r/bradenton

My wife asked me today when I was finally going to fix the bathroom door that sticks.

I told her it’s only been 3 years and I’m still studying the problem.

Got me wondering what everyone else has in their house that’s technically broken but everyone’s just adapted to at this point 😂

You know:

• the cabinet you have to hip check
• the outlet nobody trusts
• the drawer with “the trick”
• the light switch that may or may not control anything
• the toilet handle jiggle
• the fan that makes “the sound”

What’s the repair in your house that somehow became part of daily life instead of getting fixed?

Why are there so many complexes with zero trees? Especially the new developments. Is there no laws that require a certain amount of trees on properties??

Which parts of Bradenton are growing the fastest?

Besides the LWR area, I’m familiar with the new “Seaflower”? development in West Bradenton off of 75th and Cortez.

I was trying to get some help/insight (again) to look for work around bradenton to north sarasota area. I've had no luck finding a job for months now and not really sure why.

I'm a 22 year old guy with a car, clean record and no substances. 4 years of retail-fast food experience. I'm going to MTC school in august so not sure if an apprenticeship is possible, but I'd love to get into something like welding, electronics or other trade ish roles if anyone around is willing to train on job. Otherwise if there's any stores that are looking for someone let me know, thank you :)

NOT long enough! This really pisses me off! It was IS a small family owned/run business, and she took total advantage of them for nearly two years!! Unless I'm wrong (and I am NOT condoning theft) a hungry person who steals a few dollars worth of food from a convenience store could almost get the same amount of time in prison!

Snippet:

>A Manatee County judge sentenced 54-year-old Felicia Stivers to nearly 2 years in prison followed by more than 28 years of probation after prosecutors say she stole as much as $300,000 from The Chop Shop, a local specialty butcher shop and longtime Manatee County staple in West Bradenton.

>An attorney representing Stivers did not immediately respond to the Bradenton Herald’s request for comment.

>The investigation began after the owner of the family-run meat and seafood shop reported suspicious financial activity to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

>According to an arrest report, the owner discovered a pattern of cash reversals in the store’s system dating back to 2022. Detectives said they later determined Stivers stole between $150,000 and $300,000 from the store over two years through fraudulent activity.

>The owner told detectives the theft went unnoticed for so long largely because of the amount of trust placed in Stivers, who worked as a cashier at the longtime Bradenton butcher shop for about three years.

My wife and I just moved to bradenton. I’m 26 and she’s 24. We are originally from Nebraska but my wife is a travel nurse who took a contract here and we are realizing how hard it is to make friends at this age, so we are looking for some people around our age to hang out with. We are both ex-collegiate athletes. I played baseball and my wife did track and golf before covid. We love to have some drinks and do outdoorsy things like golf and pickleball and are constantly at the beach. Let me know if anyone is from bradenton or the st pete area!

Just moved here to Bradenton (close to Sarasota airport). What are y’all’s favorite Latino markets? Asian markets? Do Indian markets exist here? Or African?
