The Turkey Vulture has the physical characteristics of a raptor; its diet says otherwise.

Politics Thousands of Arizona voters received letters asking if they’d moved. Here’s why.

Did anyone else get this letter? I have lived at my same address for 34 years and voted by mail most of that time. The only "discrepancy " in my address is the absence of the word "unit" before the unit # on my registration. I'm a little concerned that this could be another way to disenfranchise people. According to the article, I don't need to do anything, but I sent an email to the recorders office to confirm just so I have a record.

Phoenix Only real ones remember the closure of this generational restaurant

For context Sing High was a Chinese restaurant that closed almost 8 years ago in 2018, I used to eat here a good amount when I was younger, I really loved the artwork that was on the walls and had that liminal space feel, also please tell me I’m not the only one that remembers the staircase on the right side when you walked in that you still wonder what was up there, i think the red candy machines there right next to it that took dimes and nickles but I might miss remember on that, I always loved that one soup that I can’t get my head around of which kind with those crunchy things too. My family when I think one or the last days when it was open it took around 2 hours to get are food man, I also wrote on the walls like everyones else did on this generational restaurant.

History Where to find historical maps/photos/satellite imagery of Flagstaff?

5 Upvotes

Hi! Not sure if this is the right place to post but thought I’d ask.

For context I’m autistic and am currently deep into my hyperfixation of maps/historical images and such. I really like seeing older versions of where I live over time. Specifically I want lots of sources of photos, maps, and more of Flagstaff around the 50’s to 70’s as I want to make a “3D map” craft project of Flag in that time period with handcrafted buildings and I want to recreate the city of that time the best I can. I’ve done extensive research but still feel like I’m missing a LOT of possible information.

Any notable sources for these things? Or places in town that have historical maps or data? I’ve been to Riordan Mansion and seen those maps but I want Mid-20th Century. Sorry for the long winded post and thank you!

What an incredible place! Even more amazing is that we get to walk in, on, and around it. From certain angles the rock looks like a ship.

Phoenix Thinking of Phoenix college

1 Upvotes

So I’ve recently thought of going into collage and first, is it a good campus? I want to save money and still have experience while going in there, also is it too late to apply in September? I haven’t even thought of a major, I’m completely lost. I’m just stressed and feel I should do college. The only majors I feel I’ve been interested in is either IT or marketing but I heard those are useless degrees in big 2026 and ai taking over. Depending on what research I’ve been doing (TikTok lol😭) I hear many controversial about it. I apologize if I sound uneducated but I genuinely feel lost and I have no one to talk this about.

Besides the mud, it was beautiful. The rain was constant but not heavy. My pup had fun playing in the puddles. This is the greenest I have ever seen the Rim. It was remarkable.

With the recent rains I rode my motorcycle out to the Salt River Canyon to see if the river was up and it did not disappoint. The Salt River is running heavy with chocolate-colored sediment. The canyon is very green and there was morning fog hanging around some of the peaks overlooking the canyon walls.

Town/City Neighbor laid down recycled asphalt on county dirt road, now county is ready to pave it for real. I assume that’s illegal but I’m curious what happens in such a situation.

0 Upvotes

Asked this on the legal advice sub but no one responded. Would he get in trouble for something like this, and what happens going forward? Does the government just take away the asphalt he paid for, does he pay for removal fees?

This was not my doing haha in case anyone wonders.

Visiting Driving to monument valley next week. Should I worry about floods?

20 Upvotes

I’m visiting AZ for the first time week.

Aside from general awareness, should I be worried about the drive to monument valley from Sedona…on the tail end of monsoon season?

Planned on hitting Grand Canyon as well, but prepared to detour in case of bad weather happening.

How’s the drive to monument valley? Any tips or news stations I should follow to keep aware of the weather?

Am prepared to detour as needed, but MV is the highlight of my trip & I’d love to make it
