Looks like it only happens in florida

Fellow Floridians! I am looking for the following: I need a high quality home security system that offers an outdoor camera, indoor camera, window/door sensors & POTENTIALLY offering one camera to be offsite about 1200 yards from the WIFI router. If the offsite camera is not possible I will get another system entirely for the offsite requirements and will take any suggestions for that topic as well... any insight would be a HUGE help. I have done a lot of research and went with ARLO.. and I am highly disappointed with the system overall. At this point I am kind of overwhelmed. ANY input is GREATLY appreciated and I appreciate your time, Thanks again.

Hi there my dear Floridians. ☺️

In the start of February, my two kids and I will be visiting your state, for a little road trip in the southern part of Florida.

And I could use some help and advice from you regarding the last two I need to fill in my itinerary.

Our itinerary right is as follows

3 nights I Miami 2 nights in key west 3 nights in Naples 2 nights in…. Your suggestion 6 nights in Orlando.

So I need to find two nights in between Naples and Orlando and I hope you lovely people have some nice suggestions.

We are not that big beach go’ers, so I think of some kind of inland stay. Either between Naples and Orlando or even perhaps up to 1-1 /2 hours above Orlando.

I was dreaming of this hallmark movies town with a small b&b and traditional diner where everybody knows your name. But I am not sure this even exists. ☺️

A little bonus info, my kids, two boys are 12 and 17 and mostly gamers, so they would most likely prefer if there were some kind of activities, so that it doesn’t get to boring.

Hit me with your best suggestions. ☺️

We’re thinking about going to Florida with our 2 year old son this December / January. We’re coming from up north and haven’t flown with him before, so we’re hoping for whatever is most up north in Florida that is still warm and has activities for toddlers and relatively chill for a pregnant person. Any locations you’d recommend? + activities in that area? Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

I just spotted this lizard in my neighborhood South Orlando, I did a bit of research and looks like it’s a Red-Headed Agama. From what I understand, it’s an invasive species from Africa that’s been making its way through Florida, especially in urban areas. I snapped a picture (attached) to confirm, but judging by the bright orange head and dark body, I’m pretty sure this is the one.

As a native Floridian, I’m concerned about the impact these lizards might have on our local ecosystem. I know they’re not as destructive as some other invasives like iguanas or tegus, but I’ve heard they can still compete with native species for food and space.

So, here are my questions: 1. Should I be worried about these guys spreading further? 2. Is there anything I can do to help control their population? 3. Are there any authorities I should report this sighting to, or is it best to just leave them alone?

Does anyone know where to find Poland Spring water in south east Florida? BJ’s and Sam Club no longer has it in stock.

Hello everyone! Me and my partner are coming to Florida in January for the Daytona 24 race in January. I'm after a bit of travel advice.

• My partner is a huge racing fan so will probably be at the race for the whole thing. I'm a medium racing fan so planning on doing a bit of local exploring for part of that time. Is there anything interesting / noteworthy to do nearby? Our hotel is on the beach so I'm looking for other options (parks, museums, art galleries, activities, attractions, any nice shopping spots - either malls or flea markets)
• After the race is over, we've got two options - either fly straight to the Bahamas or spend a couple of days exploring Florida, then fly to the Bahamas (or get the ferry). I've heard Miami is cool - do you think it's worth a couple of days there? And if so, what are the tourist must-do-s?

Thank you!

Found this in my jack links beef jerky bag. Lmk if it looks like your state or not. I'm Canadian btw

How does it differ from having a concealed carry permit? I've had a permit for about 15 years now, but if there is no need anymore, I may as well not renew it next year. Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks for all the answers folks - much appreciated. I'll be keeping my permit.

Anyone hear anything about the Winn Dixie’s in Saint Augustine being converted yet? Can’t find any info online and the store managers are being hush hush about it.

I just can’t bring myself to feel like it’s almost time for the Christmas tree to come out of the attic when I’m still sweating outside!? I grew up in piping hot weather, but in the winter it always would get like 60. It’s mid 80s rn. It’s nice out. I’m not mad. Just doesn’t feel like Christmas
