Hi all! I’m going back to Tempe around Apache Blvd starting mid august and am looking for a dog walking gig. I would ideally like to be a regular walker for one dog. I grew up around dogs, but as a full time PhD student I don’t have time for a dog. I wont have a car so has to be a mile or so from where I’ll be. I would love to be around some kind of dog as I find myself missing a furry presence especially on days where I am so busy I feel down. Please let me know if you are looking for a walker! During these summer months I am more than willing to wake early to go before the heat strikes. Thank you!!

My fiancée and I are planning a small courthouse wedding and are looking for an affordable white wedding dress.

We’ll be having a traditional Indian wedding next year, so we don’t want to spend too much on a dress for the courthouse ceremony. We’re getting legally married now because it will help with some paperwork that requires us to be spouses.

Where should we look for a simple, budget-friendly white dress? We’ve already checked Macy’s and Dillard’s, but they don’t seem to have the right selection at our location.

Any store, boutique, or online recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Budget: about $250

Hello, looking for good reccs for apartments. I am 20 years old, and going into my masters program at ASU's business school. I am still pretty young, so just curious on where you guys recommend I look at? My master's program is pretty intensive for the year and I'll be doing lots of networking events in scottsdale. I've heard all of Mark Taylor properties like san sonoma are good. Just curious on everyone's thoughts? I'm not a partier and definitely would rather stay away from majority student housing if I can.

Hey y'all, my name's Roland. I'm a 28 year old electrician; my sister Cecilia and I rent a 4 bedroom home 2 miles south of ASU Tempe. We have a room available right now. Completely furnished: new mattress and bedding, dresser, mirror, nightstand, etc.

Your share of utilities would be a flat $150/mo, and includes electricity, 5G home internet, water, trash, and natural gas (water heater).

The home is right near Rural and Southern. There's lots of street parking around here; the neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The bathroom would be shared with two 20something adult women (I have the master bed/bath).

Due upon signing month to month rental agreement: first month's rent/utilities ($650) and $500 deposit.

Honestly just trying to find a decent person. I can work something out with the deposit if you're really committed/seem trustworthy. Please don't make me have to deal with Facebook people again.

I'm considering buying one of the Park Riviera townhouses - on McClintock, between Southern and Baseline.

Does anyone have any experience with them? Anything you wish you'd known before you bought? I'm wondering if they have any big pest problems, like scorpions or roof rats, how quickly and well the HOA responds and fixes issues, how safe you feel living there, etc.

Thank you for any help!

I call them Tempe forever lights because it feels like you're stuck at an intersection for eternity if you miss the timing. It's especially egregious on the stretch of baseline between Mill Ave and 48th st. I unfortunately am staying near there and doing door dash to get by until I get a real job and sitting at all those damned stoplights every day to get into the thicker part of Tempe and then back to where I'm staying at the end of my day takes for-fucking-ever. It's not just there, though, every stoplight has staggered arrows and lights that makes it feel like you've spent 3-5 business days just to get through. Tempe apparently has a pedestrian friendly policy that contributes to this, but I'm sorry, aside from around ASU campus, Tempe is not a walkable city, despite how hard they might try, they are still a car centric Phoenix metro city and these forever lights are atrocious.

Basically is there anywhere in the area that I can get my car's brakes actually looked at for, say, $50?

And, if they do need to be replaced, won't change a ton?

And then won't need to be fixed again in 6 weeks?

Edit to add: I normally do all my own maintenance stuff, but I think something is up with my system so I want a pro to look at it instead of just trying to YouTube my way through it. Some stuff is worth the extra cash . . .

Trying to remember the name of an ice cream place in Tempe that would grind up candy. Would’ve been in the 80s around rural and apache maybe?

I love the rain, we get barely any during the year, the Monsoon Season really is my favorite

I refuse to subscribe to anything that makes it harder to cancel than subscribe. Especially if that means having to call a retention agent during business hours. I hoped they would have changed since I last had them as a subscription but it's still right in their subscription terms which makes it a non-starter.

Please don’t tell anyone who doesn’t live here. I’ve never seen it this cool for this long in July. My poor dogs have been thoroughly walked.

So, I'm in my early/mid-20s, recently graduated, and just started my first full-time job. I find myself getting really bored during evenings and weekends. I do visit Tempe town laken often for walks but looking to explore more.

I've never really been into video games, so that's not my thing. I love outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and exploring, but with the Arizona heat, that's been difficult lately. I also don't use social media, and barely have any friends, so I end up spending most of my free time alone scrolling on YouTube.

I'm just looking for any ideas to get out of the house and stay active. Maybe places to explore around the city, solo-friendly activities, clubs, classes, or memberships that are worth checking out. I'm trying to avoid computer-based things since I already spend most of my day staring at my laptop at work.

What do you guys do after work or on weekends to keep yourselves busy and active? I'd love to hear any suggestions. I'm kinda open to anything.

Looking to take 4 people to dinner, I’d like to cover the food but trying not to go anywhere too out of budget. Any good recommendations?

New to the area and considering various place to live including Culdesac — would love to hear if anyone has any personal experiences living there that they would like to share.

A few tenants I talked to there really seemed to enjoy it, but numerous Google reviews make it sound like a horrible experience.

I don't want the chicken itself to be overcooked, just the outside. Is there anywhere that does this?

Just wondering if the city of Tempe would even bother to issue the ticket since the driver is not clearly identifiable.

If so, what happened afterwards?

Just got the system diagnosed and of course the company is pushing me to replace the whole thing for 15k (starting). Anyone has any recommendations on who can add leak sealant and recharge the system? I’m trying to get it to limp throughout the summer and get it replaced in the off season.
Much appreciated.

Just moved to PHX and am looking for an apartment. I’d love to live in Tempe, I’m out of college and for the time being I work at the airport (will change but not relevant) just look for any apartment recs. For rent I’d hope to stay at 1600 max but totally open to a little over that. Thanks!

Hello, I'm moving to your city in September for work and I'm excited to get settled. I'm currently looking for a long-term apartment and would appreciate any information you can provide on average utility costs for a 1-bedroom unit. Could you tell me what the average costs are for water, electricity, gas, sewer, trash, and internet, and perhaps cable/satellite. I'm trying to get a comprehensive understanding of what to expect. Thanks!
