Flagstaff is very friendly and not hot. I would say the weather is like CO. My daughter went to college there.

When we moved to AZ that was our first choice, just couldn't find a job there.

Yeah when I was planning retirement, we tried to find a place near Flagstaff but price and covenants were not workable. So we ended up near Prescott National forest instead.
As for Missouri, I have lots of cousins in Cuba/Bourbon/Sullivan area and spent some summer weeks there. Uncle had a fish farm and fishing was basically non-stop. Those were memorable weeks I look back on fondly. Only visited St Louis and was never there long enough to have any issues I remember but that was in the 60s and early 70s.

We went all over that town as kids. We'd take the bus down town, go to Cardinal games etc totally unsupervised. We roamed forest Park all summer. Got mugged there while fishing. Got arrested for swimming in the fountain. Our playground included the Art Museum and the Arch. We skinny dipped in the Missouri river. We used to hang out in the Chase Park Plaza hotel begging autographs from the base ball players that stayed there. Now days our parents would be arrested for child abuse. We survived.

we mostly spent our days in forest park or tower grove park, so lovely , we love to roller blade, skateboard attend all the festivals, little to no traffic
go down to the cabins near ha ha tonka state park for summer vacation

and when it does snow we loved going to art hill to sled down!

its a nice place most underrated city in the usa, where else can you say the musumes and zoos are FREE ALL the time for kids. and adults to enjoy no where.

It gets hot here in Nor Cal but nothing like Arizona. Once the bake is on there it just keeps rolling. At least we cool down in the evenings a bit typically.
I've seen enough deserts to last me two lifetimes however. The same with hurricanes/typhoons.

Sacramento, got to love it, 2 hrs for surfing in one direction, 2 hrs for snow in the other, and tomatoes everywhere else

Parents took me on vacation up passed Taos on the Red River in New Mexico, it was nice up there. There is a ski resort and trout fishing in the river. I have no idea about the prices, that was over half a century ago however.
