Hi there, I have two 8 week old puppies, and they have had their first shots and vet check. I am currently looking for a good vet to take them to regularly to finish up their puppy shots and also to have in case of anything that comes up.

Do you all recommend anyone that's in Tempe/Chandler area? also any places that are cheaper or offer coupons or have cheaper shot clinics, etc? Also do any of you know of any good places to get cheaper stuff for dogs (like baby gates, crates, etc) because Petsmart seems to be super super expensive.

any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

Big announcement tomorrow at 1:30 for Counter Culture. Press conference with the Mayor of Tempe and City Council. 6th & Mill. Be there!!!

Hi I'm Vicki,

1. how fun would it be to make new friends while getting fit?
2. I want ideas on where to bicycle and walk in Glendale and the West Valley
3. We will meet saturdays and ride to downtown phoenix for the farmer

There is a very real possibility that Counter Culture will be reopening in the near future. This time on Mill Avenue in a 6100 square feet location with a full kitchen. We will also be a full venue with a real stage and sound system, a bar and a retail location specializing in locally produced art music and fashion. It's time for us freaks to take back Mill! Think positive thoughts, help us generate some buzz and spread the good word!

ps: We have an amazing opportunity here and are currently negotiating free rent for our first year, but we need help: partners, sponsors and investors. Even small amounts of capital will help, and while there is no such thing as a risk-free investment, free rent for a year, complete commercial kitchen, in between a large parking garage and the MADCAP Theaters, at the base of two (currently under construction) condo towers and walking distance from the nation's largest public research university (asu) makes this a no-brainer! please spread the word and contact andres.yuhnke@gmail.com with any interest. thanks!

Hellooo,

I'm new to Phoenix, and a leeeeetle bored. I used to live on an island near Seattle, but moved here in early October just to switch thangs up a little. I haven't started school yet, and all I do is work, and read and try to Google interesting things to do here, but nothing has really piqued my interest. I'm 18, so bars are out of the question, and most concerts seem to be too.
So, people of the greater Phoenix area-- What is a girl to do? Are there any secret, amazing things about this city that don't require a companion? (Single, no friends, yadda yadda.) I feel a little hesitant about going places alone because I have a propensity for getting lost, but I'm tired of lurking at the Library and Whole Foods, help a sister out:)

Hi! I'm working on a move to the Phoenix area at the moment, and I need some advice. The company that I'm looking to hire into has two stores in the area, one in Scottsdale and one in Glendale. If I try for the position in Scottsdale, the move would be ASAP. The one in Glendale not so much.

From what I gather, Scottsdale is rather expensive. What less expensive areas are within commuting distance of Scottsdale that are also generally safe to live in?

Also, other than Craigslist, what resources should I be using to find housing? My roommate and I are almost certain whatever we get will have to be a house for rent- we have two dogs, and one is a Saint Bernard. Most of the stuff on craigslist is apartments, and most apartments laugh in your face when you say Saint Bernard!

Any advice is appreciated!

Er, hi.
At about 10:20 pm today (Dec. 17th), our house suddenly shook. Dad seemed to feel most of it and thought mom crashed her car into our garage. Mom, who was just driving the car up, felt the car shake, and thought she crashed it or blew out a tire (neither thing happened).
Me, I thought something large fell over (nothing did). Or it was a possible explosion nearby (no smoke, fire, or sirens, even).

One of my friends, who lives about 7 miles away from me (near Deer Valley Airport), felt/heard the exact same thing about 5 minutes before I did.

Another friend lives about 10 miles away, and felt/heard the same thing at roughly the same time as I.

That rules out explosion or thunderclap, due to laws of physics and how sound travels.

I should also mention that our cats freaked out, too.

So, I'm asking if anybody else in the North Phoenix (heck, even Downtown) area felt/heard anything similar at about that time. Even if the time's way off, if you felt/heard it, please, tell me. I want to know what just happened.
