I've lived in Naples for four years, and I've been really wanting to go to a batting cage. Any recommendations?

I keep seeing very mixed reviews about Orchid Run apartments, I’m interested in signing a lease with them because They look really nice but now after reading recent reviews I’m unsure how safe that area is, ppl have mentioned car breaks in. Does anyone have experience living there or that area?

its closing this week? and the one in Ft Myers is already closed?

anybody know the details?

My parents live near Golden Gate, but my dad’s lawn mower has kicked the bucket and I’m try to convince him instead of buying a new lawn mower is to get a lawn service to mow the year for him. (He’s 80, has a bad back and 2 rebuilt knees, he uses a walker, as he can’t move around without it. He’s stubborn as hell so I’m in for a fight. But I’m looking for a good lawn care service that won’t break the bank. Anyone have suggestions?

Violated probation… no bond until appearance with judge.

Hi fellow Neopolitans - looking to go out with a group of friends for good steaks, french fries, and whiskey. Bonus points if it's not on 5th. Where would you go??

I went to the 2pm Saturday performance of The Music Man at Gulfshore Playhouse and something really bothered me.

We were seated front row because my dad has impaired eyesight, so we had a clear view of everything. During the applause and curtain call, about a dozen or more people got up and left. Not quietly from the back, but walking down the aisle toward the stage, in front of the front row, and out the exit. I was honestly stunned.

I get why people do it, trying to beat traffic or avoid crowds, but it still felt really disrespectful. The performers had just given so much, and the curtain call is the moment where they are recognized.

As someone who grew up loving theater and self-confessed "theater kid", it was disheartening to watch. It takes maybe two more minutes to stay and show appreciation.

Am I overreacting or does this bother anyone else too? ICK.

Found 4 kittens, mom was run over.

We urgently need somewhere to take them. Local shelters are full as far as i can tell. Im a long time Foster Dad and Neonatal Rescue. I know we are peak season, and i cant turn away 4 little angels. Anyone know a place willing to take them in ?

I would personally, but i have an elderly canine with cancer and multiple other conditions right now, as well as a cow cat with an ocular tumor. I cant spare the time to care for the kittens.

Girlfriend and I will be making our annual trip to Naples to soon, and looking to visit some places we haven't been to.

We are not bougie people. For example we were devastated to find out Pelican Larrys had closed as that was our favorite.

Appreciate any suggestions!

Hi everyone, I’m planning my sister’s bachelorette trip at the end of May. We are staying in Naples Park near Vanderbilt Beach. Looking for some restaurant and bar recommendations in the area. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

My husband and I planned to move to Naples this year. However, I recently found out I’m pregnant. We are very excited, and as you can imagine there are mixed emotions.

My biggest concern at this point is finding a good doctor that I trust for the birth.

Where we currently live, we have an excellent hospital and doctors. I’ve heard not so great things about Florida in general, but specially NCH in Naples…

Please share any and all recommendations for a good doctor / hospital.

Out of Naples or the Everglades City, any recommendations? Have daughters and son-in-laws coming to visit.

Is Naples a good place for young people? 20s-30s yr olds. Salary 70k possible relocating to Naples.

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I are visiting Naples next week. We are doing a very lowkey vacation just trying to soak up the sun and enjoy the beaches!

Looking for some beach suggestions or maybe some hidden gems to layout and enjoy the day. We have transportation and parking figured out so don’t hold back suggestions! Would love a less crowded beach or just less crowded environments (I work in healthcare so I’m a constant state of overstimulation).

I love nature and exercise so if there’s any cool hikes or trails in the area I’d love to check it out. Not particular if it’s on the beach or in a near by park.

Lastly looking for some great happy hour deals/restaurants. We went to downtown Naples last year and although it was beautiful a little too stimulating or for lack of better words flashy. I loved the architecture and vibes but was overwhelmed by the crowds (granted it was st Patrick’s day weekend and it was a Saturday night) but looking for a cute little area that has restaurants and/or bars near by where we can check out drinks and apps maybe little stores.

Thank you so much for the replies in advance!

Shy Girls Club: a new community for socially anxious women in Southwest Florida 🌸

Anyone else out here wanting more friends but also scared to just show up to a random meetup? Yeah. Same.

So I started Shy Girls Club! I couldn’t find anything like it around here, and I knew I couldn’t be the only one. It’s a space for socially anxious women in Southwest Florida who want real friendships but need a softer way in.

Here’s how it works: we get to know each other first through our Discord server. Hobbies, interests, just vibing. Then we organize low-key in-person meetups when everyone feels ready. Think picnics in the park, birdwatching, board games. Nothing intimidating. No pressure to stay longer than you want.

This club was just sprouted 🌱 so I am still looking for girlies to join!

**Southwest Florida women only**

If this sounds like your kind of thing, come introduce yourself!

My husband (47) and I (41) are in town from New England and looking for something to do Sat or Sun night that isn’t clubbing with barely 21 year olds. We were gonna watch the sunset and then…? Past visits to Naples we’ve gone out dancing or drinking, but looking for something more low key and maybe more for our age group. Also we’re super liberal so please no MAGA recs (e.g. seed to table).
