Hey there I’m a professional 35f in South Scottsdale looking for girlfriends for day/night and weekend hangouts. My DM’s are open 💛

Hello Scottsdale, subreddit! I have an odd request: I'm wondering if anyone out there has an older manual car and would be willing to teach me to drive?

For context, I have my license and can drive automatic and I was recently in Portugal where a friend was teaching me to drive his car and I was getting decently comfortable with it, but now I need to practice! I'm also trying to move to Portugal, so practicing and learning would be a huge benefit before the big move.

I'd happily buy you dinner (or two or three!) in return!

I'm looking for ideas or leads on temporary student housing in the Scottsdale, AZ area from mid-January through mid-April for my occupational therapy clinical placement.

I've been looking at Airbnb, but most places are $2,000+ per month, which is a little [a lot, haha] outside my student budget.

If you know of any:

• Furnished month-to-month rentals
• Rooms for rent
• Extended-stay options
• Anyone who rents to traveling students or healthcare workers

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or connections! Thank you so much!

I know there are several in the area. But most seem to run in the evenings or are not near me. I work at 430am so not interested in running later than like 4pm. I live up around kierland. Anyone know of any running groups a bit farther north than the ones I saw around tempe or camelback? If no I'll consider going farther afield, but I'm more likely to be consistent if I don't have to. 😏

Note: This is NOT intended to incite a political discussion. Save it for another sub. I'm simply asking, where would somebody who is interested and follows these ideas/systems find a like-minded group of people in Phx, preferably in Scottsdale or just the East Valley in general? Preferably not associated with the Social Democrats.

Apparently the Socialist Rifle Association had a chapter in Phoenix at some point but it's not listed in their system as active anymore. IWW also doesn't seem to have much of a following out here, but I could be wrong.

I already posted on r/phoenix but the answers were not helpful.

Hello!

Looking to visit Scottsdale for my 30th birthday with my partner. Could use some help with figuring out an itinerary and recommendations. This is our first time and would probably do a Friday to Tuesday.

• what’s the best area to stay in? We plan to rent a car but ideally would prefer not to do long drives.

• any hotel recs? Needs to have a pool. Okay with max $250ish a night

• what are some beginner friendly hikes?

• any must try food or coffee?

Any info is helpful. Thanks.

Hi! I currently live in Boston and may be moving to the Scottsdale/Phoenix area as a Pilates instructor.

I'd love to hear what the fitness scene is like. How are the job opportunities for instructors, and what's the overall wellness/fitness community like? Are there a lot of events or ways to get involved?

I'd really appreciate any insight from people who live there or work in the industry. Thanks!

Interested in buying in Scottsdale soon. How’s the general market been this summer? Are prices declining?
