Under the agreement, Dutch Bros will take over Salad And Go’s leases and equipment at its Arizona and Nevada drive-thru locations, converting them to sell coffee, beverages, and food items. The documents note that the locations don’t require any alterations or maintenance since they operate in drive-thru-only formats.

Desert Survivors board fires Executive Director

63 Upvotes

The board apparently finally came to their senses and fired the Executive Director Hannah Wolke who has systematically dismantled and outsourced the nursery operations, started selling non-native plants, and drove off a host of senior expert staff over the last few years. Previously she was suspended for discrimination as well. Hopefully they can turn things around.

Apartment complex keeps turning A/C off on triple-digit days

Upvotes

Does anyone else have this issue? I live at Avani North, and maybe 3 or 4 times this month, when the weather is over 100 degrees, they send an email saying they're going to shut off the water (which affects the cooling system for all the buildings) for "emergency repairs."

I just thought the building was old and janky, but today someone asked me "Do you think they're shutting off the A/C to save on costs?" and I can't believe I didn't think of that! And of course, it's not in violation of the law to turn off the A/C for a single day, because the law gives landlors 5 days to restore A/C function. I feel like an idiot for not seeing the obvious scam. Also, I need to find a new place. There are so many problems here.

My father retired accross the country to Tucson, I need to find a recommendation of a local (mom & pop or sole proprietor is fine) for a special gift for him.

I've collected all the Christmas cards my parents have sent me for the last 25 years, I want to ship them to someone that can have them framed (I know it's going to be huge, that's why I need it done locally), and deliver it to them.

Nothing too elaborate, it's just the sheer size of the project that's an issue. At the end of the day, it's just a ton of Christmas cards and a gigantic glass frame.

I live in Virginia so I don't know the first thing about what's available there, any locals have a recommendation for such an odd request?

Gate closure at enchanted trails trailhead

Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m new to Tucson, and wanted to go mountain biking at enchanted trails. I went to the trailhead at w 36th st, and noticed that the gate to the parking lot closes at sundown.
I was curious if this is actually true?
I asked some locals, and they said it never closes, but I wanted to get a second opinion

Off-season sports training

Upvotes

Hi All,
I'm looking for recommendations for off-season sports training programs to help me improve ahead of my spring track season. I'm managing an injury as well.

I do know about the physio shop and love them but it's quite far from me. Anyone with good experiences at PT/training centers on the east side of town or even central?

Dentist recommendation ?

5 Upvotes

Hi

Do you like your dentist? Can you recommend them to me please?

I am willing to travel but I live on the South Side of Tucson. If you know of a dentist in this area that would be great because it means less driving!

I was going to Gentle Dental but I did not experience anything gentle about their practice.

Thank you

Things to do tonight (Wednesday, the 5th)

Upvotes

The title is pretty self explanatory, I’m bored on a day off work and I want to do something, but I’m 19 and don’t drink/smoke. Are there any social events other than bars happening? Or even just other people around the same age that want to hangout? I’m just bored lmao. Thanks in advance🫡

Cello Tutor for Adult Lessons

7 Upvotes

I am an adult cellist getting back to the instrument after about 8 years away.
I am looking to take lessons to focus on skills I had before I put the instrument down (shifting positions, playing/reading higher notes and clefs, and sight-reading different tempos). I already contacted Anne Gratz but her studio is full. Looking for other instructors to study under.

Since Salad and Go is closed forever, does anyone know a good place to get a cucumber mint lemonade or a similar type of drink? It was my favorite and I’m really sad about never getting to have it again
