A: Who came up with these crazy angled streets out in the avenues? After driving around in a couple of circles trying to figure out how to make a left turn onto Grand Avenue, I finally made it here tonight. I went with the #dtfn crew on the recommendation of cenpho.com, and wow was I impressed. As the other reviewers have noted, it is in a shady neighborhood and the exterior isn't much to look at, but the interior decor and atmosphere is stunning. They had a live DJ spinning great tunes and they have Blue Moon on tap, which is always a plus for me. There is a very industrial-chic updated interior and a huge bar with more servers than you could ever possibly need. Service was prompt, the outside patio area was great, and the vibe is awesome. You should definitely make the trip out west to check out this great spot--sure to become a new phoenix classic.

A: I went to Arcadia Farms Cafe for brunch with my best friend from out of town on July 5th. When we entered this quaint restaurant we were pleasently surprised. The ambiance of the area had an antique feel and there were these adorable clocks on the walls. My friend and I ordered the french toast. It was pretty basic but the strawberries on it made the dish outstanding. The waitress was nice enough, did not talk much but that is ok since it was a "quiet" place. I want to go back and try more things on the brunch menu but I wish brunch was served a bit longer than 11am. On the weekends I like to sleep in. I would go back to Arcadia Farms Cafe.

Q: negative

A: I'm only putting one star because there is no option for negative 666 stars! My family has had Cox cable for about 15 years. We briefly switched to Qwest (now Century Link, I believe) and the ONLY reason we switched back is because we moved and didn't want to pay another installation fee. Plus, we needed internet. Cox Cable has been nothing but trouble for us. If we went an entire week without an outage, golly... I'd probably fall and not be able to get up (kudos to you if you get that reference!). And no, it is NOT the house or the neighborhood as this happened in every corner of the valley that we have lived in. Recently, my biggest problem has been the cable box for my bedroom. I had an HD box for about a year and I began having problems with a crackly/pixelated picture. We went through the hassle of going all the way to the Cox store to swap it out. And before you comment, YES... it is an inconvenience because Cox only has two (maybe three, if we're lucky) stores in the valley--none of which are close to me. I brought my box home, hooked it up, it worked totally fine for ooooooooh... two weeks! A whopping two weeks! It wouldn't even give me a picture. It kept telling me that it wouldn't connect. We tried everything to troubleshoot the problem, nothing worked. Finally, the call centre guy told my dad that we had to swap out the box yet again. Another trip to the mythical Cox store. I get my box home, hook it up... it took THREE days for it to connect and be activated. And don't worry, we didn't have a dime taken off of the bill. Their internet service has always been a thorn in my side. It goes down all the time and when it isn't down, it's slower than frozen molasses coming out of a jar. And don't waste your time calling about either problem because let's be real, it's Cox Cable... caring about their customers is not their forte. I cannot even begin to imagine what it is like to have their phone service. We stuck with Qwest phone service because Cox charges outrageous prices if you want to make long distance calls. Oh, and in the stores, the name of their wifi (which is on password cause they suck that much) is "cable gods". I really think they should consider changing that... But take your Cox remote with you. It's a long wait and they normally have CSPAN on the TV.

A:
From the front desk staff to the vet techs to the doctors, every experience we've had with Dilworth Animal Hospital has been excellent. Both my husband and I and our cat are always treated kindly and respectfully. They really understand the relationship between pets and their people.
