Hey ATOT, we're going to Phoenix tomorrow for a graduation, we'll be there the whole weekend. Any Phoenix residents know what to do there for fun? Does it have a nightlife? etc.

Depends on what you're looking for. Go up to Scottsdale for the club action (little older crowd) or go in to Tempe for a more laid-back college feel. They're working on downtown but it's just not up there yet. (lived there for the past 7 years, moved in May)

Nah its been nice this week, only 93 degrees today.

Nightlife is in scottsdale or tempe

Scottsdale = Pussy Cat Lounge, Drift, Myst, etc.
Tempe = Mill Ave (Mill cue club, zuma room, rula bula, fat tuesday, the big bang, library)

Im impartial towards tempe because I basically live right next to all of the above bars.

If you want eye candy, expensive drinks, and gold diggers, go to scottsdale.
If you want a good time with a bunch of drunk ass college students, go to tempe.

I personally enjoy a blue moon at rula bula in the back, then I move on to mill cue club for 2 dollar red stripes!!

Sweat.

It's a huge city with lots to do, narrow it down a little. You could go so the Grand Canyon, that's a day trip.

Don't do that. AC's are hot, they are kept outside, and they vent out alot of hot air.
Stay inside with that said AC running.

there are a lot of small and large bars and clubs in the area between scottsdale mall and scottsdale fashion square

myst, axis/radius, i thought plc you needed an invite (not sure) and a ton of the smaller bars. a lot of hot chics in the early 20s-mid 20s, you need to go further north for the older crowd.

if that is not your scene go south on scottsdale road, it will turn into rural rd (same rd, just a different name). take that to a road directlly south of the "tempe town lake" called rio salado pkwy. you will be heading south on scottsdale/rural so make a right on rio salado pkwy. drive around the stadium until the next major road, which will be called "Mill Ave", make a left and probably find a place to park and walk around.

nice topless bars - on scottsdale rd between scottsdale and tempe:
babe's cabaret
skin cabaret (i like skin better, but that is just me)

they are a couple miles apart on the east side of scottsdale road going, more in south scottsdale, south of the road called "thomas rd" (you may want to look them up, haven't been there in a while)

another good topless club in phx is bourbon street circus - extremely hot women work there

hope this helps :)

My younger sister lives just outside of Phoenix.


Years ago, she described a man to me as "having hair on every square inch of his body except his head". She is now married to that man.

A few weeks ago she called and told me that they bought a hot tub. She pointed out that the next time I go to their place, I'll be able to join them... I still have nightmares over the idea of this event taking place, and I plan to never return to my sister's house again.

Let me know if you're interested, and I can hook you up. :D


BTW, they're big people.

A large majority (and all the most recent) killings and attacks of the Baseline Killer are in the 40th st and Thomas area. Not Baseline.

Things to do during the day? Take a day trip to Sedona, or the Grand Canyon. There isn't much to do outside during the summer months (during the day i mean).

They sold it or renamed it (can't remember what). Just didn't have the same ring anymore.

They've been kind of moving all over the valley actually. The cops become concentrated in one area so the killers move somewhere else. They've gone from West Phoenix to East Phoenix/Scottsdale, and that's a huge stretch of area.

North Phoenix hasn't been hit yet, it probably will be if they aren't caught soon.
