Adult Sports
I just moved to the area, late 20s, and I’m looking for adult rec sports to play. I play basketball and volleyball so I’m most interested in pick ups or leagues of those but I’m down for most sports. I’ve looked online but there isn’t much there. Are there any around here or Winter Haven that people know of?

Orange Blossom Revue Tickets/Volunteering
Hello Lake Wales. I'm from Lakeland and have seen the Orange Blossom Revue happening the first weekend of December. I'm a huge JJ Grey fan, so I don't want to miss the show, but tickets are tough to afford with the Holiday Squeeze coming. Does anybody know if they need volunteers at drink stands or a way to get in the show for free/reduced cost. I'd be totally willing to volunteer, just not sure how to get connected. Thanks in advance.

I created a new Discord server for the area: Tampa Bay Inclusive
Hey there. I saw there are a few Tampa-related servers, but they're all very niche. I wanted to create something more general that could serve everyone in the area. Anyone is welcome to join. If you remember the old MSN ChatTampaBay, something like that.

Job hunting
Does anyone here know of any local businesses hiring? I currently work at Legoland as a busser and am very desperate to get out of it and find something else.

looking for new friends!!
Hey folks! I go by Nando and I live in Lake Wales I'm 32 a husband and father. I moved to Florida in 2019 right before COVID became an issue so I never really got the chance to meet people and make friends. So0o0o ya I am looking for friends lol. A few things about myself: I consider myself a nerd. I enjoy Star Trek, Star Wars and Power Rangers (although I don't watch that as much anymore) Recently started a lightsaber collection so if any one wants to duel hit me up! Lol
I enjoy making reggaeton beats and writing songs I love old school hip hop but mostly listen to reggaeton and Spanish trap now.
I enjoy swimming beaches lakes canoeing and I don't mind having a drink here or there at a good bar (especially if they got live music)
420 friendly (card holder) but u don't have to be (it's for my migraines)
Anywayzzzz hit me up if you're down to make new friends....

Internet Providers
Hello, I’ll be moving to Lake Wales and work from home so I’ll need pretty decent internet speeds.
What provider/services would you recommend?

Warhammer & Tabletop in Lake Wales
Howdy folks, I’m looking for anyone who is into Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Age of Sigmar in the Lake Wales area. LGBT+ friendly, of course. Looking for new pals to roll dice with, and maybe even eventually do a big Warhammer Fantasy RPG in the future. Hit me up if you’re in the area!

Looking for deep cleaning services in the lake wales/winter haven area?
Me and my spouse are looking for a reasonable-priced deep cleaning service in the lake wales/winter haven area for our 1150 sq ft apartment. The thing is we ONLY need the actual “deep cleaning” stuff done. We keep up with all the regular cleaning (our rooms, vacuuming, etc) ourselves and we keep our apartment decent. We just struggle to have time for monthly deep cleaning things like appliances, furniture, steam mopping, etc). If anyone has any suggestions for services that can do this for us, I would really appreciate it. (We are on a budget like everyone else but realize that inflation and cost-of-business is a huge factor for pricing) Thank you :)

Coffee shops
I’ve done some searches and can’t seem to find a single coffee shop in Lake Wales, Florida that is not a chain like Dunkin. Looking for some good locally roasted beans. Possibly open to going toward Lakeland if there’s a good suggestion. Thanks!
