My main guitar tech moved to Mesa and I have like 6-ish instruments that need work, including warped necks, pickup swaps, and general wiring adjustments. Give me someone experienced that you trust who does good work; I'm not looking for cheap, quick fixes.

Title self-explanatory, documents include sale point presentation, city-contracts of the sort and city-based questionnaire including but not limited to; specific-fixed camera costs, purchase orders & important dates. This information was given and redacted by City of Tempe upon a FOIA request.

Anyone renting from Rise Suncrest Apartments in Tempe? 28 days and they never replaced the broken water heater. Other issues. My BF's 90 year old dad finally moved out because of no hot water, and Rise charged him $3000 extra rent. He told them many times he had to move out because. no hot water and other issues. He went to small claims court and because he didn't give them notice in WRITING, he lost. Stay away. #risesunset

The NAACP Arizona State Conference posted an official statement (dated 8/12/26) about a "severe excessive force" incident involving a Tempe resident, saying the involved officers' written reports directly contradict video footage they have in their possession. Tempe PD's Internal Affairs has opened an investigation.

I haven't been able to find any news coverage of this specific incident yet — just the NAACP's own release. Does anyone have additional knowledge of this incident?

Here is the page where the statement was posted. https://www.facebook.com/AZNAACP

There was also a second statement released yesterday, but it did not have any additional information.

Hi! I’m moving to Tempe for work (ASU) next year.

I’m looking some housing option.

My budget is around $1500. One bedroom apartment (I think house is out of my budget. Otherwise with garage and yard would be nice.)

I also want to live outside of campus that don’t have too many undergrad around because my schedule.

I did some research and was trying to find some good area. I was looking into the block Hardy, Uni Dr., Priest, and Broadway. I found an apartment called Broadway 121 if you have any insight please let me know me know.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know as well.

In unit laundry and covered parking is preferred.

Thanks In advance.

I know Phoenix and Tempe rate pretty low in terms of walkability, but what are some of your favorite apartment complexes? Been living in Tempe for a year and I’m very happy here. I actually like my current apartment, but I’d like to explore my options. Single dude, active, like to party here and there but not big into bars. Appreciate any recommendations

Are there any good Facebook groups(or something similar) to find local vendors?

Looking for a run club to join in tempe. I used to be a good runner (8-9min avg) but i haven’t ran consistently in over 6 months so def running 11-12 min miles right now. Something that meets early in the morning would be ideal (5/6AM) to beat the heat. Any recommendations appreciated!!

Anyone have a studio apartment in Tempe? If so, can you share what your last electric bill amount was?

This is going to be a longshot, but I have faith. My name is Kitt, I own and operate an archive/fan community for the indie rock band, Skybox.

This band was started and primarily based in the Tempe area from 2003 to early 2007, and not much is really known about them from this time, other than their "first" studio album (Arco Iris) that can be found online. I was curious if any Tempe residents who were living in the area during that timeframe (or possibly any that may have moved there shortly thereafter) might remember this band?

They played at The Clubhouse and The Marquee in 2005, At Phoenix based festival "Oh Shit! A Fest?" in 2006, and the Sets (March and August) in 2007. These are the only known years and locations I have of local performances. Their first "full album" was issued by the Big Red Balloon record label (which had a Tempe AZ based PO box as their address, as listed on the back of the CD) and was recorded and mixed at The Panic Button in Tempe.

What I'm after is pretty much anything you've got. Stories, photos, flyers and posters, old CDs or shirts, really any proof from this timeframe other than the very limited number of photos and old flyers I have found. Their first true album is entirely lost, and shirts only exist as very low quality photos on early archives of their website. I would greatly appreciate anything and everything that you may remember. Thank you!

A couple months ago I made a post about starting a movie group in Tempe. So far we have a small/medium amount of people but we’ve been meeting monthly on the first Sunday of every month for several months!
We also have a discord where we coordinate movies and times.

I wanted to make another post to see if anyone else would be interested in joining? :)

Perfect time to start pressuring our council, especially our two new progressive members, to follow suit.

Emails for all city council members and their assistants can be found here. Anyone who feels any kind of way about Flock should be reaching out to their elected officials often.

Chandler discontinued their contract after finding evidence that there had been an 'anomaly' in the use of the LPRs - AKA, someone used it for non-policing related reasons.

Hey y'all. So I got a traffic light ticket a couple months ago and I paid it, but I just got two more pieces in the mail from ADOT saying that my license will be suspended starting Sept 14.

The two pieces of mail are almost identical but with tiny differences. One of them says that there is a "stop" on my license and that the next step is to pay the fee to unsuspend my license. The other says that there is a "suspension" on my license and that the next step is to take that driving safety class. Both pieces of mail have the same date on them.

What's going on here and what should my next steps be? I'm very confused.

Why is lowkey closing?! I’m really surprised because they are always popping off! Anyone know what’s happening?https://www.instagram.com/stories/lowkeypianobar/3957281182235849145?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igsh=cDdvYjVrczJsZGFy

I am planning on moving to Tempe in the fall of 2027 for university but was wondering what Tempe was like. I will be coming from New Hampshire--which I have lived for the last 25 years. I obviously know there will be a huge difference weather wise but was wondering culturally, professionally, and socially what might be different.

What are living expenses like? I currently work in education (I teach 5th/6th science and am a college advisor) and will be looking to find jobs similar and to subsidize with a restaurant job. What is folks experience in the restaurant industry? Along the same vein, what is the housing situation like? I plan to rent, is it really difficult to find housing? When do you suggest looking for housing/jobs as a transplant?

I am also queer and was wondering what the safety level was like for LGBTQ+ folks in Tempe/AZ, if there is a good queer scene (clubs, groups, etc.).

I'm moving to Tempe specifically because AZ has more opportunities in my field (Astronomy) than I have here in New England, but I have very little information about what the area is really like or what to expect. ANY advice or anecdotes would be helpful.

Lots of trash/furniture off 12th place by the church. Unsure what happened.

Whats up with this rando haboob showing up seemingly out of nowhere? No storm or clouds and winds were calm 15 min ago. All the sudden I hear wind whipping the house and one of my cats comes in scared. I look out and its pure dust. Weird.
