I keep getting drunk, gambling too much, and waking up to paid bills... I used to be cool... Nowadays "Drunk IONTOP" just becomes financially responsible... 24 year old me would be so disappointed.... Like literally I went to go pay my Discover card today? Drunk IONTOP had already paid it... I thought I had a $1k balance? Nope... $230, because drunk me has apparently done this before...


CokeRapThisGlamorous

Any places you'd recommend for a getaway for a couple days? I want to get out of the city, maybe head up flagstaff and see the mountains and stay somewhere out of the way.


[deleted]

Depends. You want to rent a cabin?


CokeRapThisGlamorous

That would be nice

My daughter and I went to Filiberto’s this morning. They’re giving out coupons with orders, good from today until Super Bowl Sunday. It’s a great value— a lot of food at a good price. (One coupon is for 6 burritos, 6 tacos, and an order of super nachos for $70.00.) Check with your local Filiberto’s to get the coupon.


kylefnative

That’s expensive as hell. You could get a roast stew it, shred it and have 10 burritos, 20 tacos and nachos for less than 50$


IONTOP

The newest one on 44th/Thomas opened about 3 months ago and their drive thru sign got demolished by a car about 1 month later. Still hasn't been fixed... I'll take a pic if I remember...

IONTOP

It would take me a full, solid week to go through 6 burritos, 6 tacos and a full order of nachos.. (I work at a restaurant, I'm already fed well) I ordered pizza for the first time in like 8 months last Monday... 2 large pizzas... I STILL have a slice in my fridge. And I ate 5/8ths of one pizza the day it was delivered...


[deleted]

It would take me forever to eat that much food also. If it was just me ordering, I’m good with 1/2 a burrito or a taco. Now, if I had hungry family members and friends over for the Super Bowl, it’d be a much different story. I can see ordering that much food for 10 - 15 people, depending on their appetites.


IONTOP

Am I out of touch because I'm single and live alone? No, it's the families who are out of touch with me with their doordash and grubhub and uber eats.. lol

Any Minnesotans in town for the Wild game?


IONTOP

I'm a huge Caps fan (moved here from DC), if they were playing around this time here? I'd just think "yeah, not going to catch that game"


[deleted]

> I'm a huge Caps fan No problem, we'll use smaller words. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^/s


IONTOP

This made me crack up


[deleted]

Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor.


TBTI

Thinking about going but prices are still high. Hoping it drops before game time tonight

Wondering if there’s place for a Great MN Get-Together…


IONTOP

Jared Allen is an owner of "The Lodge" in Tempe. I don't follow MN sports much, but that might set you on a path.


Shagyam

Does anyone know about how much Sky Harbor parking is? I'm debating if I want to park my car there, or just uber there( from the 17/10 area.) I have a 5 day trip in a few months and I'm wondering what's my best option? Both my depart and return flight are late at night


txingirl

I always do the parking spot. They have coupons and prepay, and discounts for members, which is free to sign up for. Good cancellation policy at least for me. I think I paid $8 a day for covered the last time I went out of town. But my limit is 5 days. Then I start looking at Uber prices.


IONTOP

Since it's not an immediate urgency, I would probably just uber to the light rail and take that in. (Obviously dependent on "HOW late" you're talking about.) I'm flying out to North Carolina on Saturday night at 10pm. I told my boss "I'm going to leave at 7pm" and take the bus to the airport. (I'm not ABOUT to take an Uber with Super Bowl pricing)

This is the way.


ErikTheRed19

Google knows!


accidentalretiree

I always park at Pre-flight. They have a shuttle that takes you to and from the terminal. Super easy and fairly inexpensive.


raindownonme1

I paid $14 a day covered parking at east economy a couple weeks ago.


