Ideas
Hello. I posted a couple of days ago with questions about the nightlife/craft/art scene in Phoenix. Thanks for the answers. Just a few follow up questions now. Again, answers very much appreciated, you have no idea how little I know about the southwest in general, much less Arizona and its cities.
NUMBER ONE
In May I'll be starting up at one of the local newspapers. I was wondering if anyone could send me some story ideas, I know this sounds contrived, but really, it helps a good deal. What are some of the things in your community that don't get attention that you think needs some? That could be cool people, neat businesses, problems (with anything you can think of (roads, bugs, animals, maybe a house has been robbed continuously)). Anything unique that maybe you'd like to learn more about...I want to explore it not only for myself because I'll be new to the community, but it'll be great for me if I can arrive fully stocked with some good ideas for story writing.
NUMBER TWO
I'm looking for apartments. I've never really had to do this before and am finding out now just what a pain in the ass it is. I'd rather not live in a gated pool community...instead a duplex or fourplex someplace in Tempe or in between Tempe and Scottsdale. Any recommendations...or any private landlords that could pointed out for me? I'm looking to budget myself at no more than $650 a month for rent, to give an idea.
NUMBER THREE
I'm from the east. Is there anything I should be thinking about in regards to my car before moving out there? There isn't some fluke thing like different types of tires or something is there?
Thanks!
