Yay!

Had much fun with norabombay. She is an LJ whore, and borrowed Tigereye to update her journal after we were done with lunch. We drove all around, and there was much goodness and boyband discussion and looking at scenery and me giggling at Greenway.

I would love to use some kind of online tool to outline our crazy, on-crack route around some of the more interesting areas of Phoenix, but ... we went from Town & Country shopping center to Metrocenter, to templeravenmoon out to the north end of Loop 101 where it intersects 19th Avenue, and then through Scottsdale, into Tempe, into Mesa and out to nearly the eastern end of the 202, then back down Mesa Drive to the 60, and then through downtown past and through Arizona Art Supply back to templeravenmoon again.

It was a lot of fun. I don't get to go just randomly driving around looking at stuff much.

We can hold a coherent conversation, but it does jump from thing to thing.

Oh, and http://www.sexylosers.com is why Fapp's Printing, on Camelback at the corner with 19th Ave, is so funny.

Dogs, and the funky things they eat. Cats. Pets with LJs. Kids. Dancing. Why pop music is so contagious. And so forth.

That is some serious mileage. Wow. *boggles*

And *grin* I'm just all squeey to see familiar names of places.

Mmm, Town and Country -- LOVE that place. Right next to the place where I used to work. I had a rather significant (killed the battery) phone conversation with iroshi there. That was my escape from home when I couldn't drive anywhere. I would ride my bike up there, go have ice cream, hang out at Juntenhoops.

And of course, Metrocenter -- another great hang-out place -- so many memories. Some of you. *smile*

I can almost follow the exact route you would have taken....

*grin* Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Can we say, rental car with a full tank of gas?

[norabombay.livejournal.com]

All that driving, and I went something like 150 miles by the time I turned the car in.

It was only 6 gallons of gas to fill the tank.

I got my money worth out of that rental.

Utter fun.

But we came from T&C down Camelback, boggled at the squid tattoo place, missed the turn onto the 17 by going onto the frontage road thanks to hostile traffic, then going up to 35th Ave & Cheryl to hit the mall. Then we took a spin around the mall before finally trying to park in front of the food court... failed... parked by the East side of the Macy's instead.

And then we tried to hit up a place to eat... there was much zooping in and out of parking lots around the corner of 19th Ave & Dunlap, with Big Burrito and Jack-in-the-crack being the zooped.

And then from the 101 south, we saw the Salt River, and wound up detouring off onto the 202, though we didn't really realize it at the time.
