24 hour gyms besides Planet Fitness or Anytime in West Boca?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a 24-hour gym in Boca that is not Planet Fitness or the Anytime Fitness located in West Boca. No shade towards Anytime ( although their billing practice of sending you to collections instead of just closing your membership is extremely scummy) but if possible, I would love to find something in central or East Boca

It doesn't necessarily need to be a 24-hour gym, but I want to be able to work out on Saturday and Sunday night after a 12-hour shift at the hospital so it would need to be open at least until 10 or 11:00 p.m. so that I don't ever feel rushed.

I currently have a Youfit membership and I really enjoy their gyms but the weekend hours are terrible

All recommendations welcome and appreciated

Unfortunately, I do not have a garage/space for a home gym

Local Punk Shows

Hi everyone! I just moved down to Miami and was told that I’d have to go north to find any punk shows, so where can I find some?

To come back before the hurricane or delay a week....?

Tropical Storm Milton is expected to turn into at least a category 2 hurricane by Wed/Thu. Currently out of state and planning on flying back tomorrow. Wondering if its wise to stay another week in case power/water is lost and fly back next Sunday or just come back and not sweat it.

House cleaners ?

Apt Specs: 1 Bed / 1 Bath / 697 sq.ft. / 1 time per week / 4 times a month

Task: Clean the place, change my bed sheets (because I’m definitely not), wash dishes, play Tetris with my laundry, and perform the ancient art of clothes sorting.

Description: I need someone to rescue my apartment once a week. I live alone, no kids, no pets—just me and my existential crisis. Biggest struggle? Doing laundry without wanting to lie down inside the dryer for warmth. I already have a robot vacuum, just waiting on a robot who will cook, and clean to complete the dream!

Flag waving people outside of FAU

On my way home today I saw about 12 flag wielding people. When they saw me looking they tried to give me a pamphlet. Like, really, you think a pamphlet is going to change somebody's mind with 1 month to go?

I just gave her a thumbs down sign and she started yelling at me. I had the windows closed, so I have no idea what she said and I drove off into the sunset. Imagine waving a flag for a politician and being triggered by getting the thumbs down. I don't get it.

Traffic info

Is there a good way to receive traffic updates for the Boca area? I know there’s a TotalTrafficMIA Twitter account, but they don’t cover north of Broward and I can’t find anything similar for this area. I know a lot of accounts that posted automated updates on Twitter were shut down after the Musk takeover but I’m hoping something is out there!

I use Waze for my commute right now, but I am also nosey and want to know why the highway is shut down on days like today when I’m stuck in traffic lol.

Midwestern vibes near Boca

Hello! I’m a midwestern 32 year old female living in Boca. I’ve found it more challenging to find down to earth friends and activities here compared to the Midwest or even out west (I’m a big mountain biker).

I think the east coasters in Boca are very different than the Midwest nice I’m used to lol.

My question is- are there any activities or places to go that have a more laid back vibe? Preferably outdoors! For example, live music, pick your own farms, farmer’s market, or anywhere else you can think of!

Thanks in advance!

Grass on Powerline between Camino and Boca/Deerfield line

Was driving down Powerline this weekend and noticed the grass starting from just north of Camino to the canal where Boca ends. Does anyone know what type of grass that is? Is it bermuda grass?

City tree overhanging my property making a mess

There is a ficus tree on city property hanging over my yard and pool. It drops tons of leaves and bugs in my yard and pool every day. It's a huge nuisance and makes pool maintenence way more time consuming. Anything I can do about it short of having someone trim the branches over my property line?

Palmetto/powerline McDonald’s Old Interior

I’m in desperate search of a photo!!! This McDonald’s used to have a motorcycle inside of it and a model train system running along the ceiling. It’s been probably 10 years since they updated it to the bleak minimalist bs. Dining there right now I became nostalgic when I remembered how much character it had. There are other nascar themed McDonald’s in Florida, including one in west Boca. The ones I’m seeing on google images I’m fairly certain are NOT this one.

Free Flu Shot Day at Walgreens

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share with everyone about a flu shot event that is going on at Walgreens on Spanish River and Federal Highway in Boca Raton Florida.

Walgreens is doing a flu shot equity day to help people who cannot afford a flu shot due not having insurance. If you know someone who is 18 years and up and may be interested in getting a flu shot at no cost to them, we would love to help them this Friday September 27th from 9am to 6pm with a break between 1pm to 2pm (no shots at this time). People who do have insurance are also welcome to come as well! Want to get everyone protected going into October against the flu! 😷

Please let everyone know so we can help as many people as possible and help protect them!

Please let me know if you have any questions!!!

Ants

I’m finding more ans more ants in my home. Bigger black ones and tiny little ones.

Can anyone recommend an exterminator company who doesn’t do contracts?

I’ve tried the Home Depot and Amazon ant repellent but isn’t affective at all.
