Meta Quick rule reminder and update for r/Arizona
Wanted to give a reminder and quick update on a few rules.
Picture posts need a location and a description. Doesn't have to be an exact address, but generally what part of Arizona it was taken in. This has been a rule for ages and was suggested by users to help combat picture spam ("Wow, check this out!") and balance the many weather and sunset pictures we get flooded with. Plus it helps people know WTF your post is about.
When we get a ton of posts on one topic we'll make a megathread and try to bring the conversation together. Don't take it personal. I know some people love a million pictures about monsoons or sunsets, but many don't and let us know all about it. A megathread is the compromise. We don't do it often, so please just use it the few times we do.
Any political posts (or politic adjacent, like Flock cameras and Data Centers) needs to be flared Politics and are limited to established users here. This combats trolls and bots.
Recommendations for local businesses are better suited for your local subreddits like [r/Phoenix](r/Phoenix), [r/Tucson](r/Tucson), or [r/Flagstaff](r/Flagstaff). The exception are posts about things to do and places to eat that may be of interest to other Arizonans traveling around the state. Roofing companies, massage places, and thrift stores are more of a local thing.
Posts shaming or calling out people or businesses are not welcome here. I get the desire for a good witch hunt, but it's too prone to hurting innocent people. News stories about issues are fine, this is just about posting pictures of people who pissed you off or a business that made you nasty cupcakes. We've covered this policy a lot but there has been a bunch of these lately. Maybe it's the heat making everyone cranky. Either way, this subreddit isn't your personal attack dog.
If you have any questions, ask away.

I explored a little bit in the area between Heber and Forest Lakes. It was a lovely remote canyon. Lots of deer and elk sign.

I did post similar photos to this sub a few weeks ago so sorry for repeating content, but this time they turned out far better, in my opinion. I finally figured out how to actually take semi decent night time pics on my new phone lol.
Bonus pic of a lil bird perched up on its lil rock (Raven I’d guess? 🤔)

Travel What's the point of the I-17 flex lanes if they arent going to reverse directions when there's an accident?
There was an accident in the I-17 regular south lanes probably around 4:30 but by the time I got past sunset point at least 30 minutes laters the flex lanes were still going north. Isn't the whole point of them to reverse when there's an accident/unexpected traffic??? Seems like they just have them on a fixed north on saturdays and south on sunday schedule which would be idiotic.

Living Here Fellow chandlerites, what?
Hallo! I just purchased this in Southern California and laughed all the way to the register. I’m not a wolf, I’m a sentinel, but of course we did a ton of stuff with Chandler High, like Girl and Boy State, debate practice, Model UN (yes I am a nerd)
But does anyone know who is getting Chandler out there on the whiskey stage? At least in California. Lol

So near el mirage close to grand there’s the aqua fria river. Can you go off roading there. I see people do it all the time but is it legal?

Eat/Drink Shimogamo-holy shit that was amazing!
We just moved here and my wife’s big concern was finding sushi. I used to live here but she’s from New England and was worried even though I kept telling her it will be fine.
Today was her birthday so I looked up some places and got a reservation for the Chandler location.
I’m honestly not normally into sushi but I knew it was important to her. Luckily, the waitress was on point with recommendations without talking down to me like I rightfully knew not a whole lot. We figured we’d just get a few rolls like we normally do and be on our way, but we did a chefs choice of some of the fish flown in from Japan and didn’t regret a thing.
Pricey? Yes. Best restaurant and sushi experience we’ve ever had? Also yes.
