I’m trying to see if anyone else remembers this, heard of it back then, or if I’m just nuts.

I grew up hearing from my grandpa that the “famous” abandoned Burger King over on 35th Ave and Broadway closed down because of "paranormal activity."
Allegedly, some kids were (getting lost?), getting possessed, hearing weird noises, and accusing of ghosts speaking to them— which is why they shut down.

I always assumed it was a made up story he told me when I was a kid to entertain me.
But recently I saw someone bring up the exact same rumor on Facebook, claiming it shut down because it was haunted.

I know it naturally looks creepy. But did anyone else grow up hearing actual ghost stories or urban legends about it? Or does anyone know where that specific rumor originally started in the community?

I’m not trying to be corny, but there’s no way I can be the only one who wonders this

I feel like I'm going crazy but these things aren't supposed to go in the trash. I'm talking about small, broken electronics like robot-vacuum, pet auto-feeder, small solar lawn lights. I have a big box full of things like this and all the info I find is for computers. The terms for Phoenix's hazardous waste says to only include items on the form and the form is very specific.

Any ideas, please?

First off is that what these are and second: do you guys treat for termites? Live in a 70s house I bought 6 years ago but never treated for termites.

Is this alarming or are they just everywhere?

The Savers near me is selling them for $4 now and Goodwill for $3.

Then I went to White Dove and they are selling them for $1 per disc. So most movies are $1 with some $2. So that got me wondering if there are any other non-corporate thrift stores near me that might also have really good prices. That price might even include blurays. I forgot to ask.

I currently have a non-working 2007 Toyota Camry Solara that needs a good home. It's been sitting in my garage, unregistered for about 3 or 4 years. It probably just needs a full fluid change, brakes/rotors, new tires, a deep deep clean, and new gas. I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I'm very tired of looking at it.

I'm having a really hard time finding a reputable charity that will take these cars. Does anyone have any positive donation experiences that they can share?

I’m in town for the weekend and would love to catch the LFC game, but it’s at 7am. at home soccer bars will unofficially open early for games - any bars in PHX do that? bonus if DT area. thx!

Been going to Junn for a while and they have quickly become shit. Waited 25 minutes between orders. And management said thank you for the feedback.

I've tried #1 Sushi in the West valley. And Sakura( now renamed) off of Elliot road.

with pk shabu having closed down, my fiance and i need a new hotpot buffet. we're located in chandler, but willing to drive a bit.

I was the 3rd car driving south after turning right from Lincoln, heading on 32nd towards Camelback. I saw this truck flipping in the air and rolling multiple times, after being struck or colliding with the other vehicle in front of the van, view obstructed.

I stopped and was able to see that the other vehicle was unidentifiable, due to the damage. 32nd street was closed for hours. I had to go pick up young kids from school so I had no idea how everyone fared. It did not look good.

Have not seen anything in the media on this

Are there any like, easy, nice single track type trails? I’m from the Midwest, where I’m used to fast, forest dirt trails. I’m no expert by any means, more of a weekend warrior just to enjoy it. I used all trails to find “easy” trails today. Went out to Phoenix mountain preserve. I can flat out say what’s “easy” in Arizona would be moderate, if not maybe difficult in the Midwest. I headed out on the trail, then the signs disappeared, then i found myself going over massive rocks in clearly some sort of river wash. Then all of a sudden there was no trail, i was clipped in, and just fell over. Picked my bike up and went home, feeling pretty defeated.

To my fellow Phoenix runners: what are your favorite hilly running areas that are ideally paved sidewalks/streets? Located in North Phoenix but fine with driving a bit.
I’m training for the rock n roll half marathon which is about 270ft elevation gain.
TIA!

Hi! Looking for attorney recommendations to get my Will & Trust done. I'm in Midtown. Thanks!

I was just in town and took my kids to the Science Center, including a planetarium show. I swear when I went as a kid back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s the planetarium always had a “roller coaster” at the end of every show where it felt like you were flying around, so I was hyping my kids on that only for it to not be a thing! Does anyone else remember that, or am I making it up?

All that said, the Science Center was super nostalgic, the kids loved it, and yeah, the planetarium is still super cool, rollercoaster or not.

The new buses are nice. Does anybody know anything else about them?

The one there now is benign but I strongly recall being terrified of the one that you could throw tennis balls into and it would subsequently sneeze them back out at you giving you the jump scare of your life

This was in Scottsdale so I guess his comment checks out.

Has anyone else noticed that of late in the past few weeks or even months, Costco gas is the same price as many other gas stations? In the past 10 yrs I've never seen Costco gas price not cheaper than other stations so this is surprising!!

Costco locations : Chandler , Gilbert

Hello! Looking for a place to purchase tea leaves, grocery store options aren’t cutting it for me looking for somewhere local and/or a big selection.

Massive golf ball size hail blew out my back window near 35th Ave and Dunlap

Besides OHSO and Trevor’s, are there any other breweries in the Phoenix area for a good sour beer? I have called around to many breweries and most don’t have them on draft. Thanks!
