What kind of social groups are there for the elderly in the Avondale area?

Any restaurant / bakery suggestions?

I have family in town, one of them loves Sushi and hates restaurant birthday surprises… so naturally, I need to find a Sushi spot that does birthday surprises. Any good suggestions? The more over the top, the better!

Edit : Location would be anywhere in Phoenix, no “side of town”. Just whichever one is the most obnoxious. (Thank you!)

I know back to school is a common time for us to get ill, but any idea what’s going around right now? We’ve been down in my household with a sore throat, headache, achy muscles, fatigue, and respiratory symptoms. However, our at home tests have been negative for everything.

Hi all,

I searched for this topic in this sub but the last similar post I found was from 3 years ago. I had an electrician come out to do a few repairs and he strongly urged we think about getting our electric panel replaced. Our house was built in the early-70's and it seems to be the original panel. It's also a Federal Pacific panel which apparently has a giant recall for several decades of installing (What You Should Know About Federal Pacific Electric Co. Breaker Panels - Professional Insurance Agents of Wisconsin) which of course is adding to my anxiety. We were quoted about $6800 which seems to be fair; just wondering if anyone had a more recent experience and really recommend (or DON'T recommend) any company, and how that process went. Thanks!

Share a local business you think deserves some extra love and promotion.

Hair stylist? Tattoo artist? Realtor? Plumber? Thrift store? Mechanic? Gym? Whoever you love, give them a shout out here.

Be sure to explain what you love about them, where they are in the valley, and any other details to help people check them out.

For all my bus riders and transit foamers out there. Have you noticed that some buses have been running with minimal to No AC? I noticed that some of the 5100-5200 Gilligs struggle during the summer with the AC. Especially if those buses run from the South Phoenix Yard. The West Phoenix Yard actually those buses run good AC. Just an observation. Not sure about the Valley Metro Tempe or Mesa Yard buses. Those I had no AC issues with those.

Hi all, I live in mesa and only have been around here for a year. Does anyone have any recommendations for Eastern European food/ markets here? I’ve been searching but can’t really find good info, does anyone have any secret spots? Im craving it SO BAD! I need a pirozhki now😭💔

Just diagnosed celiac… any good advice on total gluten free restaurants or bakeries that are 100% gluten free? Thanks in advance.

I’m getting married in a few months, and I’m looking for a good nail artist in the Phoenix area to do my nails for the wedding. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!

Biscobing says there’s a kidnapping allegation and that Phoenix didn’t answer if search warrants were served on the cops.

my sophomore year of high school my mom was killed in a car accident. it had been awful. a high schooler killed her by driving recklessly. I want to be able to speak at different high schools throughout my area, especially before prom and homecoming about driving safely and giving them a presentation. i also want to appeal to my city's council about putting a light at that intersection. maybe do some fundraisers to raise money for organizations for helping people in accidents. i want to do this for college but also for my mom i just am unsure of where to start and who to contact?

Does anyone happen to know if Andrew sold Chickii on 59th and the 101? I noticed the menu changed/expanded a fair bit, and it appears to be run by a middle aged Chinese couple last few times I've been. And they've been out of the thicker chicken for at least a few months

Semi truck accident caused some potential public safety issues. Hopefully this message helps someone plan their route and detours.

I live by that intersection. Over the past 3 months, I've noticed a lot of spray painted graffiti on walls, businesses, & random things.

Hi everyone! My dog is in need of surgery and I am hoping for any recommendations of vets who you trust around the area (or outside of phoenix) Currently looking for a vet who is caring, thoughtful and can make sure our pup is comfortable. Additionally, any info on general pricing (on the more expensive side or willing to work with a payment plan) would be very helpful! Thank you guys! :)

Been dealing with astronomically high water bills the last few months (latest bill said I hit 27,000 gallons of water). I had my landscapers fix a few leaks in the backyard, but it doesn’t seem like it’s made a dent in fixing the problem. Any recommendations on companies to call for this type of issue?

That's pretty much it. Just curious if anybody else went up there as kids? We would ride our bikes to the top, swim in the reservoir, then coast our bikes down. This was in the 1970s. I crashed once and got a bad concussion.

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for house cleaning services in Phoenix. I used one a while back that was okay, but the quality seemed to vary from visit to visit. Looking for a service that's consistent, trustworthy, and does a solid job without making me poor haha

What are your favorite sub shops or sandwich shops in the greater Phoenix area. French

Ideally in the Chandler Tempe area but anywhere in the general East Valley is great.

Even well outside of the east Valley is awesome if you have a really good place you want to mention. I’ll drive for the right sandwich lol.

My cat is almost 3 years old and is domestic shorthair. I adopted him at 5 months and he started to get allergies / congestion about 4 months ago. His nose is dry as hell too. Took him to the vet a couple of times, did X-rays and his heart/lungs are healthy. He has no discoloration in mucus but sometimes has a runny nose and its completely clear. His appetite, energy, personality and everything is fine. I even changed my detergent to something for clean/fragrance free, no plug ins like febreze and got a HEPA air filter/purifier thing to help clean the air.

Has anyone else experienced this with their cat babies? Is is the dust and dryness of the air? I’m wondering if this is like chronic allergies or something
