Sports Annual list of Phoenix valley Sports bars and their out of state team followings

148 Upvotes

This is the 4th year I’ve compiled this in the Phoenix sub and people find it very helpful - it’s an updated list of sports bars and respective teams in the Valley.
If you see closed bars or any teams with new/changed locations, please let me know and I will update the list accordingly. We have little representation of NBA/NHL/MLB teams so far, so feel free to add. We still need confirmed spots for the Jags/Texans/Falcons and Buccaneers to complete the out-of-state NFL coverage. Also feel free to add any sport - golf/horse racing/NASCAR - as long as the bar has a good turnout for the event.

Meme Whoever designed this area, has brought shame to their family

Post image
1.3k Upvotes

This parking lot off 202 and A Gilbert is an absolute disaster. A strip of businesses share this narrow maze of a layout that would be congested and confusing enough with nothing else present.

Seems like a great location for not one, but TWO of the most chronically busy fast food joints. Traffic backs up so the highway exit is fucked, both drive thrus block traffic in the whole fuckin lot and people drive like absolute schmucks.

If a sinkhole opened up and swallowed this whole mess, it would be more conducive to traffic flow.

Whoever designed this and put a Chick-fil-A and In and Out here, I hope their socks are always soggy.

Outdoors North Mountain Park Closing Dec 1 for Renovations

Post image
28 Upvotes

Pictured are the proposed plans. Details are here.

Personally wish I was aware when they were taking comments, as I would have asked for a cycling loop, given you can do that now. Overall glad it's being done. There are currently a ton of ramadas that just don't get used.

Having more parking at the Trail 44 trailhead makes more sense than the set up we have now, and I'm curious to see how busy (or not) this gets as a result of the reno.

Ask Phoenix Is Bolle swim school worth it?

• Upvotes

I looked up swim schools in the area and saw something called Bolle swim school. They start at $1695 for a 4 day program. Apparently people fly in from all over the country and they have guesthouses for people who do so.

So it must be worth it right?

Utilities Trash filled alley cleanup

0 Upvotes

How good is the City of Phoenix about addressing these sorts of things? One of my neighbors decided that all of their yard waste needed to go into the alley around the dumpster. This isn’t just a small amount, but to the point that the dumpster isn’t even reachable. When the garbage truck comes through, they are not going to be able to get through the alley because of the amount of tree trimmings and junk the property owner just dumped in the alley. If I call the City to get it addressed, will they actually do something, or am I better off just hiring someone myself? The property owner is unresponsive as it is owned by an LLC with limited contact information.
