Bachelor party things to do?

Going to be staying in Scottsdale April 4-7 for my bachelor party but I don’t mind going to Phoenix for some activities. How is the night life there? I’m interested in hiphop/rnb vibes whether it’s a lounge or club. Strip club recommendations too.

Rabbits at Saguaro Ranch Park

Was out for a picnic today and while we were walking we came across these two bunnies at the Ranch. They were around the peacocks and seemed content. They came out of the bushes nearby and started munching the leaves. I’ve come to this park for years and I’ve never seen rabbits. They look like pets. Someone asked if they were mine while I snapped a pic. Did people abandon them?

Car wash you can share?

I’m looking for a drive through car wash membership that I can share with my girlfriend. Are there any good places that don’t check the plates/car so I can go one day of the week and she can go another day without paying for two memberships?

$10 for a Dozen eggs at Fry's! This is getting out of hand. Where do you go for cheaper options?

We're seeing crazy prices on eggs and other produce

Phoenix - list some cheaper options so we're not wasting our money!

Edit: so this doesn't turn into a political issue. Whether it's h5n1, tarriffs, mega-corps being greedy, etc... Just trying to save some money on basic needs

Good piercers in Phoenix?

Hey so I’m having a piercing emergency (I think my piercing had essentially been covered by skin) but i wanted to get it assessed by a piercer, the person who did mine is closed on Sunday and Monday- does anyone know of any piercing places in the Phoenix area that could assist with an issue like this one? I just need the piercing assessed by someone experienced, thank you!

Local Alternatives to Walmart/Target & Amazon

Hi. I want to reduce buying from these big brand stores, even if it means paying a bit more. While I am aware that it’s unrealistic to stop buying from these places at all, I want to start somewhere. Any $ that doesn’t go to them still counts.

Has anyone ever attempted this while living in Phoenix? If so, can you share tips and local businesses for future reference?

We should make an official list for local businesses in this subreddit (if it doesn’t already exist).

Looking for acid wash - pool polish recommendations

Looking to get my pool polished & acid washed. It is a 15,000 gallon play pool with a 3M quartz type finish similar to pebble tech, that they don’t make anymore. Can anyone recommend a service that does quality work in Phoenix?

High southwest gas bills

I live in a 2 bed apartment in Phoenix and have southwest gas because my water heater is gas. Its the only thing that we have that runs on gas, I was told when I set it up that my bills would be around $10 a month because water heaters use very little, but my bills have all been $40 and up, which seems high even if the whole apartment ran on gas. Anybody with any experience being overcharged or have any insight into why my bills might be so high? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Neighbor's dog constantly whining and howling day and night

For weeks upon weeks now one of the dogs at my apartment complex has been whining and howling every day. Not only is this concerning for the dog's well-being, but it has kept me from sleeping at times (this goes well into the night and into the day).

I am not sure what can be done especially since until recently I couldn't tell which apartment had the dog. Does anyone know who can be contacted to address this? It's definitely a noise concern, possibly a case of animal cruelty? I considered calling property management but they've been pretty useless before.

Edit: I am in the City of Phoenix if that matters.

Looks like winter is officially over. How are we feeling?

This week we’re gonna see 75+ with lows in the 50s. In a few weeks I’m sure we’ll see 80s again. And then 90s in March for sure. Yay!

Got a speeding ticket and have some questions

The ticket has a court date on it, but if I'm not planning on contesting this ticket (which I'm not because it was deserved), is it worth it for me to attend the court date?

Also, I'm wondering if it's worth it to attend traffic school. This is the only traffic ticket I've gotten in my 5+ years of living in Arizona. I got an email like the day after getting the ticket that my car insurance was going up by like $3, which is fine. Is it possible my insurance goes up more, or was that probably it? If my insurance isn't going up any more than that, I'm thinking I don't want to attend the traffic school.

Another question is, if I don't go to the court date, how will I know how much to pay? The amount owed is not showed on the ticket.

I'd also like to know if I can pay the ticket before the court date, or if I have to wait.

I know these questions are dumb and I sound like I child, but I would appreciate any info that could be provided!

Phoenix - Do you know what this is?

My guess it’s a walking lane since 98% of people on a bicycle ride on the sidewalk. Seriously, tired of getting kicked to the curb.

Is there substantial rush hour on the 303?

My apologies for yet another traffic related post. I tried searching, but couldn't find any recent information.

I've worked from home for the last 8 years or so, but am starting a new job where I'll need to commute. I live up in Anthem, and will be commuting to Goodyear (near Van Buren and Litchfield Road. ..far from ideal, I know.)

It looks like my best bet is to take the 303 around, to hopefully minimize any rush hour impact on the already lengthy drive. (I know Google Maps isn't 100% reliable, but it looks like I can just take the 303 right to Van Buren, and then head east on that surface street instead of the 10?)

For anyone else who commutes on the 303 or resides in that area, could you please let me know how substantial (if at all) rush hour is on that stretch of highway?

Thanks!

Heels dance classes in Phoenix?

Hi! I’m searching for a dance studio in Phoenix or the East Valley that has heels classes. I’ve done the Google, yelp, instagram search and found nothing so I figured I’d come ask here. Anyone have any recommendations?
