Who do you think has the best italian beef in the Phoenix area?

I think it's between Dazzo's Dog House and Paladino's Italian Eatery. Paladino's Italian Eatery even has Breaded Steak Sandwiches as well. Lukes is great as well, but I prefer going to the original in Tucson when I get the chance

Where is the place to get good fireworks?

I’ve seen plenty of the pop up stands, but is there a spot that locals know about that’s much better than the stands?

What do the numbers mean on your street signs?

Am from the UK, I've searched but there's mixed answers as to what they mean. The most common answer is to do with the address numbers on each block? Also what do the N,S,E,W refer to exactly? Obviously North South East and West but in reference to what? The direction you're facing as you look at the sign? The direction of the street ifi it's one way? Whether it's N,S,E, or W of the centre point?

Your wisdom is much appreciated.

Unusual Amount of Dead Pigeons

In the last week I’ve come across 5 dead pigeons while walking my dog downtown. Is it just a coincidence? Anyone else finding an excessive amount of dead pigeons lately? What gives?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help!

Landscapers that have no clue

Just don’t get why landscapers have no flippin clue how to cut/trim trees and or bushes. They destroy and kill them all. Cutting back or trimming during the wrong time of year or cutting so bad that any possible grow back won’t happen. Why do landlords property management employ people that have no damn idea of what they are doing. And mainly unsupervised just doing whatever the hell they want. Damn a tenant can do better than these people, what a damn joke. They still don’t even know how to change the automatic timed watering system to run in early Morning or late evenings. They have this going off during the hottest times of the day.

Just a rant- but damn tenants would do a better job doing this than them…

Vending Machine Services Recommendations

I’m looking for a vendor recommendation for snacks, possibly drinks, for an office of 40 people. North Phoenix. I’m open to a situation where the vendor fills the machine and makes money on the sales or charges me for use of the machine and I’m responsible for the filling the machine. Had a vendor in years past that loaded expired little Debbie’s snacks and brands no one heard of. That was unacceptable. Looking for name brand snacks. Thanks

Personal Trainer that specializes in working with dancers

Hello hello, after much googling with no luck, I have turned to Reddit.

Does anyone know of any personal trainers in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area who specialize in working with dancers?

I am super familiar with gym workouts, group fitness classes, etc, but as a professional dancer, I need to level up certain aspects of my performance and feel it would be most beneficial to work with a personal trainer!

Thanks in advance!

Any INDOOR parking spots for malls in PHX?

I am so over this heat and I feel bad taking my kid anywhere cause there’s just NOT a place with indoor parking out west. The only mall I can think of is Scottsdale fashion square but that’s so far from me. I’m like 5 mins away from westgate.

Discounted play tickets?

Now that Goldstar is no more (siiiigh) does anyone have suggestions for finding discounted tickets for smaller theater companies?

Gametime and Groupon give some affordable options for bigger productions. (And both are on cash back sites, which is nice.)

But I’m not seeing for all the smaller companies in the area. And since the productions can be really hit or miss, I’m not keen to spend $30 to $40 a ticket.

Recommendation for an good, if not excellent, cheesecake in South Phoenix

Cheesecake factory is a solid cheesecake I'll concede. Not amazing, but good. But they want $70 for 10 inch cheesecake!

I can’t be the only one that thinks traffic lights in Phoenix create 0% traffic flow, right?

I can’t tell you all how many times I’m on a major street, such as 19th ave or 7th ave, sitting at a stop light, and before I even get into second gear, the next light in front of me is turning yellow. What gives?!?

Or how many times at 6:30am, the light I’m Coming up to will turn red when there’s no cross traffic waiting, meaning even on monitored intersections, it still doesn’t seem right

Is it this bad in other cities?

Anyone else sick for 2-3 weeks??

Tested negative for Covid, flu, and strep. Been sick for over two full weeks now. Headache, major fatigue, sore throat, sinuses, even some nausea now (perhaps from the sinus drainage). Some kind of mystery cold or flu…? Totally lost my voice week 1. Been on two antibiotics and still sick. Anyone else??? Is this going around???
