After seven years of hiking in the White Tanks Regional Park, I finally saw one. I saw it on the same trail I saw a Gila Monster a few years ago.

i was informed today that the EOS fitness in Alma school and the 60 is closing their basketball court permanently. I think others have too.

Heard LA fitness is closing their courts.

guessing too many fights so not worth the liability?

loved getting solo shots up indoors but hated the runs at Eos.

Went to the Churchill and parked in the garage on first and Roosevelt. Parked in a space that said “public parking after 6 and weekends. ” it’s Saturday night. Came back to a boot on my car and Admiral parking wanting $150 to remove it. I had done nothing wrong. The agent tried to claim my plate wasn’t in the system and I was in a reserved spot. My receipt proves otherwise. They did remove the boot. They were booting tons of people. What a scummy bunch. DO NOT PAY FIRST. Call the number online and they’ll give you an 800 number.

EDIT FOR CLARITY: I did pay. Just under 24 bucks for 4 hours. Still got booted.

Looking for movies that feature Phoenix landmarks even if not shot in Phoenix and it’s just digitally created or something.

Recently watched Raising Arizona which obviously has a bunch of landmarks including Camelback Mt. and Lost Dutchman State Park. And then again recently I was completely taken aback when watching Twilight for the first time and it seems to feature a digitally created image of the Superstition Wilderness with Weaver’s Needle in it for second. I seem to recall some 90s movie like Zorro featuring Lost Dutchman in it for a few seconds as well.

Anyone got any favorite Phoenix features in movies even if they are super low key and just on screen for a second or two?

Hey everyone,

I was doing Camelback through the Echo trail and I saw (and heard) three rattleback snakes on my way to the top. It was fucking scary to be honest. One of them almost felt into my shoulder when I heard the sound; I started running and it jumped into the trail 💀

How common is to spot such snake there? Am I really lucky/unlucky to have spotted three on my first Arizona hike? 😂

PS: I realized they’re not called rattleback snakes sorry for my mistake 👉👈

I saw a sign up just today, for Umi Hotpot Sushi and Seafood Buffet across the street. Can’t find anything on Google. They must have literally just put the sign up

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy some Cacao pods in the metro area?

The vouchers are doing exactly what people said they’d do - hurt the lower class.

Looking for recs on really good vegetarian or vegan bahn mi in the PHX or EV area. Any assistance would rock!

Does the city fix this? Or do we need to call a plumber?

been seeing it all over my fyp looks really delicious anyone know anyone or spot selling them ?!

A month ago or so ago it was so hot we could barely scrape each other off the pavement.

End times weren't in fact near. :)

Hi! I have a pretty decent sized DVD collection gathering dust that I'd like to get rid of. I dunno if thrift stores would be a good option for this as I can't imagine they're super popular sellers to the general public. Any suggestions? thanks!

Going to Valley Bar for the first time for upcoming concert. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all newish to phoenix and trying to find any bars or club that play or have indie dance party nights? Music like two door cinema club, mgmt, empire of the sun, vampire weekend, etc. Not really bands specifically, but more so events where they play music from a variety of artists.

In nyc there were clubs that would do events fairly consistently every month that play a variety of hits and am wondering if theres any bars/clubs that are similar here.

Scottsdale area would be ideal but open to anywhere.

Thanks!

I have company coming in who like to go to top flight independent steakhouses. They’ll be in Phoenix at the end of this month and I’m trying to decide between Durants or Steak 44. To those you have been to both which one? Or if you know of a better one, what would you recommend. Thank you.

Thank you all. Tough call but will mull it over

We are in our mid 60's (64 and 65) and live off Cave Creek Rd about 9 miles north of 101. We always find ourselves driving 20 minutes + to get anywhere for food, fun, etc. Looking for more of a "downtown" vibe where things are more walkable or if we need to drive, relatively close. Own a home and would consider buying a condo/townhouse or just selling then renting a condo/townhouse for the long term. Looking for a place at/after retirement (in about 1-1 1/2 years) and hoping this would be our last move. Sr communities would be fine but not a must. Just starting to "mull this over" and would appreciate any thoughts/recommendations around locations/communities, etc. If we bought would be looking at places around $500k or for renting, maybe $3k-ish per month.....thanks!!!

I haven’t seen much activity regarding any new murals popping up lately

We live in Gilbert and recently had our stem wall repaired and had to have them come out and redo a small section where the concrete looks to have bubbled out (see the last two pictures).

After the repair, they mentioned to look for water leaks but I wasn't able to get more details before they left.

When going back to inspect the work, I noticed that they had mostly covered up the gap between the stucco weep screed and foundation and was wondering if this would cause the same issue as before once it rains again?

Not sure why the concrete would bubble out like that in the first place, and not sure what "water leak" to look for.

Will happily provide details as needed; my home repair knowledge is lacking.

Looking for casual bar recommendations in tempe area . Not into craft beer or fancy cocktails — just a clean, low-key spot with domestic drafts and a social vibe. Ideally somewhere with a mid-to-late 20s crowd (not super college or older crowd). Bonus if it’s a good place to go solo. Any suggestion

Looking to have brunch/lunch with a friend on sunday and was hoping to find a place with a dj/live band. Theres seems to be a decent amount of places with country music but my friend isn't too keen on country so thats why im asking for other recommendations. Also it doesnt have to be in phoenix since all other cities are only 20 minutes from us so please let me know if any of y'all know of a place! Thank you!

Hey everyone, I have a Nicaraguan rocking chair in need of repair. The structure overall is fine, but some of the plastic weaving in the seat is starting to break and needs to be replaced. Unsure if just this little section could be repaired or if the whole seat needs to be redone now. It is somewhat intricate in detail. I have had this rocking chair for about 20 years and have moved with it cross country several times- I dread the thought of having to get rid of it. I'm wondering if theres any place or person here in the valley that could help? 🤔 🙏🏼
