Q: This store is insane. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. My boyfriend and I arrived about 15 minutes before the store opened and I figured we would have to kill some time, but there was a whole mob of people waiting to get in. Seriously, like 100+ people. So we just joined the mob and waited. Then a lady comes out and announces the specials and warns that aggressive shopping will not be tolerated. Wtf?! I'm starting to get anxious - partly because I'm wondering what type of aggressive shopper shops here and also because that must be a sign of good bargains! Well the gate opens and the crowd surges in. Some people actually made a run for it, much to my horror. I hit up the dresses first because they're an additional 40% off today. I pick up 4-5 cute ones by Trina Turk, Calvin Klein and BCBG. I gave them a quick once over because I noticed that a LOT of the clothes here are damaged - from minor snags to a HUGE gash in the butt of a pair of jeans. The jeans here are also all previously worn. Yuck. Next was the shoe section. I love Nordstrom Rack's shoes so I was really excited. Especially when I saw hot pink Manolo Blahnik's for $99. I picked them up, turned them over and they were majorly worn. Like seriously? They must have been worn 100 times and weren't even re-soled. I found more Manolos, Jimmy Choos, Pradas - but they were all worn or broken. Major disappointment. After waiting about 20 minutes to get a dressing room, I was further disappointed to find that half the dresses I picked up had rips and snags that I didn't notice until I tried them on. In the end, the bf found some shirts for like $10 each and I got pair of Sigerson Morrison flats for $29. Was it worth it? Not for me. Now I see why Nordstrom's doesn't put their name on this store. It's a HUGE step down from Nordstrom Rack, it's more like a garage sale.

Q: My husband and I are doing a complete remodel of our property in Scottsdale. Hired Good Guys Electric to completely rewire the property and in the beginning I was very happy with Mike and the work he did. Of course with every job there were a few things that went wrong but they could be corrected. Everything was inspected and passed. Now we are at the stage on this job to have it completed and here is were the problem started. I have since the beginning of October been trying to contact Mike via voice mail, text message and finally had to give him a deadline to answer back. Nothing on his side so I sent an e-mail to the address that I had on record and canceled the contract with him. I do not know what is going on and can only hope that he is able to get back on track but at this time because of all the extra work that this is causing me since I now need to find someone who will be willing to take on a half completed job, I must write this comment so that no one else will be taken by surprise. Always remember to contact the Register of Contractors at rocaz.gov to check on the current status of the business license for any contractor that is working in Arizona.

Q: I stopped in here because it was close to my house and I wanted to switch out my nose ring from a stud to a hoop because it was finally healed. The guy barely said anything, picked a hoop and took me back to the chair, where he proceeded to clamp down a ring into my nose that was a bigger gauge than my piercing. I didn't notice this until the pain!!ouch!! not gentle at all. Then I asked him what gauge it was, sure enough, it was bigger than mine but he claimed it held it's shape better. My nose hurt for days so I had to go to Sadu body modifications in Plaza where those ladies put me in a smaller one and explained how to help it heal from the huge metal clamp. Any longer with that one in that 510 had put and my nostril would be ripping. It looked infected for awhile and had to heal again. Don't walk into a place without reading reviews like I did! Maybe they're just expert tattoo artists, who knows. Oh, it was only $5 bucks though, so guess I got what I paid for.

Q: Looking for a quick and easy way to do pasta without having to wait a half and hour sit down and eat at a chain restaurant? Well if so check out Mac Shack. Really easy to find and if your in the SW part of town it's probably a place you have driven by many times. Located on Warm Springs, across from Vons it has a very spacious inside with a Subway type of feel (in a good way) to ordering. The menu is very simple to order off of and there are plenty of options to keep you coming back to try them all. The food overall is very good, just a little salty. I have tried a few different dish combinations with Alfredo sauce, meat sauce and a few different combinations of near add ons. Overall very nice place to grab a quick and easy pasta dish without having to go to a chain restaurant.
