I'm visiting Glendale AZ for the week. I've had no luck finding any tarantulas as of yet. Are there any locals that can point me in the right direction?

T Meet CANCELLED for April 11th
I am very sorry, but I have to cancel the T meet for tomorrow due to a death in the family. I will work on rescheduling a new date.
