I did not see one kid trick or treating last night.

and I was out around Cape Coral driving for about an hour around 6:15 pm doing a delivery

Then as I came home it had gotten dark but I saw 2 neighbors out sitting waiting for kids to come out for candy.

This morning very early I had another delivery and I saw a container of candy for kids to take and it was still full.

Reliable, Experienced Professional Seeking Part-Time Property Management or Remote Assistant Work

Hi there! I recently moved to Fort Myers and currently work remotely full-time as a Product Manager for an IT company (Monday through Friday, 9 am–5 pm).

I’m looking for a part-time position I can take on after work hours or on weekends. I have a solid background in cleaning, serving/bartending, banking, and retail, and I’m eager to put my skills to use in new ways.

Ideally, I’d love a remote position as a personal assistant or managing vacation properties, but I’m also open to working with homeowners on regular upkeep for their homes or vacation rentals. I enjoy cleaning, organizing, and I come fully prepared with my own supplies. I’m frequently on Sanibel Island, so I’m more than happy to work out that way as well.

If you’re looking for reliable help, please feel free to reach out!

Lindsford?

My family is considering a move to the Lindsford neighborhood. Any thoughts? We're coming from Charlotte County and my husband has already been working in Fort Myers for a while; we just need to shorten his commute before the snowbirds come back. We're well aware of all the downsides of SWFL and Fort Myers 😆

We've talked to a few people who live in Lindsford, and they all seem to love it. I see that there have been some car break-ins in the past, but it looks like that usually involves people leaving their cars unlocked and/or leaving valuables visible. Do you otherwise feel safe there?

We previously made an offer on a home in Westbrook, but found significant water intrusion and mold in the home. Now we're trying to avoid Pulte (after reading about a big lawsuit against them for exactly this issue - faulty stucco & water intrusion). DR Horton doesn't seem perfect, but it looks like they may have fewer big water intrusion issues than Pulte?

Our kiddo is in 7th grade, so middle schools are a bit of concern, based on what I'm reading/hearing. Any thoughts? We're currently homeschooling and could always continue that until high school, though I'd rather her go back to school next year.

Any thoughts appreciated!

Chinese food

Hello all! New to Fort Myers area. Can anyone point out a good Chinese place to eat? Google is not giving me hope. Shocked at some of the pictures the restaurants have posted. A lot look over cooked. Ginger Bistro looks good but listed as pretty expensive. Would appreciate some insight. Like the city so far. Chinese food is favorite though. Would suck if there is no good places here.

Best ways/places to meet people in fort myers?

Hey everyone! I just recently moved here around 4 months ago and I'm just wondering what the best way is to get involved in the social scene around here. I'm a 19 year old guy and currently not in school (so i can't really go to bars/fgcu events). I've been hearing about backyard social and the skybar, but how do people my age drink there and/or get into those places? Plus I wouldn't want to go alone lol. So what are your guys' general recommendations? Where do people my age tend to hang out? Honestly just looking to make friends since I don't know anyone

Contractor for small construction jobs

I have a few small construction jobs to do around the house. I don’t think any would require a permit. The basic list is below. Can anyone recommend a contractor/handy man for some or all of these jobs? I’m not looking for a big company that will give me the “not worth my time” price.

  • replace door jam
  • move dryer vent further up on wall
  • close in an old door with concrete block and stucco
  • remove popcorn ceiling

Is it OK to go to fort myers Nov 21 with baby (post-Milton)?

Hi Fort Myers people,

We have a trip booked Nov. 21 to 28th, and are wondering if you'd recommended to still come, or if we should change our trip to the east coast. We weren't planning on doing anything too crazy, maybe check out Manatee Park, check out beaches, find a few nice places to walk.

If Fort Myers beach is still not safe, maybe it is ok to go south to Naples for beach stuff? Or is everything along the gulf still out of the question?

Thanks in advance for your inputs :)

Classy places for nice evenings

Anyone have any recommendations for classier establishments like the London Club in Naples? Edit: speaking in terms of food and entertainment with a vibe of people more dressed to impress vs Floridians in shorts and flip flops

Nikki Glaser last night at Barbara B Mann

Anyone know who the musician was that opened for her last night? Tour postings don't mention it. Also, there was comedian before Nikki came on. Anyone know his name?

Psychological Evaluation Needed

Hi all,

Not to give you a long drowned out story, I need to prove I am more than capable of being a father to my children. I can’t afford a $10k price tag on a psych eval.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to anyone that can do one for me for a reasonable price? I am getting desperate, hence a Reddit post.

Thank you.

Photographer recommendations: some candid/some posed at a gathering

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for a professional or semi-professional photographer who can take pictures at a (casual) Celebration of Life gathering in November in Ft. Myers. We will have relatives coming in from a few different areas and would like the chance to capture some candid photos at the event, as well as a handful of posed family photos (nothing elaborate - just a chance to capture that we're all there together). I don't live in the area and I don't have a ton of time to spend contacting/comparing, so hoping for some suggestions to help winnow my search. We're not looking for wedding-level event coverage, nor budget. Hoping to hit the sweet spot of affordable, but skilled. Thanks!

Lost wallet at Barbra B Mann

My boyfriend lost his wallet at the Barenaked Ladies concert on Tuesday (October 22nd). It wasn't turned in, but we're hopeful someone will do the right thing. We don't care if the cash is gone, there's important cards for work that he needs. His name is Corey L. Wallet is brown leather and was in row M seat 103 or 104. It can be turned in, no charges filed.

I don't have Facebook but if anyone has any clue on places I can cross post, it would be much appreciated. I didn't see any reddit forums for bbmann.
