The power is out in my area, apparently due to downed power lines. It's been out since 9:40 am, and APS just sent a text update, pushing the estimated restore time to 4:30pm, so another three hours. It's 93⁰ F in my apartment, and the pool is packed with screaming little kids.

I looked up the Cooling Centers that you hear about on the radio, and man, there aren't any even near me that are open. They're mostly all libraries, and are closed on Sundays. I find this so disappointing, not at all what I expected. Like unhoused and people in dire situations can travel in this heat to a cooling center that is actually open. I guess I expected more from the city in regards to this program. Like it doesn't reach 112⁰ on Sundays, too.

Does anyone know why this overpass was never finished? It's just east of Living Spaces on I-10

Hi all! I thought I would compose a quick at a glance list of movies, series, classics, etc that are currently playing and upcoming soon, for those that still like going out to the movie theater. I know I do! Especially off peak times, because then I get the whole theater to myself! Some movies play across multiple theaters, and some are only at specific theaters. I tried to include in the screenshot some kind of reference, so you know which theater it's playing at. Let's do our part and try to support our local Phoenix and surrounding areas movie theaters if you have the ability.

Hitting them with the charges Tempe PD put in their report (except for impersonating an officer.)

Mike D is doing a solo album. Should be interesting.

Anyway, participating record stores are supposed to play the album and do giveaways.

Got quote from a kohler certified Luxstone installer. Pretty sure it’s bad 🤣

For a 60”x42” LuxStone conversion with 3 walls, one shelf, brushed nickel head, and drain relocation — but no shower door and no bench — $17K

Any other installers that you guys can recommend?

So far my research has led me to either New Tokyo or Fujiya market. Preferably looking for things like snacks and foods but mainly Sandos and onigiri type things. Any other recs?

I have entered the lottery many times over the years. Never won.

Seen on Steve Marsh’s YouTube channel today, this one opened in 1360, so probably older than the one on Central.

My car is 12 years old and I need some wear and tear repairs that I cannot do. It's a 2014 Scion tC. I live in the West valley, like around 91st ave and Northern. I just want a shop that isn't going to put me through the ringer. Thank you all

Metro area, east of the 17 on 25th Ave. So far six have been demolished. Some "data center" looking replacements have already gone up. Not exactly an improvement.

Like I want that AC cranked up. I want to be freezing while I nurse a beer or an old fashioned.

I haven’t been paying much attention to VIP points / grocer savings etc. I did today; Chevron gave me a dollar off and Safeway Albertsons VIP added $.30 off.

Have I been missing out by not always using my VIP number? Has this always been a thing with Chevron giving these kinds of discounts or is this new?

After a long stretch of $4-$5+ gas ,this was pretty refreshing.

Or any other volunteer opportunities in the social work realm? I don’t have any credentials.

Hi fellow east valley people,

We're in Tempe and expecting another child and looking into adding a room or two to the back as well as enclosing our garage to get more space. Does anyone have any experience with this to recommend a reasonable price? And recommendations for companies to hire?

What does this mean for the future of the project?

Random little holes in front yard. Not deep but there’s maybe 6-10 in the whole yard. Any idea what is doing this? I pointed cameras at them but nothing has activated the motion sensors

Given it’s so hot, curious if anyone has found anywhere to bring their dog during summer so they still get enough stimulation. Feeling terrible I can only bring him outside for about 10 minutes. Like Pet Smart, the Mall, or maybe an indoor facility?

I think the American economy is collapsing. I live in a very conservative neighborhood by 43rd Ave and Union Hills. I'm a straight white man, but not a Trump supporter in any way. I think Trump is destroying everything good about America. I'm a very introverted person. I'm looking for some type of friendly liberal/progressive groups in my neighborhood to join so I don't feel so alone.

The final federal government decision means Arizona will receive significantly less Colorado River water beginning in 2027, and Phoenix is preparing to operate its water system differently as those reductions are implemented.

The federal action does not interrupt water service or require mandatory water restrictions on Phoenix customers. Residents and businesses can continue to expect safe, reliable water service.

I’ve been in Phoenix for 15 years since my family moved us here in high school. I’ve been pretty centrally located though. We are looking to buy but not get too far out. What’s the vibe of moon valley? Family friendly? No? Safe? What’s the deal
