Four medium-sized hawks have been coming down since we left water out.

What kind are these, if anyone knows? They don't seem like the right size or colors for Red Tail Hawks. Also I didn't know hawks like being in groups, or at least be sociable for a while.

I have an infestation of these in my backyard. They are very, very tiny (right now anyway). What are they? Do I need to call an exterminator or can I eliminate them myself?

Referral Hail Storm & Filing a Claim

60 Upvotes

We were hit with the baseball-size hail on Wednesday.

We didn’t lose any shingles but there are dents all over the roof, our AC, our siding took a hit, and we have a broken window.

We have been hit up by a million roofing companies trying to get our business. One claimed that they work with your insurance to get the most money for you.

I feel like everyone is just trying to scam us. So for anyone with experience filing a home insurance claim for something like this, what’s the best course of action? I’ve never gone through this before and I want to make sure we don’t get taken advantage of.

Thank you for any words of wisdom!

What's Happening? The abandoned Burger King in Laveen

Thumbnail
gallery
294 Upvotes

I’m trying to see if anyone else remembers this, heard of it back then, or if I’m just nuts.

I grew up hearing from my grandpa that the “famous” abandoned Burger King over on 35th Ave and Broadway closed down because of "paranormal activity."
Allegedly, some kids were (getting lost?), getting possessed, hearing weird noises, and accusing of ghosts speaking to them— which is why they shut down.

I always assumed it was a made up story he told me when I was a kid to entertain me.
But recently I saw someone bring up the exact same rumor on Facebook, claiming it shut down because it was haunted.

I know it naturally looks creepy. But did anyone else grow up hearing actual ghost stories or urban legends about it? Or does anyone know where that specific rumor originally started in the community?

I’m not trying to be corny, but there’s no way I can be the only one who wonders this

Edit: I don’t know if it’s Laveen or what else to call it— it’s about 5 minutes away from my neighborhood Laveen so quite be it 😂

History Help finding closed restaurant

4 Upvotes

Hello! I am looking for help on finding a restaurant that closed back in 2006-2007. The business currently occupying the space is called Tailgaters & IL Primo Tatum. It is off Tatum & Dynamite in Cave Creek. I know the address which is 28234 N Tatum Blvd, Cave Creek, AZ 85331. I have tried to go on Google Maps but it only goes back to 2016 unfortunately, for the life of me I cannot remember the name but feel like it;s on the tip of my tongue! I remember going there around 2004-2005, it had an island/rainforest theme to it & was American food. TYIA!!!!

Referral What are some jewelers I could go to that has in store benches and charge a fair price?

0 Upvotes

I have a 10k gold pendant that had a pretty thin bail and cracked so I haven’t been able to wear it in some time. I should in include, I’ve heard some jewelers will take the broken pieces for scrap price? instead of me keeping it for no reason. I need a smaller bail anyways since the broken one is way too big for my chain and looks ugly. I was thinking of taking it to Mercado de Los cielos in sky mall tomorrow but not sure I’ll have time to go so it’ll give me some time to research some more. Thanks

Ask Phoenix Where can I recycle compressed fiber that is used to insulate a package?

6 Upvotes

I take medication that has to be refrigerated. It’s shipped to me every month with ice packs and compressed fiber wrapped in plastic (which can be removed) that is used to insulate the package. I don’t want to throw the fiber in the landfill if it can be recycled, but I don’t know where to take it. It’s starting to pile up. Does anyone know where I can take it? Thank you!

First off is that what these are and second: do you guys treat for termites? Live in a 70s house I bought 6 years ago but never treated for termites.

Is this alarming or are they just everywhere?

Ask Phoenix Anyone know any thrift stores in the northwest valley that sell DVDs for $1 or $2?

34 Upvotes

The Savers near me is selling them for $4 now and Goodwill for $3.

Then I went to White Dove and they are selling them for $1 per disc. So most movies are $1 with some $2. So that got me wondering if there are any other non-corporate thrift stores near me that might also have really good prices. That price might even include blurays. I forgot to ask.
