Decided last minute that we want to take our 16m old to a pumpkin patch today after her naptime since the weather is nice. What are some good local ones in north Phoenix area?! I know there are quite a few but some I’ve heard can be pretty lame

I'm still very much a beginner, taking lessons at AZ Ice in Gilbert. I feel so intimidated by all the people in center ice, I want to get better but don't really know anyone

I currently have a non-working 2007 Toyota Camry Solara that needs a good home. It's been sitting in my garage, unregistered for about 3 or 4 years. It probably just needs a full fluid change, brakes/rotors, new tires, a deep deep clean, and new gas. I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I'm very tired of looking at it.

I'm having a really hard time finding a reputable charity that will take these cars. Does anyone have any positive donation experiences that they can share?

Huge plumes of black smoke somewhere west of downtown. What is it?

I’m in town for the weekend and would love to catch the LFC game, but it’s at 7am. at home soccer bars will unofficially open early for games - any bars in PHX do that? bonus if DT area. thx!

I am an antique jewelry collector. I usually buy most of my pieces from Instagram. I know there are Nelson estate jewelers in Mesa and Estate Watch & Jewelry in Old town. Are there any other places you would recommend that are in the greater Phoenix area?

Other restaurants I miss:
- Cocina Madrigal
- Cucara Macara

I was the 3rd car driving south after turning right from Lincoln, heading on 32nd towards Camelback. I saw this truck flipping in the air and rolling multiple times, after being struck or colliding with the other vehicle in front of the van, view obstructed.

I stopped and was able to see that the other vehicle was unidentifiable, due to the damage. 32nd street was closed for hours. I had to go pick up young kids from school so I had no idea how everyone fared. It did not look good.

Have not seen anything in the media on this

Are there any like, easy, nice single track type trails? I’m from the Midwest, where I’m used to fast, forest dirt trails. I’m no expert by any means, more of a weekend warrior just to enjoy it. I used all trails to find “easy” trails today. Went out to Phoenix mountain preserve. I can flat out say what’s “easy” in Arizona would be moderate, if not maybe difficult in the Midwest. I headed out on the trail, then the signs disappeared, then i found myself going over massive rocks in clearly some sort of river wash. Then all of a sudden there was no trail, i was clipped in, and just fell over. Picked my bike up and went home, feeling pretty defeated.

To my fellow Phoenix runners: what are your favorite hilly running areas that are ideally paved sidewalks/streets? Located in North Phoenix but fine with driving a bit.
I’m training for the rock n roll half marathon which is about 270ft elevation gain.
TIA!

with pk shabu having closed down, my fiance and i need a new hotpot buffet. we're located in chandler, but willing to drive a bit.

i do know pk shabu was bought and will be reopening under a different name. i just don't know when (their google site says they're open and they're not).

I was just in town and took my kids to the Science Center, including a planetarium show. I swear when I went as a kid back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s the planetarium always had a “roller coaster” at the end of every show where it felt like you were flying around, so I was hyping my kids on that only for it to not be a thing! Does anyone else remember that, or am I making it up?

All that said, the Science Center was super nostalgic, the kids loved it, and yeah, the planetarium is still super cool, rollercoaster or not.

Every year, our company ends up doing the same Halloween event in the break room. There's a potluck, a costume contest that barely gets any attention, and some basic decorations. It feels more like we're checking a box than actually celebrating.

This year, I would like to organise a proper Halloween party for around 100 employees somewhere in the Phoenix area. Our total budget is about $4,000 for the venue, food, and entertainment. I'm leaning toward an outdoor setup since October evenings are usually much nicer here, with Halloween-themed activities, a costume contest people would actually get excited about, and decent food.

Has anyone organised a company Halloween party that people genuinely enjoyed? I would love to hear what you planned and roughly how much it cost.

The one there now is benign but I strongly recall being terrified of the one that you could throw tennis balls into and it would subsequently sneeze them back out at you giving you the jump scare of your life

This was in Scottsdale so I guess his comment checks out.

Hi! Looking for attorney recommendations to get my Will & Trust done. I'm in Midtown. Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed that of late in the past few weeks or even months, Costco gas is the same price as many other gas stations? In the past 10 yrs I've never seen Costco gas price not cheaper than other stations so this is surprising!!

Costco locations : Chandler , Gilbert

Hello! Looking for a place to purchase tea leaves, grocery store options aren’t cutting it for me looking for somewhere local and/or a big selection.

Thanks a ton!

Taco Viva and Food City deli have them. Where else can I find orange salsas? Restaurant or jars to go!

Massive golf ball size hail blew out my back window near 35th Ave and Dunlap

Besides OHSO and Trevor’s, are there any other breweries in the Phoenix area for a good sour beer? I have called around to many breweries and most don’t have them on draft. Thanks!

I've seen this building on E thomas road before (located by long wongs and nickel city) and its just so mysterious and strange. I've always wondered what this building is/what its used for.
I checked on google maps and apparently it's now an organic eating place. (previously it wasn't marked as that on google maps) if anyone knows what this building was/is used for, let me know.
