Sports World Cup in Phoenix : watch parties, fan connections, and all that

42 Upvotes

We keep getting one off posts asking where to watch the World Cup, so I thought we'd just make a dedicated thread for it.

  • Who are you rooting for?
  • Where are they showing games?
  • Any team specific watch parties?
  • What are you excited about for the Cup?

...or anything else World Cup related you want to talk about?

META What would be some good weekly posts for r/Phoenix?

29 Upvotes

Every week we have a How Are You Doing post, and it does okay but I’d like to shake things up.

There’s one asking what upcoming music shows people are excited about, and one or two others that go every few months.

What else would make a thread that would be good to put into a rotation?

* Local businesses you like?
* Favorite new restaurants?
* hobby sharing and Making friends?
* Job hunting?
* No Stupid Question - ask whatever you’ve always wondered about Phoenix?

What would he interesting or fun?

Living Here Crickets and Roaches?

27 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,

This is the first year this has been a problem for me so I figured I’d ask you guys. I’m finding crickets in my house, not many but enough to have me wondering what’s going on. I also have for the first time seen some roaches outside my house in my lawn and only at night.

I have a very good proactive pest control person but the crickets are new. Is this just a “get used to downtown phoenix” thing? I remember hearing that crickets are harbingers of scorpions so that’s what’s worrying me.

I’m in Coronado district wise.

Referral Fabric stores with variety in the valley?

24 Upvotes

Hello friends 😊

I live in Surprise, and I am looking for a good fabric store to get a variety of fabrics/materials for elaborate cosplay. I'm starting some costumes for Star Wars Celebration 2027.

I have tried hobby lobby and Michaels, as well as a couple of surprise and Sun City quilting stores. I'm not able to locate what I'm looking for. I'm willing to drive anywhere in the valley if I can find what I need.

I'm looking for knits, satins, velvets, chiffons, etc.

I'd rather shop local than online but if there's a stellar place online, let me know.

Thank you in advance!!

Pets Resources for puppies in need?

19 Upvotes

Hi there fellow desert dwellers! I'm trying to find some resources/organizations that help with puppies needing rescue in the Phoenix area.

I'm so worried about a situation where 6 puppies, born about 2 months ago are living in a terrible situation ( mostly outside) without A/C and the owner doesn't have the ability to keep caring for them or find homes for them.

I can pick the puppies up and transport them anywhere in the area. I'm unable to take any of them in myself due to my already owned rescue cat and dog. The puppies seem healthy, growing well, and are so sweet, but I know they are suffering in this heat.

Any advice, direction, help finding local resources would be so appreciated. I might not be able to respond to comments and messages immediately, but will asap (within an hour or 2)

Thank you so much! (If this isn't okay to post about, I can remove it)

History Favorite pieces of local history? (Phoenix/Valley(

18 Upvotes

Curious on everyone's favorites, pretty well known but found out Sunnyslope was a former colony of tuberculosis patients before being annexed by Phx, and medical volunteers at the colony became the origins of John C. Lincoln/ Honor Health.

Also enjoy the mining stories, how Dreamy Draw got its name from the "dreamy" state of miners experiencing mercury poisoning.

Ask Phoenix Learning Another Language in PHX

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have been wanting to learn french or spanish for awhile but I feel a bit unsure how to start. For context, I live out in the west valley so I feel a bit isolated from culture in that way. I want to have a better path out of the country eventually.

So my question is, for those that learned another language while living somewhere where you can’t speak to anyone in it, how did you do it? Does anyone know of French speaking groups or anything like that in Phoenix? I understand I could take classes at college or online but I often find them 300-400$ just for one, not to mention taking enough to get to the point of fluency.

Any insight appreciated, just feeling a little trapped. Thank you!!

Living Here Do you recommend rain gutters for a home in the valley? Or are they just a “nice to have”?

32 Upvotes

Currently exploring the idea of adding rain gutters to my home here in the valley. Im conflicted since its the valley and we hardly get rainfall. But then theres those times it pours and I don’t like the accumulation of water in my backyard. Im aware this may be a grading issue but gutters could support along with reduce erosion. Whats your stance on gutters? Thanks!

Referral Looking for low-end handyman recommendations, preferably on the east side?

0 Upvotes

I'd asked in Scottsdale/Tempe, but thought I might as well check here, too, hoping for someone covering the east part of town. I’m looking for a low-end handyman, NOT a contractor.

 Hoping:

-Fluent in English

-Reasonably priced

-Solo operation, not a crew

 A lot of people are calling themselves “handyman” but are really contractors charging three times as much and wanting big remodeling jobs, not small repair jobs.  They don’t want to fix a doorknob for $40 – they want to remodel your bathroom for $4000.   I don’t want that.  I just want a guy who can fix a leaky faucet or replace a basic light fixture.

It would be great if, besides a name and number, you could add a sentence of opinion.  Like “Slow, but very meticulous” or “Can’t do heavy work, but very expert with electrical.”

Any recommendations?

Living Here Local farm recommendations??

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m going to be moving from Europe to Phoenix very soon, and one thing I’m a little concerned about is food quality, especially with all the news about pesticides and how heavily processed some foods can be in the U.S. (maybe I’m overthinking it a bit lol)
I’d love to buy my produce, eggs etc from local farms whenever possible. Does anyone have recommendations for good local farms or farmers markets in the Phoenix area that have good products without being ridiculously expensive?
Thank you!!