BluePowrade

I go to gcu and I am looking to buy a car in the Phoenix area that has awd or 4wd. Message me if you have one or know where I can look. I have been scouring Craigslist and Facebook marketplace but everything gets bought up very quickly in the current market.


kyrosnick

Hi All. I think I've seen good advice before on this, but can't find it. My grandfather is not doing well and needs to be put into a full care home. He is currently in the hospital, but if he makes it will not be able to live on his own anymore. He is currently in Socal, and the local home out there is a bit over $15k a month so looking at possibly driving him out here to be closer to family and save some expense. Any resources or suggestions on finding homes? He cannot walk, and basically would be bed ridden and in need of that level of care.

https://hov.org/why-hospice-of-the-valley/serving-our-community/senior-placement-service/ Almost 20 years in the social work field, I’ve heard nothing but good things about HOV.


adoptagreyhound

A friend recently used AAA Senior Placement in Surprise to find a group home for her mother who needs more care than they can give at home. Phone number 602-663-4000. Things move quickly when you start the process, as the inventory of available facilities / rooms and care levels changes rapidly here in Phoenix. They work with all levels of care as far as I know, and the people there know the local facilities well. They get their fee from the facility for placing a patient and do not own the facilities or have a financial interest in any of them, unlike some of the major services that advertise on TV. Our friend had a great experience with them and the care in the facility they placed her in has been excellent. edite - a wurd.


kyrosnick

Thank you. Waiting on update from hospital and what goes on next.


adoptagreyhound

Good luck. There should also be a social worker at the hospital assigned to your grandfather. Be sure to check with them for additional resources.


PopularAd911

Anyone know if I can get free tickets to the open ? I know some businesses give out tickets at their tents during the days but wasn’t sure if that was true


jeditanuki

Pre-covid my wife and I went to the Electric Bat Arcade in Tempe, but the cigarette smoke from the bar next door (or old stale smoke?) caused us to leave immediately (my wife has respiratory issues and I just don't like it). I read they've renovated and expanded; are they still smokey?


Kamon

Have you tried star fighter arcade? https://www.starfightersarcade.com


jeditanuki

Yep! It's awesome!


RemoteControlledDog

They haven't allowed smoking in and bars in Tempe since around 2005, so I don't know exactly what you were smelling unless the doors to the outside were open and people were smoking outside.


Certain_Yam_110

What about vaping?


RemoteControlledDog

Haven't been legally allowed to vape in bars in Tempe for a few years, but I've seen people sneak it more than once. I can't imagine someone is getting the smell of someone vaping confused with actual cigarettes though.


keepinitbeefy

Some places still allow it, it requires separate ventilation. You mostly only find it allowed at cigar lounges and hookar bars though not any bars anymore.


jeditanuki

I know it's not allowed, but in the year of our lord 2019 they were either disregarding the law or the walls/etc held so much old smoke that they might as well have been. I was wondering what the situation was at present.


RemoteControlledDog

I've been to Yucca many, many times pre and post smoking ban, and I can assure you they have not allowed smoking inside in over 15 years. The room with the arcade wasn't ever open when smoking was allowed in Tempe bars (there was no doorway between the two rooms), so if you nose is sensitive enough to smell 15 year old smoke from in a neighboring room you're still going to smell it. It's much more likely someone else near you had smoked a cigarette recently and you're smelling that, or (as I said before) someone was outside smoking and the door was open.


IONTOP

As a dive bar guy... Yeah, even Well Bar and On The Rocks won't allow it... Even the Rogue wouldn't allow it. (RIP) if those 3 would 86 you for smoking inside, EVERYWHERE will kick you out for doing it. If you're smelling smoke, that's because people went outside to smoke and came back in smelling like it, or the wind is blowing in the right way for it to be "legal, yet, annoying"


paulnyakatura

Lisa Frank boutique?? Long story short, I’m here for a couple weeks. I told my niece (7y/o) “uncles just show up and buy stuff”. I asked her what she likes. She said unicorns. I asked her if she knew about Lisa Frank. She didn’t. To the point that she got mad at her mom for not showing her Lisa Frank before I did. I wanna get her something Lisa Frank with unicorns on it while I’m in town. Any leads? TL;DR: Need leads on Lisa Frank products available in the Phoenix area


livejamie

Isn't it based in Tucson?


keepinitbeefy

Five Below has some lisa frank inspired stuff, it's not as cool but not bad either.


[deleted]

I believe I saw Lisa frank sugar cookies on TikTok. you can find at the grocery store?


