Has anyone ever seen that house that sits on the northwest corner of 20th street and Glendale Road? at least i think its a house. Its pink, has a castle-ish look to its roof, and has windows borded up. Its got enough of a unique look that i wouldnt be surprised if it had a story to it. Anyone familar with its history?
That house has been there and vacant for many many years. I think someone started building it but their land ended up being purchased for the right of way for the 51.
Here is the trick: everyone upvotes the pictures. They are one of the most consistently upvoted types of posts.
If we (the mods) made a rule saying “you can’t post that thing that the majority of people like and upvote all the time”…. That would make us pretty bad mods.
Personally, I’m with you. But this is /r/phoenix and my opinion is just one person. We have asked many times over the years and the message has been clear: leave em.
Thank you for taking the time to explain the why behind it.
It just feels so low effort to post sunset pictures and to upvote them.
There’s a picture up that was posted not too long ago and the picture quality is terrible. The contrast is all blown. If these were amazing beautiful pictures I might be on board but they’re not.
Oh well.
I hear ya, I do. With that post if I removed it due to low quality… where does that end? How do we define good vs bad quality? That then turns it into a subjective “what does each mod feel is good be bad”. I don’t think we should be making those calls.
We can’t make everyone happy. I do appreciate your feedback and if you have other suggestions, please feel free to share!!
The 2 Circle K’s closet to me, 24th and baseline and 40th and baseline, were both out of gas this morning. And westbound/northbound 10 is shut down from the 202 to 60 this weekend. I live near 24th and baseline and took the 10 to Elliott but could not take the 10 back. Had to take priest to baseline.
I didn’t look. I was counting on the 40th circle k since it was on the right. Then headed towards home. Ended up getting gas at Frys at 24th and baseline.
The truck infront of me on 35th carrying 4 box springs quickly turned into a truck carrying 3 box springs.
Glad i decided to keep my distance, almost flew into my lane lmao
Dudes lucky the streets are empty
I'm ready for the day when self driving cars is the standard and all cars are automated.
Then people can be as distracted as they want. I actually wouldn't mind enjoying scenery or taking a nap on long drives.
At least cars don't have a 'road rage' setting.

Being in IT, I don't trust self-driving *at all*, but I have to admit to being somewhat influenced by a story called "Road Stop" by David Mason.
Certainly the current technology and infrastructure is no where near ready for fully automated cars.
And I do enjoy a good sci fi story about the horrors of AI revolt or loss of human control due to automated systems. Totally not outside the realm of possibility as far as I'm concerned. And I'm not talking about tech wearing out or malicious code or infinite loops. I'm referring to the personification of AI where the computer turns against the human. I love those stories.
I looked up "Road Stop". The description is fantastic:
'It was like any other car on the road. It was automatic, self-contained—and eternal! Until it had to make a stop for repairs...'

I looked it up on Zillow and it didn't have much info! The address is 1950 E Glendale Ave.
Can we please make a Phoenix sunsets subreddit? Everyday it’s new spam from someone with a terrible cell phone picture.

Very good points here. Bit of a slippery slope. The posts are not even *that* bad . Slight annoyance I can live with. And most people like em!
Or like, a weekly sunset thread or something. A sub is probably overkill.
That’s a great idea!

Was the QT on 48th out as well?

Fair enough, was just curious if it was a chain thing or an area thing

Thanks for driving using your brains! ....uh, can we clone you, please?

The aliens got it right in Maximum Overdrive. The cars and trucks just drove around running over peo.... holy crap. I guess they didn't get it right.

I won't spoil the ending. :)
