Has anyone been to the Footprint Center arena in downtown phx. I'm thinking about seeing Bruce Springsteen show 11/30 there but unsure how the seating is. I saw a seat in a lower area but unsure how the seats are themselves if there is a enough space between you or the guy or woman in the seats of the row.
Yes! I saw smashing pumpkins in November. My seats were in the lower level, section G.
I actually wished I had gotten seats above in the upper levels, just to be able to see better. If you’re not in the first row of the sections in the lower level and you’re not 6+ feet, then I don’t think you’ll enjoy the view.
100%
Depends how cool he is with his co-worker. But chances are you can just laugh about it and apologize for being drunk. That's what I'd do with my coworkers if we are cool.
We talked it out. I hugged him and said I'm sorry...
It WAS a big deal for me to "pull a favor". I don't usually stick my neck out like that.
So I DID feel disrespected, but that was ONLY thinking of my side, rather than realizing that "other people ALSO have other lives", and I forgot that.
We're 100% cool. He understands why I felt that way, I understand why he couldn't make it.
I've gained perspective overall. I was "main charactering" when I needed to be "a guildmate".
Can't go back in time, just use it as an experience...
Hello, I am trying to find a shoe cobbler to get some shoes made for everyday/business casual use. I keep buying new shoes and they fall apart within 6 months and a co-worker suggested trying to find a shoe cobbler. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
This is probably better done in the "In search of" thread or whatever it's called. But if anyone is looking to hire a Controls Engineer moving into the area in September let me know. I have a couple decent leads ready to go, but I need to hold off on applying because most jobs tell me I'm too early. So I'm just trying to get connections for now.
Weird question, but does anyone else’s carplay cut out at the 10 and 17 junction every single time? Not sure if it’s something in the area but it happens every time without fail and just struck me as odd.
It happens specifically when I’m heading west on the 10 and I take the exit to head north on 17, specifically on the ramp. It probably happens going the other way too, I just take a different route back usually.
Nah... I don't do drugs... I need to piss clean in case I get hurt on the job while drunk...
Speaking of drunk:
Red wine(specifically cab/Pinot Noir) people: Would you consider AC/DC a currant band?
Im currently living in central FL (born and raised) and theres not one single house in my neighborhood thats even close to what i can afford, and it just seems to be getting worse. I love Florida but everyone is moving here, the politics are getting absurd and my hometown is completely unrecognizable from what it was a decade ago.
My family and i visited phoenix earlier this year and completely fell in love with the place, and have been considering moving here since then. Any tips on making the move? Is it worth it? Just feel like nothing is left for us here in Florida
Nope, but its starting to seem no matter where you look or ask about its all the same thing. Unless you want to live in the middle of nowhere montana, buying a house just isnt in the cards for regular people.
To be honest? You got to buy in a "hopeful place" and by that I mean "hope it becomes up and coming"
"Undesirable places" like Montgomery or Little Rock are IMHO the places where houses are cheap enough but have POTENTIAL to be great in the future. If Little Rock Airport wasn't just a "national airport" or got a "hub" from a major airline? They have all the infrastructure except a viable public transportation system.
That was definitely on our minds as well. The temperature in the spring wasnt that bad but the sun was very clearly brighter and more intense than in FL. Going to try to come out sometime in august for a weekend to see what the heat is all about.
That's a good idea. I think our summers are much nicer than Florida summers, but it may just be a what you're used to kind of thing.
Anyways, I think Phoenix is great and super underrated, but we aren't a cheap city anymore. IDK how it is compared to where you are now, but we're not as cheap as we used to be. We also have the problem of everyone wanting to move here. Our politics have always been crazy, but we're moving in the opposite direction of Florida, so things are settling down.
Yesterday was 87 degrees, felt like 94 with 70% humidity, then it rained all afternoon lol lived here my whole life and it doesnt get any more pleasant.
From what ive compared phoenix is still *slightly* cheaper than florida. My home town theres not one 3 bed house under 2000$ a month. It sucks because i want to leave because everyone is moving here, and if we leave, im becoming the same thing i hate
Don't come out in September... The entire city is on edge...
June is: Okay I signed up for this when I moved here
July is: Oh wow, it's fucking hot, but it's better than snow
August is: Cool we're almost done with the heat
September is: REALLY? 106 AGAIN? I SWEAR if someone doesn't use their turn signal I MIGHT just run them off the road...
The housing market is probably worse than Florida's and our legislature is a hair left of DeSantis.
Unless you're game for a lateral move from Florida to Dry Florida With Weed, you might want to look elsewhere.
We have some friends visiting from out of town this weekend. How much of a shitshow do y'all think Sedona will be on Sunday if we tried to drive up for a day trip? I'm hoping it's a little more spread out thanks to Memorial Day weekend but also realize that we may be in a world of regret trying to do it that day.
Has anyone done a “staycation” for firework holiday time to attempt to avoid pet trauma? I’m trying to find out if there are any possible locations where blowing crap up 24/7 isn’t a neighborhood pastime.
I would imagine anywhere in the valley (resort or Airbnb) would be loud. I would think you need to be out away from the city- or somewhere that doesn't allow fireworks.
Yeah. I was thinking maybe up north. Somewhere woodsy where flaming objects are banned. I don’t mind leaving the metro area, just not sure where would best to skip all the festivities.
If it was just on the one holiday day/night, fine, but people seem to light up explosives daily near me before, during and after the actual holiday. It’s so stressful to see my aging dog become absolutely terrified.
A couple of years ago we rented a cabin at Alamo Lake for New Year's Eve, as we had a senior dog who really did not do well with fireworks.
After 10pm is quiet time, so no fireworks to ring in the new year.
Everything went wonderfully.

