Hello everyone, I need wool for a beadwork project and I'm not sure where to find it. Thanks so much for any suggestion! If no one sells wool is anyone willing to barter rings or beadwork for some wool?

A casual chat for anything on your mind relating to Flagstaff or northern Arizona. Try a new place? Find a new job? Play a new game? Whatever you've got going on, share it here.

This is also the place for questions about Flagstaff. Moving here, visiting, asking for recommendations, any other common subjects, or anything not interesting enough for a full post go right here.

Any question you have for the locals, ask away!

Was walking through Coconino Estates last night and two cars (one small SUV, one flatbed pickup) sped past and blew through a stop sign. They appeared to be chasing each other.

They then looped around and took the corner quick towards Marshall School around 9:15.

Did anybody else hear the squealing tires or engines revving. Was quite a sight, but a little scary!

Any good shops that can repair a sliver necklace that split into two pieces? Thank you

TLDR: What's the deal with High Country Humane and the County Humane Society?

Flagstaff resident, volunteer at one of the above, which I'll keep to myself to avoid any potential outing.

I'm curious to know what the history is between the Humane Society and HCH. Clearly, the County was using the Humane Society to handle pets/adoptions, etc., in the past, then HCH started up and the Humane Society was on the curb.

I try not to dig into this with the people I volunteer with, as I have no idea of what their position is or if it matters. I'm just curious as to if there is a backstory here, since a lot of prominent folks in town seem to be backing HCH and the Humane Society seems to have been left behind.

I'm also surprised at how many animal rescues there are around here. I used to work with a number of them in a large metropolitan area, and there wasn't anywhere near as many rescue groups in an area with population far larger than Flagstaff's.

Thanks for any information, from either side!

Thinking of switching from AT&T.

2:45PM today. Took this while stopped at a red light. No one else on scene but this officer.

I'm doing a run tomorrow that starts at fac east and ends in ponderosa trails, part of the run goes down old walnut canyon Rd and into passage 31 through walnut canyon. According to all trails I need a park pass to access the area.

Do I need one if I'm just passing through? It's only 15 bucks so worst case I buy one just in case

Why did it land there? Was it the wind? It is a little helicopter, and I wouldn’t want to be flying around in this wind in it.

Anyone local doing knife sharpening and you've had a good experience with them? Would prefer to support local versus shipping them off if possible.

I know Optimum and CenturyLink are the only cable Internet providers in town but Verizon offers 5g home Internet which is cheaper than what I was paying Optimum, and faster than what Optimum was actually providing. I have had Verizon for my cellphone for years and they have never raised my bill so I am hopeful for the home Internet service as well.

I just figured I would make this post because Optimum sucks and when I called them to cancel they thought they had a monopoly here in Flag.

Does anyone know what happened at Flagstaff high school. My kids are freaking out that a teacher passed away.

Is absolutely incredible.

Hands down the only thing comparable to Tres Amigos.

The Pastor is so fuckin good and the Horchata is phenomenal.

Cash only, definitely not the fastest line, but holy shit it’s worth it

Getting ready to start riding again soon, mainly road biking short distances around town but would be nice to have something I could also do some mild off-roading/trail riding with as well, if that's possible.

As with any hobby, I want to approach this carefully, and in doing so, will be searching for a solid used bike as well as someone who can maintain it and provide guidance/advice. Looking on places like Yelp and others I see plenty of bike places, but few, if any, I've looked at say anything about used bikes.

Unfortunately I've had a few too many sketchy encounters on the trails as of late, and as a woman, I'd like to learn how to protect myself better should it come to it. I always carry pepper gel and a knife, when I'm running, bear spray when I'm hiking, but I would like to feel like I have more self protection tools under my belt.

Does anyone here have any ideas for a series of classes or the sort where I can learn something like this? I can't necessarily afford (money or time wise) to commit to something like Krav Maga.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you all might have!

Took these pictures of the Peaks and Snowbowl in the late 1980s when I was working in the area. February of 1989, I think.

Enjoy!

Arizona may have flipped back to red in the 2024 election, but Flagstaff and Coconino County stayed blue, despite what other short sighted people might've prematurely posted.

Got a notice on my car this morning warning me not to park on the street from nov 1st to April 1st from midnight to 7am.

Thing is, I wasn't parked on the street, but up on the gravel off the street. Is that just a friendly reminder of it or was it a warning that I'll get a ticket/tow if they find it again?

Apartment I live in has next to no parking at all (just one spot per resident) and any additional parking is left up to finding places along the street/in gravel (no paved sidewalks) or tempting a nearby parking lol and hoping you don't get towed.

My thinking is so long as I'm not on the asphalt it should be fine, but hoping more tenured residents will know for sure.

Ugh, so sad to hear another favorite restaurant in town is closing :( Hankerin’ was a favorite spot of ours with affordable, yet quality food. Their chili cheese fries were my favorite indulgent comfort food. So so sad. I wish I could go during their final days, but alas I’m out of town. Go grab one last meal at Hankerin’ for me this weekend!

Hey y’all!! Loving this snow so much but it doesn’t seem to be enough for me to hit observatory mesa (where I typically cross country ski). Anyone know of a cool place at higher elevation to get some cross country skiing in? I know Nordic center but I’m looking more for a free experience since I own my own gear. I’m out in Cheshire but don’t mind driving somewhere :)
