I went up to Payson, AZ ( Aka The Rim) on Saturday and happened to stop by the town’s liquor store.

No, this is not a joke. Rim Liquor is the town’s liquor store and quite possibly the greatest liquor store ever! I snapped this shot with my iPhone. I also tried looking for a local paper to see if they titled their classified section as “Rim Jobs” but couldn’t find one.

Stay Classy Payson!

       

Local.com is a website I came across while looking for a way to “penetrate” the local catering scene here in Phoenix. I was doing some online research and found the site and…I like it!

Sure, there are a bunch of other local search type sites out there but this one is way better. It’s a hybrid of all the large local search sites like; Yelp, YellowPages.com, CitySearch and SuperPages. Cool thing is, Local partners with the above sites to offer users the ability to just visit one site to find local restaurants, business contact information and hours, driving directions, as well as an aggregate of reviews from multiple sites. Essentially, local.com is a one stop shop for finding local businesses and services in your area.

Also, for those of you who own a business, Local allows you to submit your company’s information and website URL to their directory. Best part of all the submission is FREE!

       

I was moping around the house today and surfing the web when I stumbled upon a newer website that is like a consolidation between Car and Driver and Auto Trader. The website is DriverSide.com and is still in beta BUT it allows you to create a profile and list your car for sale for free, find the best mechanic in your area and see reviews on 2009 cars. The website also has a feature like KellyBlueBook.com which allows you to find out what your car is really worth.

It’s pretty funny that I happened to stumble onto this website because I’ve been trying to find some new mechanics in my area. The mechanic I have been going to for years wants to charge me $700 to change out my timing belt!?!?!? I may not know much about cars but what I do know is that is a ridiculous price to change a timing belt.

If you have car troubles, want to sell your whip or are in the market for a new car I’d recommend looking at this site.

As I talked wrote about yesterday. I’m getting extremely excited about the upcoming snowboarding season. I’ve been thinking all day about where and when to rent my cabin(s) for the winter. After work today I looked around the internet for deals. Last year I had friends who knew people so we could rent through them, either their time shares or just contacts. Well, unfortunately we don’t have the hook up this season.

So, I was scouring the internets tonight and I found a place that offers vacation rentals and they so happen to have cabin rentals available. The website I found was HomeAway.com and they offer some pretty good deals. From looking over the website I noticed that that have over 118,000 places to rent from so they will more than likely have a cabin rental near a mountain or mountains (plural hopefully) I plan to visit this year.

If you are planning on hitting the slopes as much as me this year, check this place out and rent a cabin soon. Hotels are way to overrated!