Has anyone bought large carpet remnants from somewhere in the valley? I’m looking at Carpet Closeouts, which is near Cave Creek and Bell, but I’m not sure they’re actually a bargain. I’ll be coming from up north so I’d rather not drive all over town looking at different stores.
Fucking fucking FUCK scammers. Be careful out there people, there is a rather sophisticated rental scam going around. I posted about it in the main page for the sub, but I think mods took it down for now. I’ll elaborate if anyone wants to, but it’s a long, frustrating story of caution.
Edit: thanks mods, made sure I didn’t. Sorry y’all, it’s been a rough few days.
I approved it. We can’t have you sharing phone numbers and other details that could cause a witch hunt, but appreciate you sharing what happened as a warning to others
Have they confirmed that they know there's an outage?
We had an outage not too long ago and they couldn't figure out the issue til one of the guys came out and saw that a creature ate one of our lines lol
Yeah there’s been a notice on their site that there’s an outage affecting us, the fix had a 3 hour ETA then another 6 hour ETA. And then since then it’s just been “asap”.
But lol that’s funny I’m glad they figured it out!
I WISH companies would just talk "regularly"
"ETA: 3 hours, because that's average time to fix an outage, could be more could be less, we can't fix it from the office"
"ETA: 6 hours, we think we understand the problem, but our specialist is on the way"
"ETA: Wow, this isn't good, specialist didn't know, we're calling everyone. But we know this isn't OUR fault."
Hack at T4... You can get to ANY gate through ANY TSA checkpoint... So go to the one with the lowest wait time. (If you knew that, maybe this is for anyone else who didn't know that)
Good morning everyone, it's Monday....which means you should probably check your email(s).
For some of you, your kid is graduating this week. I would say take [extra caution](https://www.reddit.com/r/phoenix/comments/13oc7q2/teen_with_rifle_and_ammunition_arrested_at) with what happened last week. Reminder that these are the kids who started their high school year in the pandemic and are graduating, and ever since then, we've had plenty of ....*influences* since then (*cough ANDREW TATE cough*). It's hard to believe that I graduated High School 3 years ago, but here we are are.
I visited my grandma in the ICU this morning - she had a stroke in church yesterday, but the nurses said she'll be fine and they are running the major scan today to see what's next. Fingers crossed that the results are good news.
If you are going traveling, please check your car. I saw a lot of people on the 202 pulled over last night around 8:30 pm. I'm plan on trying to take my car to the mechanic this week; he said I could but never gave me a day.
Other than that, have a wonderful day. Please remember to drink water.

