Does Dania Pointe flood? I’ve stayed there before (not during rainy/hurricane season) but looking to evacuate due to Milton. Is flooding common? I don’t want to pick a hotel in an area that might put my vehicle at risk or we end up stuck there due to flooding. It’s hard to find a nice, pet friendly hotel!
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?
Also that’s affordable? Thank you!
Hi, I am looking for advice on the best way to meet potential roommates. I have been here a month and tried attending different social events but have not found anyone needing a roommate. I mostly would like one to save money and hopefully be friends with but would rather not sign a lease with a complete stranger. Any help would be much appreciated.
Edit: I’m a 22 year old man if that makes a difference

Thank you!
Coming down with the fam in a few weeks had planned on getting a nice tat and in my party my son as well as a friend getting decent sized ones. Then wife daughter and other friend want small behind ear pieces. Was going to go to sunshine but kinda pricey for the small but no big deal then our bigger pieces only will draw day of and wants 150 depo. Not a huge deal. They are insanely slow to reply now hasn’t sent info to send a deposit. So I’m giving up, any suggestions on a nice clean tat shop that might have a good artist free? End of Oct first of Nov
Can anyone recommend a nice brunch place to go on Sunday? I'm looking for a place in north Broward county.

I keep seeing the Bokamper’s on the IC recommend but I find it so overpriced and the food and service mid. Am I missing something? I’ve tried it for lunch only so maybe I’m going at the wrong time.
Does anybody know of a place to drop off donations for hurricane helene victims?
im an out-of-towner who started visiting on avg 1-2x a month and instead of paying $25/day for a beach canopy its high time i buy my own since i have a storage locker there anyways and could accomodate one up to 6.3ft in total length folded up.
i could get in and then go store to store looking for sunshades but i am wondering where to start at if you know?
There was a nightclub just by the Oakland park bridge back in 80's, Great memories I have to share, anyone else?
Any decent cigar lounges where I can watch Thursday Night Football? I’m staying down on the beach and can walk to Beach Cigar Bar, but their prices are pretty inflated, they add a 20% “service charge” to the bill, and measure their drinks, so I’m not thoroughly impressed with the place. Looking for alternatives.
Thanks!

So I always fish on this one road and yesterday was the first time I had a security guard aggressively come at me saying it’s private property. Who can I call to find out? There are no signs or gates anywhere.
All my fishermen and women in the area has anyone been following the Mullet Run? Where are the mullet at this time have they made it here or are they still up north? Anyone catch any monsters?
Just as the post states, my husband and I got transferred here 5 years ago (pre-Covid) and absolutely love living here. Met lots of new people and have established very good relationships. We both were working full time positions and living comfortably but in the last five months out of nowhere, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, went into cardiac arrest due to a severe UTI and has since had a defibrillator implant . Needless to say. It's not the best situation as he can no longer work due to the obvious and with us being down to a single income I'm feeling like we need to be somewhere else to be able to afford the upcoming financial strain (we currently rent) that is ahead of us. I know it's just as expensive everywhere else but was wondering if anybody else decided to leave south Florida to live elsewhere due to health reasons, expenses, COL etc and where did you relocate to? Tough question I know but thanks in advance for any replys to this post.
Searching for the park Park in Fort Lauderdale area that was built on garbage pile. Looking to run some hills :)

Only saw relevant posts from 2+ years ago. Looking for group pickleball classes in the area for beginners to intermediate. I know the rules and can hit the ball! Preferably weekly to build community and not $100 per class. I don’t want to show up to a court and ruin someone elses game playing with me. TIA
Would love a recomendation for a salon that specializes or does a brazilian blowout? Thank you.
