So, me and my girlfriend are going soon in Naples and I want to surprise her with a dinner for her birthday. My budget is very tight, but I still want her to have a great experience and be happy. Can you give me some recommendations for a good atmosphere and overall experience. Suggest some more budget restauranta plus some a little bit more fancier than the budged ones. Thank you!

I need a boat with a captain to take my family out Thursday. Could be pontoon, or bigger. There are 9 of us with 2 kids and want shelling, dolphins, hanging out, swim for the kids, maybe captain be bartender. My whole family is here for what is probably the final family vacay (dad is terminal) and I want all of us to have a fun and relaxing day, on our own without others on the charter. And I don’t want to drive because I want to enjoy too. Suggestions welcome. Thanks

Looking for golf cart rentals in Naples. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Looking for non chain restaurant recommendations that are casual, not insanely expensive, $60 per person, and in Naples. (Please no Ft. Myers) Thanks!

I do not have a car. Car service is quoting over $700, no direct flights anymore. Thanks.

I called county parks and rec over 5 or 6 weeks ago asking them the reason behind the gates being closed and no signage posted at serenity park. They said “oh it’s closed for maintenance after due hurricane Milton. I then asked when will it re-open? The answer I got wad 5-6 weeks. Well 10/9 was 53 days ago so that equals 7.5 weeks now. I’m just a little concerned because I haven’t seen any county workers there working. I’m pissed because now that it’s our good weather season it’s closed and doesn’t seem to be re-opening.

If they do re-open it they need to do something about the people (weirdos) that just take up a parking spot to sit in their car. I don’t allow that bullshit, one day I went up to a guy n said what’s up bro, you just gonna sit in car or you gonna take a hike because I need a place to park and so does this lady pulling in now. END RANT I just miss my convenient getaway from this hustle bustle concrete jungle that they gradually are excavating away every piece of natural land that earth has gifted us, just to line peoples pockets.

You should see what’s being allowed in the historical caxambas area in the southeast quadrant of Marco island. The property owners are pissed they’re approving permits to build on “preserved” gopher tortoise land.

Soon enough Sabal palm with be developed all the way to the trailhead out there but that’s bumpy road and not much shade

Okay I’ve rammed long enough.

Best places to go on the weekends to day drink? Preferably a younger crowd. I know that’s asking a lot in Naples.

Anyone born and raised here? If so how long have you been here? Born here in 98.

What the hell is taking so long?! 2 years later and construction not even started. Wild!

yeah, i know it's not in naples but it's pretty damn close. anyway, they recently closed down and i'm just curious as to why. i'd stop in to hit the sauna occasionally(i go to a nearby, better gym whose only problem is not having a sauna) and the place was always full. so it's not like they didn't have customers.

Heading down to the area in the next few weeks, for a long weekend. Any recommendations of places to stay? Naples or Marco Island? Thanks.

Looking to book a 3-4 day babymoon and eyeing La Playa. I read somewhere it got hit hard by a recent hurricane. Can anyone confirm if it's fully operational? I will be in my third trimester so chilling by the pool/beach are top priorities!

Hey everyone,

It truly breaks my heart to say this, but due to recent events, I can no longer keep my dog. I want to make sure she finds a loving home where she’ll be cared for and happy.

She’s a 2-year-old blue nose mix, full of energy and very playful. She can be a bit timid at times but warms up quickly with patience and love. She has not been fixed yet.

If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out. I’m just looking for a kind and caring home for her—no rehoming fee. I’ll be happy to answer any questions or provide more details.

Thank you for understanding.

I am looking for a bug and exterminator service in Naples. I would appreciate any recommendations.

Having extra family visiting last minute. Anywhere to grab Thanksgiving meals in/around town? Tysm!!!

I am curious what the going rate for sealing paver drive is. My parents just got a quote that I thought was outrageous but I have no idea what is fair per square foot rate would be.

Ahren Belisle is bringing his comedy tour back to Naples, FL. Ahren is a mute comedian who uses his phone to tell joke. Tickets

And by that I mean wtf is that new and monstrous light bar thing at the Rich Hill Parkway? As an occasional cyclist on that path I get it, it's a crossing but wholey toledo is that overkill or what? Can't even begin to imagine what that cost us.

And, it's gonna back up traffic even more during season.

My grand parents wintered in Naples and I came there almost every spring in my late teens, somewhere around 2001 someone on the beach dared me to swim around the fishing pier. Besides being pretty stupid because I didn’t know the water etc is that something that’s not done regularly? Anytime I tell people that later in life from that area it seems like I’m blowing smoke…

Any known famous tattoo shops in the Naples / Fort Myers area ?

I'm coming to Naples soon and am interested in places where the locals eat. No 5th Ave, no chains. I am well versed in all things Pastrami Dan's.

We are monitoring tee times for an upcoming visit to the area. We already have tee times at Old Corkscrew and Salt Leaf. One thing we were noticing was that, say, Monday all the tee times listed are for Black and Tuesday all of the tee times are listed for Gold. If we call the pro shop will they allow us to book the course we want to play?

Hello friends. My wife and I are going to be down in Naples next week visiting our daughter and we will be celebrating our anniversary. I would like to have your suggestions for special occasion restaurants. They don’t have to be down on Fifth Avenue. Thanks in advance.