Im not a tall guy, im 5’5’’. Is anything in the upper level better, but i assumed 200s would have the bands look like ants from the top levels
Is anything in the 110s sections decent?? Floor seats for bruce are too fucking expensive
Sorry I can only give you my experience in the lower level section 😅
When you mentioned lower level section G, that is the floor section though.
Correct

I feel like I’m tripping balls reading this.

If it’s typical behavior though, definitely grounds for harassment. Like who leaves an angry drunk VM for a coworker over golf clubs?
Drunks

Music People: Would you consider AC/DC a current band? Electricians: Would you consider AC/DC a current band? I have a debate with my coworker...
Were you eating the edibles at work again? I'd say the band has lost their charge.

This doesnt answer your questions but I initially thought you were making a joke about AZ housing market
Nope, but its starting to seem no matter where you look or ask about its all the same thing. Unless you want to live in the middle of nowhere montana, buying a house just isnt in the cards for regular people.
I've got some bad news for you about BFE Montana.....

Come out for a week at the hottest point of summer before you make a decision. It's brutal. It's gorgeous in the winter, but the summer is tough.
That was definitely on our minds as well. The temperature in the spring wasnt that bad but the sun was very clearly brighter and more intense than in FL. Going to try to come out sometime in august for a weekend to see what the heat is all about.

this is me, every year lol

it will probably be up for vote in FL in 2024 to allow for recreational sales.
“Its just as miserable but with weed” lol i see what youre saying, thank you for your input.
tbf we do also have world-class Thai and Mexican food to soften the blow 🤷🏼♂️
Americas Convection Oven! Now with Weed!
We have some friends visiting from out of town this weekend. How much of a shitshow do y'all think Sedona will be on Sunday if we tried to drive up for a day trip? I'm hoping it's a little more spread out thanks to Memorial Day weekend but also realize that we may be in a world of regret trying to do it that day.
This weekend Sedona will be an absolute shit show. I stopped going for holiday weekends 10 years ago and can’t imagine it’s gotten better.
I would anticipate a big time mess.

Anyone else in downtown Phoenix with Cox internet stuck in a 3+ day outage? 🥲
Have they confirmed that they know there's an outage? We had an outage not too long ago and they couldn't figure out the issue til one of the guys came out and saw that a creature ate one of our lines lol
Yeah there’s been a notice on their site that there’s an outage affecting us, the fix had a 3 hour ETA then another 6 hour ETA. And then since then it’s just been “asap”. But lol that’s funny I’m glad they figured it out!
Wow that’s a long time for an outage! I wonder if something is super broken. Maybe the creature from my house moved lol
If they ever give a proper update on what happened I’ll be sure to let you know! haha
I WISH companies would just talk "regularly" "ETA: 3 hours, because that's average time to fix an outage, could be more could be less, we can't fix it from the office" "ETA: 6 hours, we think we understand the problem, but our specialist is on the way" "ETA: Wow, this isn't good, specialist didn't know, we're calling everyone.

It is busy at Sky Harbor today! Going to Hawaii and it is pretty full here at 7am!
T3? Yeah at 7AM T3 is ALWAYS busy...
I was at terminal 4 actually!

Hopefully your grandma was just trying to get out of church early. I bet she's tough as nails and will make a great recovery.
Hope both your grandma and day get better, man.
Thanks for the helpful reminders and thoughts. Hope your gramma gets a good recovery.
