There you go, I fixed it for you!

Unfortunately, Flagstaff has been "found", that big development on the West side north of the freeway is really going to help traffic up that way, eh?

Other than the traffic though, it's not really a bad place to hang out.

I prefer Fat Olive's but like Oregano's pretty well, too.

My favorite "Demand" is this little gem

I'd lol if I was in a better mood.

I read in the local Flagstaff paper that the City Council listened to 3 hours of public comment regarding defunding the Police Department. If I recall correctly, like 132 folks said do not defund the Police while 32 were in support of it. I recall the Council NOT defunding the Police, but were in favor of some Police reforms.

Flagstaff was a nice place 30 years ago. I have lived here quite a bit of those 30 years, but many of the reasons I moved here are gone. I did raise my daughters here, which was good as I live out in the country and never locked my house doors, but they moved away to go to college.

Geno,

I should have said, Good Sonoran Style Mexican food, flavored by 100 years of being in Arizona.

All the new stuff is from further south, but the old places were founded by the children of woodcutters, miners and cowboys that came up from Sonora.

God knows what traffic will be like if they sell all the lots they want to. the good news (for traffic) is all the college targeted apartment blocks seem half empty (although they are building another one)

Glad you didn't stay.

The demographics and crime rate would have rose.

I wont reside in towns where dog foods made...

Im way more rural than that...

I just pick on you folks that think that AZ food is "Mexican".

Them New Mexicans are worse. Their food has been flavored by 400 years of mixing Spaniars, Indians, and Mexicans! And they want to ask silly questions like " Red or green sir" all the time.

I'm just spoiled by San Diego/ Northern Baja style food I guess. I got lucky and found a place up in K Falls that makes an asada burrito San Diego style. Carne asada, pico salsa, and guacamole in one of the giant flour tortillas. No friggen rice and beans and "fillers". No sauce all over it either, pick it up and eat it with your hands like a proper burrito! And, best of all maybe, only $6.95! So big I get two meals out of it.


My bro is not going to be happy if all those new student places fill up. He's already having a hard time getting to the other side of town because students to wait to group up before pushing the crosswalk lights, they're all looking at their phones and just cross as single and pairs.

He's not happy about the empty land behind his place being turned into a "glamping" resort. Figures his deer visitors will vacate the area.

Not this fall, but maybe next fall I put in for a hunt up that way again. We'll try some of that food.

The Exception That Proves The Rule!

i had that southern cal baja style mexican food once or twice, but it isn't home cooking like sycamore is talking about. used to be two places i would hit in flag. one was on the old road going west to hit the freeway, the other was right near the north end of the campus. On friday nights to get lite up at the latin quarter, aka the L.Q, then around the corner for the mexican breakfast. tortilla, refried beans made the proper way, some eggs or chorizo, and a sopapilla with honey. then about 4bucks.
i never wanted to leave flag. and i have a relative buried at the cemetery on the nau campus. i went to work for a bank that thought is was a good idea to put me in phoenix, and a guy from phoenix in flagstaff. good thing i quite them.
if you run down the road to williams there is "Rod's steak house" originally owned by a white guy that wanted an outlet for his cattle. after years of operation he gave the business to his mexican employees who still run it.
i have had a steak a year there mostly since the 50's.
i have pictures of the area with family from the late 1800's it was different.
saturday nights on ol 66 where the bars are at was entertaining as a kid.

couple of years ago a nephew retired off the phoenix fire, who had spent his life in the phoenix area, went north and settled in flag.
for me, it's a round trip between phoenix and the house in prescott. that, has been in the family since the 20's. major issue in prescott is the flood coming in from kalifornika running property prices through the roof, and kalifornica type ideas.

last time thru Flagstaff, I stopped and ate at the Cracker Barrel ...

my waitress was a college gal from L.A. I asked her how she liked Flagstaff as a college student compared to L.A.

She called Flagstaff... Poverty with a view...

I thought that was sorta funny.. wife and I spent 4 days operating out of the Casino Hotel at Twin Arrows..
that was kind of a nice place...We did Sonora, then I40 east to the NM border... and then after leaving did a couple of days at the Grand Canyon.. one on the south side and one on the North Side... had dinner at the lodge which my wife really enjoyed..

took her there because she was complaining I never took her to see the Grand Canyon....

we headed home thru Utah, so we did Zion and then another Nation Park further north.... ...Arches National Park.... but she enjoyed the trip... this was after one of the Campfire Get Togethers at Quemato.....

Not surprised, Flagstaff is a college town

More useful stupids to be sacrificed.

Rods makes a great chicken fried steak. I like the one at Miz Zips even better, though, out of habit.

When I first started going to Flagstaff, I’d go to a place out on 66 called Salsa Brava. I’ve been there many times since.

pine country inn for the chicken fried steak

in late 60's i went to a wedding up on harts prairie at dust. big fires, lots of booze, lots of weed. kind of a hippy thing. she had flowers in her hair, long white dress, barefoot. he was dr. shivago. memorable affair from what i can remember of it.
i won a bet one year that i couldn't make it up to the snow bowl in my bug. payoff was a bottle of jim beams. well i had snow tires with wire in them, four people in the bug, two on the front bumper, two on the back. we went over and dug a pit in the snow to finish off the booze. fun coming down off the hill.
Old main which was a dorm at the time routinely had a "blue Haze" hanging over the bldg on weekends, i think you could get high just walking through there.
i kind of laugh at the memory of a black guy who was a neighbor in my dorm. sometimes he would have ten or fifteen kilos of weed in the room.
his father was a superior court employee in phoenix.

somebody mentioned not seeing many indians, i had to laugh. bar hopping late 60's and early 70's you would find drunk indians passed out in the snow banks in the front of the bars. people just left them lay there.
