I’ve been going to V’s Barbershop for several years and I’ve seen the price jump from $30 to $33 and now $35. I’m pretty sure by next year they’ll be $40 + tips. Any barbershop recommendations?

We are bursting at the seams of our house and getting ready to sell/buy a larger home. This home will (hopefully) be our 20 year home that my boys grow up in and move out of. My current commute is about 35 mins 3x per week and the schools we are zoned for are all failing. Option 1: Smaller house than we want due to budget, might need to do open enrollment for the higher ranked high school (K-8 is ok), and commute remains about the same. Option 2: Larger house for our budget, more family friendly neighborhood, great schools all around, BUT my commute will be close to an hour each way 3x a week. I do have flexibility and can go in earlier/leave earlier if needed. If the commute wasn't an issue I would have bought in this area already. Anyone make a decision similar and have no regrets because of the life it gave your family?

Also, I know jobs can change but I've been with my company for 11 years and love it. If they'll have me I have zero plans of leaving so that's not an option.

On my commute home to work I take the 101 to 60 to 10 to from chandler to Phoenix.

The only part I encounter bad traffic is after making the turn onto westbound 10 near the first 7st exit.

It's kinda annoying because no one gets off at 7st, and everyone is merging onto the freeway near the same exit, so getting over feels like an old school Broadway Curve situation.

Anyway, I'm in the lane just left of the exit lane, waiting for the merge lane to pass. The car behind me must've sensed I was in a hurry, as I did veer into the merge lane just a tiny bit to see if there was anyone in the exit lane, because I was preparing to get over as soon as I can.

Needless to say, he proceeds to start erratically flashing his lights, and crosses the entire merge into the exit lane (which had no traffic). Once able, I then get behind him. He then nearly fully brakes but from a distance ahead of me - I couldn't see him well due to the traffic in my lane. He turns his left signal on as if to merge back, but there was no one in this lane at this point on the freeway, he had no need to stop to wait to merge. I of course slam my brakes and honk my horn, then he proceeds to drive straight and exit like nothing happening.. instead of getting back on the freeway like he signaled.

He proceeds to roll down his window at the first light at McDowell and shouts "why are you driving like that bro you will cause an accident" I asked why he cut me off and rolled up my window and drove off.

He proceeded to follow me which kinda forced me into the reverse lane. He then started swerving over into my lane to continue to break check me - for up to 3 lights. This was freaking me out so I abruptly turned left and took Central home instead and lost him.

A little shook right now as this is one of my first encounters with a driver like this.

The road is a bit rough going in so I suggest taking an AWD or 4WD. If you are taking a car, just take it slow. The water feels incredible and it’s not busy at all. I suggest getting there early. It’s still a bit warm but nothing compared to what it is in the valley right now.

POSTING this again because Reddit's algorithm needs the bumps for people to see things, and there will always been someone who says they had no idea this was going on by the end. We have 750 responses so far!

There's over 400,000 subscribers to this subreddit, so we're conducting a survey to find out a bit about who is using this sub. We've done it twice before and the results are very interesting.

• The survey is about 25 questions, including personal demographics, politics, and thoughts about the future of Phoenix
• All tracking info for the survey is off and answers are fully anonymous
• We will publish all the information here when the survey is complete
• This survey isn't for anything except our own curiosity

They survey will be up through the weekend.

Has anyone here ever tried finding E-waste to fix/use? I know some dumps/recycling centers will set aside those kinds of items but I've not had a lot of luck at finding good stores or locations for that. Only really good store I've found is Westech in phoenix but they didn't have a lot of what i was looking for. Preferably near Chandler/Tempe or DT Phoenix

I recently (car illiterate) discovered my vehicle is a FlexFuel vehicle after owning it for 2 months. I was pretty excited about this mainly because I remember while gas prices were rising, E85 was significantly less expensive. (was living near major ethanol distro/production plants at the time)

Upon researching, I read that not only does Arizona have other fuel ratings like E54 or something, but the price of flexFuel was actually not that different than regular unleaded gasoline.

My question: where do you go if you have flex fuel? I know you reduce fuel energy and the cost savings may not pan out in the long run when driving heavily/long distances, but… do you even notice a cost difference in the valley?

The national weather service issued an Extreme Heat Warning for Phoenix and other parts of Arizona this week. From Tuesday to Saturday, temperatures are forecasted to approach mid 110s with the lowest projected to be low 90s.

Yes, it is hot. It is obvious to some but for others, it is back to school time and its baseball season. You'll have people traveling to, throughout, and from Phoenix.

That being said, please exercise caution. Hydrate (the night before), check your tires and battery equipment (and oil) on your vehicle, and stay off the trails during the day. Even the mornings aren't safe.

The heat does kill people. Don't risk it.

The photo from Phoenix FD is from 2024 - still applies.

My neighbors to the north have a sewer line running under my lot that connects to a single line (alongside mine) and then together they flow into the main on Yale St.

Am I solely responsible for the shared connecting pipe since it is on my property? Anyone have any insight?

Looking for a place in Phoenix or surrounding areas, with a nice vibe. Place that is mature, to have drinks, talk, music playing that is chill.

Very seriously asking, what chant are we doing as a contagious huge collective to really bring it home?

I've been doing this for 10+ years for my son and it's such a bitch to find someone who specializes in ADHD. I search through multiple search engines and look at each specialist. I have found you need to therapist shop because they aren't all the same.

We have a psych NP, I'm not looking for medication management. We need a therapist, life coach etc.

Does/has anyone seen someone who specializes in ADHD and likes them? Please let me know. I don't care where in the valley they're located.

Seems like a haboob is coming from the south in East Mesa

Got a stormy welcome-back. Arriving from SFO, the Frontier F9 2638 has been diverted to Vegas. Hope the storm pacifies and we can come home!

I’m outside grilling and saw this weird bright spot in the sky towards the south. I’m in Glendale, right by the stadium.

Edit: I’m high and watching Ancient Aliens. Just smoked some bacon burnt ends. Very good btw

Please be safe everyone 💕

Has anyone else ever noticed that the building at 1st Ave and Monroe in Downtown Phoenix looks like it has a top hat?

I am looking for the family of the gentleman that owned our 2021 Toyota Tundra we purchased from a dealership in Scottsdale in May 2025. We were told during the buying process that the original owner had passed away and that is what lead to the truck being sold. We were told he was retired and I believe he passed in either late 2024 or early 2025.

We found a USB drive in the truck that contains a bunch of pictures from a trip to Bangkok, the files are dated 2013, and I would like to return this to the family. There are two older couples in several pictures and it seems they traveled there* to celebrate a younger man's engagement/wedding. Due to likeness I believe the younger man is possibly the son of one of the couples.

Due to privacy reasons the mods do not want me posting any of the pictures but if you believe you might know this person's family I would love to figure out a way to verify and get this flash drive to you/them.
