🏙️My North Phoenix View

What I am looking forward to

I am super excited!! Valleypalooza is less than 35 days away—can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday we were prepping for 2025’s version…

And I need 3 things from you, please. Save the date, tell a friend, and show up. We need you there to support our local businesses.

I am so proud and grateful for this year’s event. We have 100+ local businesses, our band from last year is returning, we have an incredible selection of food, we have a culturally diverse array of activities and businesses, and we have a ton of activities…

Ninja Nation will have their massive obstacle course, we will have claw arcade games, mini golf, a foam party, and more!!

You’re Won’t Find This On Zillow

Quick heads up for anyone watching affordability in North Phoenix.

I just listed a manufactured home on owned land near 16th St & Union Hills for only $300k. HOA dues are a super low $50/month! Reply back if you know of someone that might be interested.

We are excited to have Arizona Center for Oral Surgery as a Sponsor. Need wisdom teeth pulled? Work on arches? Any type of oral surgery? They are the best of the best.

Pella Windows & Doors quality is unmatched. Their product and service is the best in the business. Remodeling? Reach out.

Beer Fest?

Love beer? Join our friends from Kitsune as they host their 3rd Annual Tomodachi Beer Fest. Click the pic to get details, and purchase your tickets.

(Pro Tip)-Attend Valleypalooza, and then head over to Kitsune ;-)

Like To Volunteer?

LNP is hosting a volunteer event on 2/7. All details are inside the Living North Phoenix FB Group and can be found here.

Valleypalooza is also looking for a few more Volunteers. Get the details here :-)

Happy Hour & Hugs?

We have our Business Happy Hour on 2/12. So please RSVP, and….because of this post, regardless if you are a business owner or not, we determined we would like to offer free hugs.

All details are in the first link. If you can’t access it, let me know!

Just For Fun: 2 Truths & A Lie

Congrats to Linda Wagner for being last week’s winner. The lie—I won the State Golf championship, not tennis.

No truths and a lie returns next week :-)
