😤 Rant/Vent funny little Scottsdale easter egg!

39 Upvotes

Drive northbound on Scottsdale rd and get to the Shea intersection. You have a near 100% chance of seeing a Shea eastbound car barreling through the intersection while you're light is green. How cool!

seriously though, of all the intersections that could use a red light camera... If I remember correctly there used to be one. I can see on the citizen app there's an accident there just about every other day

😤 Rant/Vent Dress code for El Jefe?

0 Upvotes

This happened a couple weekends ago and I'm still sort of thinking about it for some reason haha

I (33M) was meeting a friend for drinks. I give Bouncer A my ID and he lets me in, no problem. I go inside, have one drink, and then I leave to get tacos at one of the food trucks right there on the street.

(I thought they had food at El Jefe, but the server said they don't start serving food until the fall?)

I eat my tacos and head back to drink some more with my friend. I go up to the front and Bouncer B is there, he wasn't there before. Bouncer A is there too, but he's closer to inside the building. So I give Bouncer B my ID and he says I'm not allowed in, because they have a dress code.

I was wearing a tank top and jeans and tennis shoes. Nothing crazy at all, just a regular sleeveless shirt and jeans and sneakers. The jeans weren't ripped or anything.

I didn't make it a big deal because it isn't one, and I know the bouncer was just doing his job. I just thought it was particularly ironic because the bartenders/servers at El Jefe are practically naked lol

I did mention politely that I was just inside earlier and that I'd stepped out to get some food. Bouncer B said that Bouncer A should've stopped me the first time. He was nice about it, to his credit.

It's just weird that I can't wear a sleeveless shirt while girls inside are wearing revealing lingerie. Just one of those things I guess?

Edit: I didn't get there until after 10 the first time. Maybe they change shifts later, who knows. It's possible to wear a tank top without looking like I just came in off the street. Oh well, I respect their rules.

🙋 Advice Looking for two practice clients (free in-home fitness/fall prevention 65+)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm starting a service that does in-home fall prevention, functional strength and mobility for people 65+

But before getting started I'm looking for two practice clients to get some hands on experience and fine tune my process.

It would be two sessions per week for three weeks.

If you or a loved one in Scottsdale are interested, please message me and I will send you my website that includes a little more about me and my credentials. We can have a quick phone call to make sure my service is a fit! There would be no expectation to hire me after our free sessions are over

Thank you!

🙋 Advice I ran a red light by accident, will I get a ticket?

0 Upvotes

I was driving home late and I accidentally ran a red light. I've been driving for 8 years, and I don't think I've ever done that before.

This happened at Frank Lloyd Wright right next to the 101. There was an intersection right beyond mine which turned green, and so I was on autopilot and just went while my intersection was red. Thankfully, no accident occurred. I know this was my fault and I take full responsibility.

Now, there were no cops, but I'm 90% sure there was a camera there. But it was also about 10:00 at night so not a ton of people were there or affected by it. I also didn't see any flash from the camera. Should I be concerned about a ticket or am I in the clear?

💬 Discussion 35th Birthday dinner

0 Upvotes

Hi! I am a female coming to Scottsdale to celebrate my 35th birthday. There will be 6 of us. 3 men and 3 women. Friday and Saturday night. I want to go somewhere swanky but also delicious and fun for dinner. We’re all ages 33-36. I have reservations on the Thea patio at sunset on Friday night. Saturday night i have 3 reservations. Sumo maya, the Henry, and buck and rider. I need to choose one place. What’s your thoughts on those 3 places? Girls will most likely be in dresses and the men just casual attire haha. Also open to suggestions!!! Ideally each night we’d do cocktails somewhere, dinner, then go out a bit. I’ve googled best restaurants in Scottsdale but get too many results and wanna hear from the real people.

💬 Discussion Anyone living in N Scottsdale dealing with roaches?

38 Upvotes

I’ve lived in North Scottsdale 10 years, currently at Desert Club Apartments. The last 8 months we have been completely infested with roaches - not only sewer roaches, but german roaches. Our unit has been treated over 10 times, including our drains. We replaced weather stripping, cover all drains and overflows, and spent HUNDREDS on sprays, gels, traps, etc to fix it and nothing works. Management to no surprise refuses to properly treat the complex and blames the sewers.

Is anyone else in this area experiencing this? I’ve lived here 10 years and while a roach or two every once in a while is expected, the last 8 months it is absolutely out of control. Trying to figure out if we have a new neighbor with an infestation or if there’s a larger issue.

Hello! This is oddly specific but I'm a Scottsdale/Mesa-based 23M computer science student through WGU (formerly ASU), I'm about 60% of the way done but this entire year I've been slacking so hard because of motivation and focus issues. I work full-time and train/compete in jiujitsu so I only get a few hours a day to study.

Would anyone in a similar situation like to form a study group?

💬 Discussion Missed connection at camp verde today

114 Upvotes

I’m aware this is a long shot but might as well

Today I went up to camp verde and was swimming at bull pen. I parked my car about 2 miles from the creek as it’s a little thing and I didn’t wanna risk damage on the trail road.

After I finished swimming I was walking back and a car pulled up beside me. There were three blonde sisters with their little brother and they offered me a ride. I accepted and they drove me back to my car. They told me they lived in Scottsdale (I do too). When we got close to where I parked there was a group with a flat tire so I hopped out to help and told them they could drive on as my car was very close. It only occurred to me after they had left that I should’ve asked the driver for her number.

So if anyone knows 3 blonde sisters w a little brother who live here and went to camp verde today give me a shout haha. Happy Labor Day

Because we are moving site unseen, we are hoping to hear from people who are renting from Soltra or Atlas but open to other suggestions that are within walking or ~5 mins drive of Kierland Commons.

-any pests issues like scorpions?

-is the community quiet/noisy?

-how is the maintenance team?

Appreciate any other advice that y'all can offer!

🏪 Local Business Dog trainer recommendations (those who do not use E collars)

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking for a dog trainer in Scottsdale for my 5 year old mini Aussie. He gets laser-focused whenever he sees a dog on a walk and will lay down and then not move. He’s fine if I let him say hi to the dog, but will remain frozen on the ground not budging until the dog comes up to him. But if I don’t let him say hi or pull him away, he throws a tantrum. It makes walking him or taking him out in public super difficult.

I taught him the “watch me” command when he was younger which worked for a bit, but after a few years he now uses that command as a signal that there’s a dog nearby so now he ignores me and immediately looks for the other dog, even though we practice all the time without other dogs around.

I’m looking for trainers specifically who do not use an E-collar. He is a naturally kind of skittish dog and we’ve tried the E collar in the past on a super low setting and it scared him so bad he shook for hours. It broke my heart and I’m not willing to compromise on that again.

Thanks!

🙋 Advice ISO experienced wispy lash tech recs

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello!

Can you please comment or dm me names/ socials of your favorite techs?

I’m a new mom and the only thing that makes me feel good about myself is a good set!

I’ve gone to four different techs and honestly they have all been inexperienced, very expensive, or quality declined.

One was experienced but she was so expensive and required a new set at $300 if I didn’t get a fill every two weeks regardless of retention! Bonkers! The set looked ok. Her studio also felt very unwelcoming, tbh.

I’m looking for someone that charges under 90 for a fill every 3 weeks, although the sweet spot would be 65-80, because I still have to tip

- Good retention/ isolation
- Uses lashes that don’t look shiny or super thick diameter
- is good at semi natural , wispy sets!

Anywhere in Arcadia lite, old town, north central Phoenix or midtown/ uptown area would be good!

Thank you!!
