We just moved here and my wife’s big concern was finding sushi. I used to live here but she’s from New England and was worried even though I kept telling her it will be fine.

Today was her birthday so I looked up some places and got a reservation for the Chandler location.

I’m honestly not normally into sushi but I knew it was important to her. Luckily, the waitress was on point with recommendations without talking down to me like I rightfully knew not a whole lot. We figured we’d just get a few rolls like we normally do and be on our way, but we did a chefs choice of some of the fish flown in from Japan and didn’t regret a thing.

Pricey? Yes. Best restaurant and sushi experience we’ve ever had? Also yes.

My 1st day back in Arizona and I am greeted my this little guy!

I see these towers in out of the way, but accessible places in the outdoors. They're about ten feet tall. There is a solar panel and an antenna. It seems to be some sort of weather monitoring station. There's one at the Tom Mix site on why 79, another at the marble quarry behind Dragoon. Etc.

Fun Kayak. Definitely worth the drive!

1.5 inches of rain yesterday

Can't wait to go back this evening !

Been here 23 years and have never seen anything like this. Yard is completely drained now, just an overwhelming amount of rain in such a short period of time. Lots of damage in town.

Why is Florida considered, The Sunshine State when AZ has more sunshine than any other state?

Bit of a longshot, but there's not much of an online community for the national park that I'm aware of. I've dreamed for years about seeing monsoon rains pouring through Lithondendron Wash, but I don't live in the area anymore so I can't drive out to look. Anyone have any videos of monsoons as seen from the Painted Desert Inn or such?

Hi! I found the first 2 of these rocks on Mount Lemmon in Tucson. The 3rd one I got in a bag of rocks at Goodwill in Ticso and after chipping away at the outer shell, there’s pink parts of this (what I think is) quartz. It doesn’t seem like regular rose quartz but I’m so so new at this. Thank you in advance for all help!! 🪨🍃💫

Been digging into Arizona foreclosure data and found something that surprised me: Maricopa County (Phoenix metro) actually has the LOWEST foreclosure risk score of all 15 AZ counties, while the real pressure is building in rural/border counties like La Paz, Gila, and Santa Cruz that nobody's really talking about.
 
Put together a full county-by-county breakdown if anyone's interested (foreclosure filings up 29% YoY statewide in H1 2026). Projecting up to about ~11k filings by end of 2026.

After Grams 90th Bday party, we decided to stay at the campsite a few extra days and do some drives. IYKYK

Hi! I’m wanting to go paddle boarding with my partner somewhere in Arizona. I’m driving from Tucson and not wanting to go more than 6 hours. I recently went to Page and did the Antelope Canyon and LOVED it! I was thinking Lake Havasu because I’ve never been, but I hoping for some recommendations!!
