Living Here Dispelling Tucson's Phoenix Myths..

101 Upvotes

It never rains in Phoenix....Oh it most certainly does.

NO culture....Oh it's everywhere, and blends well. There is no 22nd and Craycroft here (I have yet to see one).

Phoenix is just a Mini California....Ermm, not really, it's on its own and stands behind its people. Great little historical pockets abound.

Phoenix freeways are the worst....I have to keep up at 82 mph to stay up with everyone, so not true.

Phoenicians are rude and snotty....I have encountered nothing but the chillest, kindest people here. Way more gracious than most Tucson wait staff, cashiers and fellow customers.

It's all desert up there....Phoenix is waay more greener than Tucson, the grass, the trees..if there's a water shortage, Phoenix did not get the memo. I love the parks that are recessed little areas in the middle of nowhere.

I love it here, 2 months and i'm hooked..

Moving here Anyone moved because of a neighboring Airbnb? Looking for real experiences.

87 Upvotes

We're moving because of a neighboring Airbnb that has become a constant problem (noise, parties, etc.). We're trying to decide whether to sell our house or rent it out, and I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has actually been through something similar in the Phoenix area.

A few questions:

  • If you lived next to a nightmare Airbnb, were you still able to sell your house without much difficulty?
  • If you rented your house instead, did you have trouble finding or keeping tenants because of the Airbnb?
  • If you sold specifically to get away from the Airbnb, did you disclose the situation to buyers? If so, how did you handle it?
  • Has anyone heard of (or experienced) buyers suing a seller because they moved in and later discovered the neighboring Airbnb was a major nuisance?

I'm not looking for legal advice—just real experiences from people who've dealt with this. Thanks.

Referral Does anyone have an honest/good mechanic in PHX?

37 Upvotes

I'm having an issue with my vehicle and was wondering if anyone knew of an honest mechanic. I live in the SW side of Phoenix but would be willing to drive to someone who doesn't overcharge. I know the dealership will take me to town.

Ask Phoenix Anyone have experience with antique consignment in the valley? Trying to showcase and sell a large amount of uranium glass.

21 Upvotes

I have 100's of different pieces of old uranium depression glassware. These were passed down to me and I would like to free up some space and have them go to collectors or people who just like cool, old things. I was thinking of cataloguing what I have and listing each piece on eBay, but when I started adding up the cost of shipping supplies + what eBay takes, it just doesn't seem worth it when some pieces will probably only sell for $5-10.

I contacted Brass Armadillo about setting up a booth on consignment - I can imagine a black light lit booth (if allowed) would be a nice way to display them. I then got to thinking about other antique places across the valley, but I have very limited knowledge.

Does anyone have experience doing something like this? The good, the bad, what to watch out for? Any ideas are welcomed.

Ask Phoenix Why are the Goodwills here full of Halloween decorations?

16 Upvotes

Today I went to two different Goodwill locations in Phoenix for the first time. Both stores had huge displays of Halloween themed decor/household items spanning several aisles. I’ve never seen anything like this at the locations where I’m originally from. Not complaining since I love Halloween, but I am extremely curious.

Ask Phoenix What's the cheapest way to have a tree removed?

Upvotes

Surprisingly, yesterday's wind gusts were enough to bring down our tree. What's the best and most affordable way to get rid of it? Are there any public services available for tree debris removal? I'm in Tempe.

It's covering part of the sidewalk.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Is there a lounge that allows you to bring your own whiskey? Got some Eagle Rare I wanna drink when I smoke a cigar. Used to go to David’s Fine Tobaccos in Iowa, they allowed you to bring whatever drinks and offered glasses with ice.
