I'm new to Phoenix and I'm looking for a good artist to do an anime sleeve. I have a general idea on what I want. But I'm looking for an artist I can connect with most of the time. I will will bring a general idea and ask them to tweak it into their own style so it's very important for me to be able to trust my artist's style to be similar to my own.

I broke out in major hives (massive welts all over, even around my eyes) after the haboob last night. It started getting better today, then it rained a little tonight and- hives again. I got some rainwater on me last night, but showered this morning. Anyone else getting hives? Dunno if it's the dust that preceded (though I was indoors), or the water, or a coincidence.

Anybody know where I could get an affordable haircut like these in or around Phoenix? It looks simple but I’m having trouble finding anywhere that has posted a similar style. Thanks.

Just watched a group of cyclists pedal through Midtown. Does anyone here happen to know what group/club this is and how one could join?

Our AC is leaking in the attic. Is it okay to leave the AC on overnight until an AC repair person can come tomorrow?

The storm on Tuesday snapped a palo verde tree in our yard which then knocked over one of our cactuses. Landscapers came yesterday and cleared it up and reset the cactus. I went outside this morning and noticed it has since been knocked back down and a bunch of feathers on it? I’m stumped at what caused it to break in so many places and what the bird feathers had to do with it. Any ideas? I’m bummed our Ring didn’t catch it.

Hi yall, staying in downtown phx and looking for a good romantic vibes restaurant and maybe a speakeasy or cocktail bar for Fri night? Thanks for any suggestions!

These local news casters always bringing the drama when it rains.

The water! Its all the way up the wheels!

Like wtf? Its like what now?

I know the answer is probably no, but I'll ask just in case.

Are there any branches of the post office that also carry older stamps that you might not find in a regular postal branch? I mean, at least a few years old? I want to use some older stamps on some particular letters I'm sending.
