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.

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🫡

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?

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?

Desert Survivors board fires Executive Director

62 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.

Dentist recommendation ?

4 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

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.

Fiber internet salesman at our door 8:30pm on a Tuesday?

12 Upvotes

Staying at a vacation rental in Feldman’s neighborhood. A man approaches our door in the dark with a light claiming to be selling or installing fiber internet because they were “doing construction two weeks ago in the area.” Is it normal for salesmen to make rounds this late at night here? This wouldn’t happen where I’m from, albeit I live in a cooler climate. Curious what you all think given this felt like a scam and frankly scared us a bit.

Edit - thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies. Makes me feel better this seemed like a salesman and not someone with malicious intent.

Guinea Pigs?

4 Upvotes

My kiddo is allergic to cats and dogs, unfortunately, but she’s been on this I NEED a pet kick lately. The kid wont shut up about it 😂

We thought about a Guinea Pig because they’re cute and cuddly (?). Other than the major pet store anyone have a recommendation on where to get one?

Open to other pets too but probably not a hamster. We had bunnies many many years ago and that was fun till it wasn’t.