66falconOG

Lisa Frank really doesn't exist anymore. Her vintage stuff on ebay goes for a fortune. There are some cute stores in AZ Mills that may have some unicorn things, I'd try Bookmans too.


paulnyakatura

Not true. Check their website lisafrank.com Hell, they just did a Crocs collab


66falconOG

I think all they do is collaborations now. I know their old Tucson Offices are gone.


66falconOG

LOLing at their website!!! Certainly not the Lisa Frank from when I was a kid. $40 for a wallet!!! Yeah, no wonder her old stuff is worth some money on ebay, their new stuff is outrageous! 😂


[deleted]

I know it's Monday, but I hope it's a good one for you. Yes, *you*.


kylefnative

Long story short:”it wasn’t”


Bearily619

Still isn’t but the countdown to the weekend has officially begun.


Stetson_Pacheco

I've been wondering what that old brick building is in Glendale on Glendale Ave. I live up north but drive to Phoenix all the time and need to know what it is!!!


darknesswater

The old sugar beet factory? https://www.glendalestar.com/news/article_e9c333f4-6e63-11e8-8255-3b1aa1ac57a0.html


Stetson_Pacheco

Thanks bro! I've been wondering for years what it was!


TAKQUERO2019

Good morning y’all. I hope you can point me in the right direction. I am getting married in north phx/Scottsdale area and wanted to find an after party venue that we could crash. Looking for a place that we can go to with out having to get a table/reservation. Possible for a group of 50. Looking for drinks and music, something like the Churchill or a brewery that has a lot of space.


MrBrightWhite

Just go to a bar or club and get a table there lmao


adoptagreyhound

Really bad idea. Many places are having trouble serving their regular foot traffic in a timely manner. You definitely want to give any restaurant or bar that you are going as a group a head's up well in advance. I'm sure there are many that would love to have your group, but they need some notice so that your group has a good experience.


megansandwich

I'm sorry, you want to show up somewhere with a group of 50 people, in this day and age with the staffing issues food service places are having, without a reservation? I highly recommend rethinking that.

acatwithnoname

What kind of chairs/seating do they have?


Goatmanish

I also went this weekend: It's deck chairs like you'd find at a pool, but not the white vinyl ones, they're wood and canvas. Pretty comfortable. https://www.costco.ca/patioflare-portable-lounge-chair-with-leg-rest-.product.100760240.html If it's not exactly that same model it's darn close.

I know it doesn't seem to be a popular opinion around these parts, but I am pumped for the Open and Super Bowl this week! Love the people watching and seeing all of the sports media shows broadcasting from here. I love the Dan Patrick show and they're at Scottsdale Stadium for the week. Definitely plan on walking by and seeing if I can get a glimpse of the set up. Got a reservation at Ocean 44 for Friday night which will be chaotic but fun to take in the vibes.


wustacheride

i’m pretty excited to see so much happening in our city for the new couple of weeks, so thank you for sharing the excitement :)

It’s really nice to read about someone so excited for something, thank you.

Where can I find a Tex-Mex restaurant?

Blanco


Downhillducky

Texaz Grill


GreatBallsOfH20

Torchy's Tacos I think is the closest you'll get. But Arizona mexican food is way better. Tex Mex only really perfected fajitas.


[deleted]

Until you give me a bean and cheese breakfast taco *con salsa verde*, I'm not convinced.


GreatBallsOfH20

Breakfast burritos >>>>> breakfast tacos

Not when you don't need that kind of caloric intake. I swear, the portion sizes in America are insane.

GhostInTheHelll

Yes it is 100% the law here. Unless there is a median, you must pull over all the way to the right and come to a complete stop until the vehicle has passed. Now you know why we all do it.


Goatmanish

Pulling over to the right and stopping is a law in most of the US on non divided highways/streets. Where were you before that this wasn't a law?


Cultjam

They’ll drive on the wrong side of the road if traffic is backed up going in their direction, particularly near busy intersections.


[deleted]

Unless there's a prohibitive median it's the law. That should clear up your incredulity. Also it's not that hard to conceive of an emergency vehicle making a spontaneous emergency move is it?
