think that he was associated with a law firm consisting of several lawyers.  Karpin’s record was discovered, however, when one client became suspicious after his wife and Karpin began dating during the divorce proceedings.  Karpin will serve a prison sentence of six months to a little over 9 years, and he will have to pay his former clients restitution as well.
