hi everyone! my friend is currently looking for a job right now and has been applying to a ton of listings but no luck yet. i figured id make a post here for her to see if there was anything local people recommended.

she has years of experience in customer service and managing a team. she prefers full-time but will take part-time as well. we live more east so the closer the better!

thank you!

Had no idea we even got termites here in Mesa, but after my pest control people kept nagging me for termite inspection, I caved. Sure as shit, we got termites eating my wooden fence in my back yard and a dead tree stump, both too close to my house for comfort. I wouldn’t have believed them if they don’t physically pry apart the crumbling wood and the nasty white and black bugs in there. Ugh.

$1800 treatment and prevention plan, but how common are these guys in Mesa? Should I tell my neighbors?

I’m a current graduate student at ASU running a local usability study involving adolescents. We’ve tried Facebook groups and Boy Scout troops but still have under the required sample size.

Where else can we recruit adolescents? Or any other suggestions from parents and locals? The schools are not as responsive and it’s difficult to disperse the information.

Any ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance!

Hi. I’m looking for a mechanic in Mesa or surrounding area. I need to replace suspension control arm, lower both. AAA quoted me over $1K. Are they that expensive?.. Thank you.

I currently live in Glendale but am looking to move to the tempe/mesa/chandler area to get closer to work. What are good apartment options for $1500 and 2 bedrooms if any?

Can I get a ticket in the mail after being flashed 2 times on a turn that was yellow and then turned red the middle of it? (I think…) i got off of north university and north power road off of a Dairy Queen. The light was yellow and as soon as I start turning to get through the yellow light, camera behind me got it and the one in front of me had a flash too. But I know it was yellow and hoping my mind wasn’t just wasn’t being stupid. I’m 17 and I really don’t want a ticket and making my dad pay higher insurance of why he is already paying and get my a$$ beat. Please let me know thank you

I’ve noticed it for awhile, and curiosity finally got the best of me. It was lit up tonight as well.

Anyone in east Mesa hear load booms. Kinda like bombs?

I am east baseline and hawes

I hate to phrase it this way, but what are some of the lower costs vet clinics for just plain cat checkups and regular vet visits, etc. I don’t mind paying but I don’t need fancy.

Willing to drive to Gilbert/Chandler. Just looking for a solid place with nice suits!

I have a swarm that has decided to make a home in one of the exterior walls of my house. My normal pest control company won’t do it because they are inside the wall and recommended someone. They didn’t come and give me an estimate yet but I looked on their website and normal bee relocation was about $300. It does not include anything other than relocating and that was for an exterior hive. Is this a normal price? I’ve never had this happen before so just trying to get some advice. Thanks!

Maria Lewis, 32 and a married mother of seven children, apparently arrived home from her DoorDash shift smelling of alcohol in the early morning of Saturday 2/28/26. Documents state that she had a confrontation with her husband (perhaps he was upset she had been driving under the influence) around 2:00am, which led her to leave the home in a state of anger. She then somehow alighted upon a neighbor’s front door and began banging and yelling, for reasons that aren’t fully clear.

This neighbor, Dulance Morin, a married father and special agent with the Attorney General’s Office, was awoken by his door being banged and yelling outside (which he thought sounded like a man’s voice) in the middle of the night. Mr. Morin’s wife called 911 given the disturbance at 2:44 a.m. waking up everyone in the home. It is then stated that Mr. Morin got dressed, obtained his firearm and approached the door, which he claims was being violently jostled causing the deadbolt to move (no damage to the door was observed by reporting officers that morning). He then told Ms. Lewis to leave, yelling that he had a gun and would use it if someone tried to enter.

Ms. Lewis apparently responded she was armed as well, and one of Mr. Morin’s children heard this statement.

At some point shortly thereafter, Mr. Morin’s gun was discharged and Ms. Lewis perished. Only one casing was found; it is not clear if additional rounds were spent.

Ms. Lewis’ husband told the tv news a much different account: he didn’t mention any fight between he and his wife, and simply noted she was a night owl who frequently went for late night/early morning walks during the weekends. A friend of the deceased stated similarly—she walks at night in the safe neighborhood often (although rarely that late).

It is unclear why Ms. Lewis alighted upon this specific neighbor’s home; there is no medical confirmation as to whether she was under the influence that night, had any issues with drinking or anger management, or what exactly prompted her to reportedly engage in such strange behavior. It is also unclear what occurred in the moments before Mr. Morin shot his gun.

Mesa PD investigated for a couple weeks and recommended felony charges on 3/13/26, however MCAO sent the case back for further investigation. The documents mentioned above were obtained by the AG’s office but they’ve recused themselves from the formal investigation given the conflict of interest. I presume they simply spoke to Morin and his family, but it is curious the discrepancy between Lewis’ husband statements in their documents (about the alcohol fueled fight) vs what he told the news (mother out for a typical 2:30am weekend walk).

If anyone has any additional information about this case I would be curious.

From what I have read this seems like a justifiable killing but there is a lot to flesh out. The fact police referred for felony charges after two weeks of investigation is stunning. Makes me think there is significant information in the doorbell camera that sheds Morin in a less than favorable light.

Hello I’m moving to AZ in mid June and was looking for apartments as I’m starting med school in July. Any recommendations on apartments to look into? I’ve never lived in an apartment before/ lived alone so this would be new to me. I would even consider outside of Mesa. I want in unit laundry too and my budget preferably is $1,300. Also is there anywhere I should avoid? TIA
