from the last people i talked to that were in the biz, the guy who use to run christies topless (32nd st) didn't work there anymore but runs skin, thus a different person took over and the visual quality of the girls went down - he was picky, but the club kicked a$$ when he was there as does skin now.

also, the one on baseline, never been to it so i can't recommend.

i wouldn't recommend i place i wouldn't drop some $$$ in :D

the last time i was at skin all the girls were in excellent shape and were very nice and attractive.

bourbon, imo, is probably the best - you go in there and you are like -sh!t, women this pretty exist?????? holy sh!t. saturday night at bourbon = heaven on earth :D :D

op - take babes off the list, after thinking about it, whenever i drive by it it is never busy anymore, and i drive by it quite often.

my info could be wrong as i haven't been out in some time due to my injuries, but i will have to get the wife to go soon (as women get much better dances than men, i would rather watch her get the dances :D :D )

Wow, great info guys. Unfortunately, I'll be there with my family, so hitting up topless bars all day wouldn't look too good. :p Anything to do that doesn't involve naked chicks and booze? :p

I think people there just basically wave things in front of their faces to keep cool.

you can float the salt river. nice 4 hour float trip, and the water is cold enough to keep the beer nice and frosty.

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.


Library FTW!

we had a library open up in gainesville, fl a year back.

huge huge flop.

they did so bad that towards the end, they pretty much let the local HS kids in and served them... they shortly got shut down.

Guess it's different out there.

as far as the serial killers - sure they are here, but in reality where are they not? there is always some sick mofos screwing sh!t up somewhere.

not the cleanest water and you will probably get a sunburn. 4hrs in the sun will eat you alive, seriously, then add beer and you will get really f*cked up. don't let the cloudiness fool you - you will still get a nasty burn through them. i also don't think the water would be cool enough to keep beer frosty - most people bring a cooler full of beer with ice, then float it down with them.

since you can't do the club stuff, maybe go to a couple of the malls, most people don't do a lot this time of year because of the high humidity, thus they just stay indoors or go swimming. if you have time you may want to head up north and check out sedona.

what do you like to do and maybe we can help you find places to go?

I didn't get a sunburn , but then i'm half mexican and used some decent sunblock. I also wore clothing, which eventually came off. we broguth a cooler with no ice and the beer stayed cold, but when i went (in late may i think?) the water was really cold, which was great considering it was 110 in the air.

housing is slowing down a bit, but still pretty high - really depends on what part of the valley you want to live. the job market is pretty decent and broad.

Housing is crazy. Our landlord is trying to sell the property that we are renting. Hes asking 320,000. Our lease doesnt end until May, and we only pay 1000/Mo rent.

The average house in the San Fernando Valley (in Cali) is about to be 1million. We bought our house for 175k, and might sell it in a bit for a mil. ;)

This place I am living in was almost half the price about 2 years ago.

Exactly. There are active serial killers in nearly every state, and in every major city. A lot of the crimes just haven't been linked, or are not made public.

There is a WNBA game on Sunday afternoon at 4pm. Not sure if your family is into that..it's pretty entertaining for the kids IMO.

Which malls are the best near Phoenix? We're staying at the Wyndham Hotel. :)
