Phoenix, AZ

Always interesting when local reddit posts come back around to being news stories, that invariably someone will share back to reddit.

There is so much great food in the Valley. You really have to drive around for it since we're so spread out, but it's out there.

We went for a hike early Saturday, and we found a 9mm bullet on the trail.

Anyone else ever noticed how charming this house would be somewhere else? It's on Glendale and the west 101. Just by looking at it you can tell it was here before anything else was built around It. My grandpa moved out here in the '50s to start drilling wells when there wasn't much around. I've posted a picture before of my Aunt Nancy as a young girl standing in barren desert where 19th avenue Indian School is. My grandpa said one day he talked to the owner of this house and asked him if he was ever going to sell. The guy said when he was a young boy he could jump over the pine trees that now grow tall all around the property. He couldn't bring his heart to do it. The pines tower around his farmhouse like impotent sentinels trying to remain noble.

Haven't checked it out yet but heard good things. Hoping to get out there and give it a look.

Just testing the posting.

Literally the day i was going to post about this on r/phoenix, someone else posted their experience with waymo, so i didnt bother. But it was a fun ride, and a very cool and surreal experience. I love our psuedo sci-fi world. 😄

Also, does lemmy not have spellcheck?

Still pretty new to Lemmy myself so figuring things out. say Hey here, make a post, or do whatever you want.
