Hey all, I'm making a post for a family friend who doesn't use Reddit. Does anyone know of any private landlord or any second chance apartment complexes that will take someone with a 3 year old eviction? Any and all resources are welcome!

Looking to rent in las sendas for a bit before buying, but one thing gave me pause, which is the HOA states:

Garages must be used for motor vehicles before anything else. Large trucks are an exception and can be parked in the driveway.

The place we’re looking at is a 2 car garage and we have two cars. But las sendas homes seem to lack storage quite a bit, so we’d like to use half the garage for storage and just keep my car parked in the driveway.

Will they fine me for this or is it generally ok?

Last night around 10pm I was assaulted on the south side of the canal between Mesa drive and Center and North of Brown.

It was called in, and I went through the motions with the police, fire, and crime scene photographer. I was talking to my partner who lives in Prescott at the time. The assailant hit me from behind with a punch and continued to pummel me as I went to the ground making a lot of noise.

Scuffed up, a headache, and I lost a little backpack of water. It could have been much worse if he used a weapon to send me down. Anyway, be careful out there late at night, I didn't think it could happen to me as a strong 6.1 man.

I was walking on the less-lit side of the canal, oblivious to my surroundings as I was on a call with earphones, and yeah... That sucked.

The local enforcement showed up fast, 911 dispatched fast, fire was there to check vitals, and I got a ride home, about 2 miles from there.

I walk in this area often over the years and will continue to do so, but I'll be on the sidewalk side now at night, not consumed by earphones, and stay vigilant.

At 52, the entire crews are so much younger nowadays, lol. They are doing things well though and show up in force. If you are assaulted, then be calm and stay the prices with 911 and initiate a response from the City to those who think they can prey on us.

Hey all! I am searching up and down for a stylist rn. I rarely do anything to my hair ever since growing out my Mohawk and color a few years ago. I get a few inches off maybe once a year and am currently looking for my go to products including shampoo and conditioner.

I have had a variety cut and color combinations starting at 13. I had a stylist in the family before I started doing my own cut and colors from Sally’s products. My hair is currently at my shoulder blades, fine—but people say I have a lot… I do not feel the same however, about a level five brown naturally. Untouched for years due to work needing natural color and professional styles. I rarely even use heat (maybe a handful of times a year, if that). I was it every 2-4 days depending on oil levels.

I feel like there is slight texture to my hair, though it easily turns straight and frizzy and to maintain hair health I’ve just been putting it up so it can grown and do its own thing until I was ready to commit. So here I am! I am ready to learn and commit. Though there were stylist in my lift as a child, I did not learn much. I’d like to find a regular stylist to go to for cuts and would love for them to be into coloring hair as well. I like vivids a lot but I want to give blonde a chance bc my hair is a clean canvas so why not do blond before color?

I can be shy or outgoing. I’d like someone I can talk easily and comfortably with. I am working on self love in the form of caring what I look like a little more. Not what others think I look like. No. I want to find my esthetic. A little confidence and personality. I’m doing this for me. I used to always do a full face of makeup up, a different lipstick for every day of the month. Cute outfits and everything. But I moved out here out of necessity and lost a bit of that sparkle. Covid happened, I think as in an accident, and depression. I have gained so much weight. If been so focused on stabilizing my life and hitting goals, I’ve neglected a part of myself and I feel that shows now that I’m trying to socialize more.

I didn’t grow up with a mom. I need someone to help me learn to embrace my feminine side. So I’m starting that journey with my hair:)

Just moved to Mesa from Tempe and been wanting to try a bunch of different places to find our new local go to’s! So far we’ve gone to:
- Golden Valley
- Naynay’s
- Cornish Pasty
- Pierogi Kitchen
- Georges Wildberries
- Kungfu Noodles
And they’ve all been great! What great places am I missing out on?

Edit: Not looking for anything fancy!

Hi i'm looking for an evening position starting asap. Thanks!

I am looking for a private nail tech in and around mesa who cares about nail health and preferably offers builder gel of hard gel. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Hi friends and neighbors!
Anyone have any ideas of where I could advertise our townhouse for sale? The market (and world in general) is a little crazy right now so we could really use some help. Of course, our realtor is working her magic, I’m just trying to do a little extra on my own.

It’s on University and Dobson on a quiet little dead end street that is kind of “hidden in plain sight” and away from the chaos of the busy intersection. So, although we do have a “for sale” sign, we don’t get much foot traffic. Our listing has had a lot of traction online, but we’re having a hard time getting people to come see the house either in private appointments or in open houses. I’m trying to think of physical bulletin boards or online communities I could post in, since most don’t allow for advertising.

If anyone has ideas to help draw some people in to open houses, that would be helpful too. Is there something that would entice you to attend an open house, in addition to/aside from the house itself? A raffle basket? Free popcorn? A kissing booth with my dog in it?

It would be an awesome place for a small family, a student, a snowbird, or an investor. It’s super close to everything and a very low maintenance house on a quiet street with amazing neighbors. Any ideas would be awesome, thanks !!

(Also pls forgive my formatting, I’m on mobile)

Hello! I am looking for somewhere to take my 15 year old daughter to get her ears pierced. I do not want a Claire's style gun piercing. Id prefer a licensed piercer. Any places that allow a teen to get their ears done with their parent present? Preferably East Mesa but will travel.

I’m in town next weekend and I was wondering if there are any bars that show the English Premier League matches? It’s the final game of the season, kick off is at 8am MST so I’m guessing not every sports bar will be open. Any help would be appreciated!

Been scared of guns for a long time but trying to get out of my comfort zone this year. Anyone know a good beginner-friendly shooting range? Preferably somewhere that offers a quick intro or lesson. Not really trying to commit to multiple sessions yet, just want to try it and see how it feels.

Appreciate any recs 🙏

In the market for a new car, have been eyeing carvana but am curious about local dealerships. Any word on Ideal Cars? Last year I bought a 2013 Chevy Malibu from Autonation Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in North PHX that I ended up having to put $1k into for repairs a month or two into owning it. Looking for recommendations for good dealerships

Hello, I didn't see a mega thread or FAQ so hope this is ok.

I'm moving to Mesa for work from Texas. I've never been to Arizona before, and this will be my first time living in a different state for the first time in 10+ years.

I'm looking at apartments in either Woodland Heights or Parkwood Ranch. I was surprised at how pricey 1 room apartments were, but I guess that's the norm these days. Any opinions/thoughts on these areas?

Is there anything I should know/be prepared for as an out-of-stater? How is the food scene? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone bought and built recently in Hawes Crossing under TM? We just signed paperwork and I was curious what the realistic timeline is for move in.

Our salesman said 7 months is the average, just curious on other’s experiences!

Also - anyone who lives there now, would love to hear how the neighborhood is treating you so far! We have a young child and hope to meet other young families in the area!

Thanks.

Hey, y'all! I've lived in Mesa my entire life, but I've always wondered what people consider a tourist trap here, or in all of Arizona? Or if not a tourist trap, what's a place that people rave about that isn't that great?

For me, I'd consider Main Burger as one of those places. People rave about it, but it's not that great (in my opinion).

What would you consider Mesa's "tourist trap?"
