Who knows anything about Tucson, AZ?

[Hollywade]

In about three weeks, I will be moving from Michigan to Tucson for a new job. Since I've spent a grand total of six hours of my entire life in the city, I could use a little help. I would appreciate some feedback on any or all of the following questions:

1) What are some good neighborhoods to live in? What do nice one bedroom apartments go for down there? I don't think I would want to live too close to the university, because I assume the cost of living is jacked up there, plus I know how college kids act at any time on any day of the week.

2) What are some good bars/hangouts? (I'm 24 and usually like the college kid/early 20s crowd, but also occasionally enjoy older crowds at bars)

3) I've heard there are two casinos in the area. What are they like? Are there poker rooms, and if so, how good are they?

4) What are the best restaurants (besides the obvious chain restaurants)?

5) I love to play golf, and I am excited about finally getting the chance to play in November - February. What are some of the best courses, and what can I expect to pay to play 18 holes on them? If not the absolute best courses, which ones are the best value?

6) If there is anything else that you think would be helpful/interesting to me, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for the help. I greatly appreciate it.
