What up Aussie brah? I wanted to help you out with your trip to AZ. Mill Avenue is the epicenter for ASU. It is a ~.5 km long street loaded with bars, sloots, and restaurants. This is where most of the college kids are. About 10 minutes(driving) to the north is Old town. Old Town is a longer strip ~1.5km with more bars and restaurants. I would have to guess that the ages range from 21-30+. If you had to stay at one place I would suggest finding somewhere to stay in Old Town. The good news is that both of these locations are about 10-15 minutes away from the airport.

The only problem that I see is that of transportation. We do have buses, but they are crappy. Not sure what your financial situation is, but it would make things a lot easier if you can rent a car. If you get a car you can drive 25 min north to the gun range. 3-4 hour drive will take you to the Grand Canyon.

forgot Burrito Shack

was recently introduced to burrito shack. was legit as fukk.

[jmal2000]

is phoenix a good place for a tourist ******* like me to visit?

reps for good answers, stuff to do? etc.

going in january btw, possibly from texas

Arizona is no Las Vegas or Los Angeles, nightlife is way better there than here. Arizona people are vapid of personality compared to most major cities.

This. Even though I agree with what all these guys are saying about mill/old town, the reality is I wouldn't suggest AZ for a major tourist destination. If you're coming all the way over from Aussieland, I would suggest going somewhere more unique/interesting than Arizona.

as for these two, i would have already been to the 'touristy' places by then. the last 4 weeks will most likely be texas, az, maybe new mexico, and possibly a little room for a place we loved and want to go back to from the 1st 4 weeks. any recommendations in your guys experience would be appreciated!

[fishnbrah]

brah, AZ is the best, we got it all. just come here, you'll have fun

[jmal2000]

If you haven't hit the northwest, I'd def recommend checking out Portland or Seattle. If you are dead set on wild wild west, Texas and Arizona hell yeah. New Mexico is a flyover state tho.

If you get the time, check out Sedona.

Grew up in the PNW and unless you are into skiing then the best time to be there is over, its getting cold and wet now. The summers are AMAZING but now its just kinda depressing.
I think AZ has some fun places to check out but I tend to agree if your coming from Australia then it might be best to just spend a few days.

i would trade az or texas for san diego beaches any day. But if you come to AZ id hit up mill for sure if ur gonna party if not there is a lot of nice resorts and stuff and the sun is always out.

thanks man, but not sure about the weather in san diego in january?
im guessing probably similar to az?

oh probably colder especially in the morning and night. not beach weather, but the bars by the beach are always cool. I guess az would be good if you are by the pool even though it might be a hit or miss.

Sad but true. The natives (which are rare) have no distinguished traits lol...

Very strong list! Mirin' your itinerary. Like someone else said, would check out the PNW, preferably Seattle, although weather might be sht. I liked visiting DC as well, although it may not hold the same appeal to you as a non-American.

As for AZ, the Sedona suggestion was a good one, and maybe you could work in the Grand Canyon as well. Yes, touristy as fuark. But still pretty impressive to see in person.

[petrucci_m3]

The 24 hour on val vista and elliot? I used to train there everyday

Yep!

Pretty legit place. My home one isn't open 24 hours on the weekend so I head over there.

[BluePenance]

interesting thanks brah.

hawaii

Which island you heading to?

If it's Oahu then hit me up with a PM and I can tell you what's good to see out there, moved from there to AZ just over a month ago.

When's the weather gonna start being consistently colder?
It's only been semi-cold breezes like a day out of the week. It'd be nice to have that everyday since I bike to work.

Dont't know that i've ever worn a sweatshirt before Thanksgiving, it finally gets cold in December. Of course this depends where you're located.

Story and pro-tip: Took my mom to Lux & Pane Bianco in central phx, now she is pretty much convinced this is the greatest city on earth. Srs, she's been pink-knighting me on txt ever since.

Lunch-date a girl there for maximum gains.

e: also strong lunch place is Cibo. Sandwich & salad for $8 last I was there.

[yoitspmart]

Anyone down to go find some sloots dressed as slootier sloots and for an AZ Misc halloween barcrawl this weekend ?

Lux is a popular location for the phx reddit group and I'm pretty sure there is a redditor that runs the Pane Bianco, funny coincidence.

Any1 ever meet chain metal soda guy before? These two should team up

I'm getting pretty sick and tired of 24 Hour Fitness' 45 plates. They make deadlift (obviously favorite day) annoying as **** because the plates don't in place when you're pulling and most of the time you have to reset and realign the bar so you're not pulling crooked.

What other 24 hour gyms out there in Phoenix are decent and somewhat affordable. Thinking of making the switch to Liftetime, but the price tag for me (student) is a little steep. I pay 26.99 at the moment.

Anything with bumper plates and/or a lot of squat racks?

Maybe just man up and keep doing my thing.
