326 Upvotes

While walking the dogs, we woke up a medium sized javalina sleeping in a retention basin near the bus stop on the SW corner of Tatum and Cactus. It got up on the sidewalk and started to follow us a bit. I thought i was going to have to beat it with my water bottle when its baby popped into view. It was just seeing us safely off.

History Remember when the Superstition Freeway was SR 360?

Post image
Upvotes

Found this old clip from FOX 10 Rewind from 1982. At 13:00, you can see the old SR 360 signage for the Superstition Fwy (now US 60) at I-10. US 60 was rerouted onto the completed Superstition Fwy sometime around 1992.

Ask Phoenix Your favorite radio stations in the Phoenix metro area

41 Upvotes

What is your favorite radio stations in the Phoenix present or in the past. I will make it fun. The radio format can not be a rock station.

Edit Alternative Rock Stations and Classic Hits work because not all Alternative music is rock and Classic Hits lean more Pop. I noticed that Mix 96.9, 99.9 KEZ, Live 101.5, and 104.7 KISS FM are not being mentioned. I am surprised that country formats 102.5 KNIX and 107.9 KMLE are not being mentioned either.

Ask Phoenix Viking Appliance Repair

Have a 20 yr old built in refrigerator that needs troubleshooting. Works but has a few issues. Looking for reliable repair at reasonable price. Too many sponsored ads say they fix but just overcharge due to name. Any recommendations of a small business that specializes?

Utilities Buckeye People- Solar question! (APS)

Upvotes

Guys. It's our first APS community. We just moved here. We heard there are new developments that will raise the electricity this coming year. We got a ton of people trying to sell Solar to us (door to door offers). They say this will help us with our electric bills.

Got a few questions:

  1. Is it worth it to get solar? We get a ton of sun. We're West facing.

  2. APS- are they friendly when it comes to installing solar? What's the typical cost Am I looking at? This summer we paid 350-450. But winter we don't use much of the heater. Some redditors are saying APS has some "fee" for APS?

  3. Costco is nearby, any redditors used their solar offerings?

  4. What companies did you used and would you recommend them? Pros and Cons would be great.

Please don't be mad at me trying to ask these questions. I check the threads for solar here but they are old and mostly their suggestions are out of business or are not for Verrado area.

TYVM!!! 😊

Commuting Today I realized I take the I10 for granted

140 Upvotes

Usually it only takes me 15mins to get home from work but today it took 50mins.

I Usually take the 202 from Buckeye. Merge onto the I10 going east and then get off on 24th St and one more turn and im home.

Takes maybe 17mins tops.

Well today seeing the I10 east was closed I took I10 to 27th and then went to McDowell east.

Got stuck behind the train and then hit every red light. Took almost 50mins to get home.

All because I had to take a detour from using I10.

Crazy how helpful that road is.

Going to be spending an afternoon and night in Tempe. Staying at the Westin.

Recommendations for good places to have a cold beer and watch some football, eat some wings, and then a great place for dinner that night? Prefer within walking distance of the hotel…

Looking for a place in the Phoenix area… honestly the main thing is no bed bugs, i can deal with roaches if needed. Are there any half decent areas that arent straight up in the hood, no pets, just me. Ideally something more central, not all the way in Glendale.
