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?

Artificial Turf Power Broom/Sweeper recommendations

Looking for recommendations on either power brooms something like the link or there are a few that resemble a mower.

Prefer electric than dealing with 2 stroke engines but nothing I’ve found appears to have consistent reviews.

Need something to just get the dog poop out and help keep it cleaner throughout the year.

Not letting me link but looking at some trying called turfmatic 600

Abandoned cars outside of neighborhood?

Outside of the HOA neighborhood there are many abandoned cars near Maricopa Institute. I understand the surrounding areas is industrial and still developing but I’m wondering why this is the spot for people to abandon their cars. Sometimes they even have shattered windows.

Calisthenics groups, gyms, or trainers in the midtown area?

I’ve dabbled in calisthenics over the years, but I’m wanting to get more into it and be around people that I could learn from. Does anyone know of anyone who specializes in this or any groups or group workouts focusing on calisthenics?

Waste Management Open + Visitor Megathread

We have a lot of people visiting the Phoenix area for the Waste Management Open, so have created a thread for questions, ideas, connections, and everything else.

This subreddit is primarily for locals so we limit new posts about visiting. We encourage visitors to look at some of our past posts and search the subs for great ideas in the Valley:

This is a pre-game thread, and we will probably refresh it when the Open is about to start.

Arizona Athletic Park formerly Bell Bank Park, wtf on charging for tickets to watch your own kids play?

So there is a lacrosse tournament out in Mesa at Arizona Athletic Park formerly Bell Bank Park, it is $2400/team to play in, which is on par for any Adrenaline tournament nationwide even the one last month at the Polo fields in Palm Springs Ca. This venue though then charges $5/ car to park and $15/person per day to enter the facility, prohibits outside food or drink even though we are there for almost 6 hours again typical. So for a family of 4 to go cheer on our oldest we are out another $130+ meals if needed. Likely with 8 divisions and 8-10 teams per, 1500-1600 athletes plus families in attendance. Thats criminal.

If you are a local event manager or Athletic director boycott this BS there are plenty of great facilities that don’t gouge your families on the back end after your kids are already paying hundreds in admission to play.

Google Fiber in Mesa

This is a follow-up to a post I just saw about it from like a year ago.

Anyway, I moved back out here to Mesa about a month ago, and I walked down Horne between University Drive and Main Street and noticed that they were installing Google Fiber down that way. I have checked to see if I have coverage where I live and it says I don't. Does anyone at all know when it will be available on University Drive, west of Stapley Drive?

When’s the last time your windshield froze over

It’s just me or is it getting hotter here- quickly. My car only had condensation once this winter and that was last week, next week we have a high of 80. I remember a couple times as a child (I’m a big kid now, 24) it actually snowed in phoenix, even though it melted once it hit the ground. So is it just me or is it heating up here in Phoenix quickly….

Emilio's Tacos & Hot Dogs on 19th Ave & Thunderbird: What Happened?

Went to Emilio's and realized it had been turned into a different restaurant, even though the Emilio's sign is still outside and most of the inside is still the same. Tried the food but I wouldn't try it again. Does anyone know what happened? Did they sell the business or just move?
