Milton - how bad should we expect it to be for us?

I know it's still all up in the air, but I'm curious about speculations. Would it be similar to Ian with the flooding? They keep mentioning the west coast as it would make landfall there, but what could we expect in our area?

Anybody else thinks is not OK or weird that Sheriff Chitwood is in local comercials?

Was watching TV the other day and saw Mike Chitwood in some comercials for local businesses. This just did not sit right with me. I'm not saying anything is going on. I just believe the local Sheriff should be impartial and not show favoritism to anybody or anything. I also had questions like, Did he get paid for this? Was this filmed during working hours? Do these companies have any contracts with the state or county etc. Again I'm not saying or accusing him of anything illegal. It just seems like a conflict of interest to me and a waste of his time when we have so many more important issues to handle in this town. Maybe I'm wrong here idk wanted to know what others thought.

Eligible but choosing not to vote? why?

Posting in this sub because I don’t know many locals who don’t vote and yet the turnout is still maxed at about %70. Interested in hearing from the %30.

Outdoorsy stuff??

Hi, just moved here about two months ago. Also just got dumped✌🏼 I’m looking for some chill parks or trails to walk and reconnect. I’ve been to Tomeka, but the entry fee was a little annoying. I like the beach sometimes, but I’m looking for some greenery… I’ll even settle for a field I can just lay in lol. Let me know!

Swimming Lakes/rivers

Anyone have any suggestions for public lakes or rivers within like 100 miles of the daytona beach area? The crowds and beach can get tiring sometimes. More worried about parasites than alligators. Thanks!

Considering moving from Orlando to the Daytona/Ormond Beach area. What areas should I stay away from?

Hello! As the title says, I’m considering moving from Orlando to the Daytona Beach or Ormond Beach area in a few months. The housing is so much cheaper out there and seems better quality. Usually beach cities are expensive, so I almost feel like there has to be a catch. Would you recommend living there? What areas should I stay away from? Is it safe there for someone who’s living alone?

Private landlords in the area?

My lease is up soon and the owner is going to sell the house. I have an eviction from 5 years ago that's all paid off, stable income of about $3500/mo after taxes. Current landlord will provide a good reference, I've never been late or given him any trouble.

Definitely running low on options because nobody wants to rent to someone with an eviction, understandably, but I still need a place to live regardless of the past.

Looking for a 2 bedroom because I have a son thats with me a few days a week. If anyone knows of landlords that work with people I'd really appreciate it.

What was the name of this place?

I left Daytona in December of 2009, but I am trying to remember the name of an indoor playground that was on International Speedway (Volusia Avenue) and then there was another one out where the old drive in turned flea market was on Nova Road (it was across the street from the old drive-in/flea market) - shopping center area - I can't remember the names, but I do know that they were 2 diff companies/names

Gas!!!

Why are people panic buying all the gas???? Yes it's a major hurricane, but we are getting minor levels compared to those in the path. You DONT NEED 100 gallons of gas for this storm. Put some in your car and another 5-10 for a generator. 5 gas stations I went to were OUT yesterday and today. No reason to be out.
