After two home games against the other two new teams in the league, the Storm are now 2-0!

Having gone to Guardians games, it's way more fun in a smaller stadium.

Hey y'all! I currently live around the downtown area and am looking to make friends. I work from home so you can imagine how difficult it can be to meet new people when you spend most of your time at home.

I'm 29 M, and I'm really into basketball, vinyl, and movies. I'm a huge Orlando Magic fan but love to watch any NBA team. I spend time at Park Ave CD's but most of my time is spent at the movie theater. I anticipate joining a running club once I'm a little bit more in shape.

If anyone wants to talk music, basketball, or movies, feel free to message me! I also have Letterboxd, so you can message me for that as well. ✌️

My partner and I have been wanting to go and buy some ingredients for a recipe he wants to make for me, and one thing is very hmart specific but we've avoided the hmart ever since it opened because everybody says it's like an hour long wait in line just to get inside. Is that still the case?

Are there any places hiring in Orlando (or surrounding areas) that don't require standing or provide reasonable accommodations for those with a doctor's note? I've applied to a few administrative positions and haven't heard back, and I'm afraid to venture outside of that in case they won't accommodate. I'm desperate at this point

Vahalla is still open. I’m going to stop by next week and support them.

Hi everyone,

I’m desperately looking for some local advice. My boyfriend and I are relocating to Kissimmee soon as he is an incoming PGY-1 Resident Physician at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital.

I’ve been trying to find a private rental for us on Facebook Marketplace, but it has been an absolute nightmare. It's infested with scammers using the classic "I'm out of town, just drive by and look at the exterior, but pay the refundable application fee via Jotform first" script. Since I'm managing this search remotely, it's getting super frustrating.

My questions for the locals:

1. Where else should I be looking besides FB Marketplace and Zillow? Are there any specific local property management websites or platforms you trust?

2. Does anyone know of any private landlords near the Downtown Kissimmee who prefer renting to medical professionals?

Any leads, tips, or reality checks would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! 🙏

Anyone know why there’s significantly less vendors at the Eola spring festival this year compared to prior years. Last year vendors stretched around the whole lake and Robinson St was shut down and had vendors on both sides of the side walk. It’s like a 60% reduction in amount of vendors.

Anybody planning to go this year? What films are you interested in seeing?

Any spot with an interesting array of herbs and hot peppers. Willing to drive outside of Orlando a bit. Thank you.

I’ve been doing a bunch of googling about how to resolve this without suing. The Department of Labor/Wage & Hourly Division has been unhelpful with unpaid wages claim.

Their automated email directs me to file with DBPR, however, the DBPR does not handle restaurant claims. It is a continuous loop.

For anyone who has successfully gotten a DOL complaint through, how did you do it? It’s like no real human works there

I have sent countless emails and messages to my previous employer literally BEGGING them to pay me, with them sending me fake emails claiming to have paid me, and deactivating their email, suing them might end up my only option. At any time not paying folks is a crazy move, but in this economy it’s just insane.

Hey all!

Is St. Pete the nearest off leash dog beach?

Do you need to be there first thing in the morning to get parking?

Any recommendations?

does anyone know what they are planning on the land they are clearing next to Costco on University blvd?

Hey everyone and thank you in advance for helping. My pup is ready for his next dental visit.

Last month our vet closed down- they were short of staff. They were called All Creatures. And they had the most competitive prices I had seen for dental care. We paid $200 out of pocket with no extractions needed. Which is so hard to find!

Where are you taking your furbaby for 🦷 cleanings?

Does anyone know of or can recommend a handy-person who can install a second deadbolt lock on our front door?

We have an adventurous toddler who is able to unlock/lock our front door and we want to have peace of mind with a second one that is out of reach.

How is it? Thinking of taking the kids tomorrow although it’s ridiculously priced

Something is happening in Orlando. ⚡️

Not another corporate conference.

Not another room full of people pretending to build.

Not another recycled tech event with safe panels and forgettable buzzwords.

Vibe Code 101 is for the people actually making things.

The coders.

The creators.

The future founders.

The curious beginners.

The late-night builders.

The ones with half-finished ideas, working demos, startup dreams, and too many tabs open.

We’re bringing the builder energy to Orlando, Florida for a live experience built around learning, shipping, recognition, and community.

Come meet your collaborators.

Come show your work.

Come build your first real thing.

Come launch your next one.

This isn’t just an event. It’s a signal.

I live in Orlando when I was younger then moved to Virginia. here the hourly wage for servers is 3$ and in my restaurant we don’t get a check for our hourly rate. they said it has something to do with putting in it taxes, idk what it means haha.

my question is, it says the houryl tipped rate for servers is 10.98 or somewhere around there. I was wondering to the employers give you a check for that or do they keep some of it.

and would also like to know hoy much you make a day including the hourly rate.

thank you a lot in advance.
