It's also where lots of big attractions are: Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, sports venues, etc.

Is Arlington like Phoenix in that its one of those cities that if you're not in a specific city in Arizona you're in Phoenix?

Super spread out? I live in Seattle now but growing up in Phoenix there was a single bus with very limited house when I lived in Paradise Valley (Pheonix).
