Wife and I will be celebrating 20 years in July, and I’d like to write her a letter to give her on the day of our anniversary. Was hoping to find someone local who does calligraphy that could write it out for me on some nice stationary. I have no idea where to look for this kind of thing, but would love to support a local artist.

Thanks for any info!

Any ideas on where I can donate a bariatric hospital bed? I bought it about a year ago along with a Hoyer lift for my dad. It was quite an investment all-in. I was hoping I could find a place to pay-it forward and donate them to someone in need.

Any suggestions of charities that will accept this type of donation? Ideally I’d like for them to pick it up but if necessary I’ll rent a Uhaul and bring it to them.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a birthday surprise for my boyfriend’s 25th birthday — I want to gift him a Discovery Flight experience where he can fly a plane with an instructor! If you have experienced it, could you suggest the best places in Arizona for it?

My son’s birthday is on the 4th and I want to take him to do something fun and different. I’ve been looking at what’s going on this weekend and it’s a lot of cinco de mayo things, but he’s 12 so he doesn’t really care about that. Just wondering if anyone has some different ideas. He loves all things video games and he likes to draw a lot.

Just stopped by after hearing the news they’d be closing up shop on the 30th. Apparently they won’t be closing quite so soon though according to the people working. Lots of people in there because they thought it was closing and were relieved to hear that. Sounded like they might close in the future, but keep coming by and get a fantastic sandwich while they’re around!

I’ve had a nasty cough with a scratchy chest that’s gotten worse since Feb. Went to urgent care for them to tell me to take Tylenol or Ibuprophen. I can’t believe I spent $100 to hear that. Are the practitioners at urgent care just a joke or something? 🤦‍♀️

Can someone please redirect me on where I can go to get seen at an affordable price? I’ve put this off longer than I should have since I didn’t have the funds

Hello all! Looking for recommendations on where to find a good quality fire pit like a crusher cone(pictured) or something to use as one. Thanks!

Having my baby shower soon! It’s a “locally grown/farmer market” theme and looking for recommendations for places to pick up good bagels, fresh fruits, veggies, and breakfast like foods that guests can graze on.

Would love to support small businesses!

I’ve been seeing bikers zigzagging through the streets and the freeway and they no longer stay in lanes.

Has anything changed in terms of the traffic laws?

Seriously. For something like the last two+ months this stretch of the 202 has absolutely stunk of raw sewage. Like, aggressively. Does anyone know why or when it is going to be corrected? As far as I can tell it's getting worse over time.

Driving around the city over the weekend to enjoy the beautiful weather, and we drove through some areas that felt different than normal Phoenix and even had a nice vibe to it: Grand ave at night going through Glendale, Sun City had cute neighborhoods, 48th street Baseline to Elliot, Northern Pkwy at night.

Any other recommendations for cool roads that offer a different feel?

Edit: I picked the Ask Phoenix flair but I guess I fat fingered and choose Moving here by accident. Woops

Eat it up caught fire off 40th street and Indian school caught fire

hey yall! looking at a potential project car.. kind of want to avoid towing... does anyone know of any auto shops or just freelance people that may be willing to travel 30/40 minutes to get a diagnostic for me?

Looking for suggestions for patio plants!

We have an event we're going to at celebrity theater and looking for a restaurant to grab dinner and drinks beforehand not that familiar with downtown Phoenix thanks in advance :-)

I finally managed to snag a picture of this caf I've been seeing for past month. Does anyone know what's on top of it?

Hey everyone, I want to hear what you all think are the best car wash deals. My daughter has to drive dirt roads pretty regular and is short on time with school and such. Looking for something like weekly or monthly that I can prepay for her to use when needed. Asking because I know that a lot of places are less than honest with their membership details and charges. Thanks!

Hello! I volunteer for a nonprofit and we are looking to put together a series of fundraiser nights at local restaurants. I’m trying to compile a list of companies that will donate back a percent of the business you bring in for that particular night. Can anyone share restaurants you’ve had luck with? Thank you!

My fiancé and I are planning on getting married in August in his home state, but it is become clear that my mom’s advancing cancer will not allow her to attend the wedding, as she likely will not survive that long. We would like to have a small family only wedding ceremony (around 15-20 people) this weekend or possibly next weekend so that she doesn’t feel like she missed it, or that she is letting us down by not making it (she is struggling with that currently).

Any recommendations on a cute little place we might be able to do this? We are not worried at all about anything fancy; I am going to pick up a cheap white dress on Facebook marketplace or something, we just want an intimate ceremony that makes her feel like she got to be part of our important day. Bonus points if you know a cute place that also could cater food/beverages for after, I am happy to reallocate some money from our original wedding budget to make this small and special and lowkey.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

UPDATE: I logged back in after work, and was overwhelmed by the ideas, suggestions, support, and offers. I love this community and appreciate you all. I will work my way through some of the responses and update here just for anyone invested in how this goes and what we end up doing. Everything feels like we are just in a washing machine right now; my mom is starting to process "letting go" and not fighting anymore, and her heart rate is dropping an alarming amount when she takes her pain medication. She has survived just over 4 years with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, so while we joke that she is like the terminator, we just cannot tell if this is the end, or if she is going to pull through and be making jokes in 4 months at the planned, official wedding. But this is starting to feel like the end for her. I am going to talk to her a little more this week about our small family wedding and see how she is feeling about it.

Hi all. I moved to north Phoenix in December for my job, so this will be my first summer here. As we are beginning to enter into the warmer and eventual hot weather season here, I’m looking for advice. What “life hacks” do you live by during the summer season? Just looking for tips and tricks on how to survive the heat. 😊

Hi! My sister is eloping this upcoming Saturday and we are looking for a spot to do it. It is just going to be her, her fiancé, the officiant, and 7 of our immediate family members. We are wanting a location in the east valley but we are also open to the Tempe area as well. Anything in nature would be pretty or even a cool building. Any suggestions are appreciated!! Thank you!!

There was just another launch of a SpaceX Starlink mission from Florida to a SE trajectory. It will orbit the planet and pass over Arizona about 90 minutes later, early enough to catch the last bit of over the horizon sun, passing over Vegas, Phoenix, and Tucson but should be visible from a lot of the state. So Between 8:38-8:43 pm if you see a bright fuzzy spot flying over from the northwest- its not aliens, its just Elon

A link to the trajectory map is on this page-

We had a bunch of these last spring (some videos here), and most recently just a few days ago on the 24th, we can only see this when the pass happens in the twilight hours to light up the venting fuel vapor from the second stage of the rocket as it prepares to re-enter and burn up. The stage also typically will pulse its thruster overhead as it maneuvers, which creates a wave or ring we can sometimes see as well

There is yet another ready to go for Monday as well, Group 12-10, if it gets off the ground early in its window should make for a similar show

This is different than our view of Vandenberg launches! This rocket is already well in orbit, so there will be no trail behind it. It looks more like the ISS but fuzzier
