Here we go again. At least we’re not effed like Tampa.

So since ace cafe closed down a while ago, is there another place similar that's hosts meet ups for cars and food? I'm coming into town in a few hours and wish ace was still open.

In one week we will be hosting our next meet up Saturday, October 12th from 3 to 6pm at the Great Southern Box Co. The Great Southern Box Co. is a new food hall in the Packing District. Lots of different types of food and drinks to try. We'll have an area set aside for our group. Can’t wait to see some familiar and new faces. https:// greatsouthernboxco.com 2105 N Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando, FL 32804 We previously have held meet ups 6/29/24 at Ten10 Brewing and 7/27/24 at Tactical Brewing. If you have any connections to businesses willing to host us, please post below.

I’m new to the area and wondering what do these storms that come across central florida usually look like?

This one’s projected so far to be anything from cat 1- cat 4 (believe the pressure is showing cat 4 potential) but Wesh has cat 2 at landfall

we are just not sure if it hits as say a cat 3 or 4 does that typically die down by the time it gets to us?

EDIT: if anyone is confused which storm i’m talking about it’s the one they just tagged as invest 92 that has come over from the pacific. Wesh 2 has projections of it hitting down the I4 corridor and some toward miami.

Now that it’s starting to cool off a bit, it’s time to enjoy some of the beautiful nature around here!

I’m from South Florida and my family is Colombian so I’ve been surrounded by hispanic food my entire life. I’m currently sick and am craving nothing more than like an ajiaco or just some frijoles. I’m in the theme park/ Sand Lake area and am yet to find something that actually tastes good and isn’t insanely overpriced for no reason. Mecatos is fine but they don’t really have meals other than like arepas and burgers. Pls help! Willing to drive in order for semi-authenticity

8 1/2 months pregnant and craving this. I went somewhere around Christmas time in Orlando one year and can’t think of where it was. It’s been so long since I’ve had it and hubs has never tried it before 😭 where can we get one and where do you like it best??

Just drove past Icon Park and the whole place is surrounded by cops, cop vehicles all around and blocking every entrance, even blocking I-Drive in front of the park, and the helicopter on top, anyone knows?

Yeah curiosity got the best of me, was surprised by it and even had to take a detour to leave the area

Whats the best spot for a reuben sandwich? Cheese, sauerkraut, pastrami, the works

46 min to go 10 miles, 30 to go from exit 64 to 60 on WB I4 is nonsense

I thought we were too inland to be affected by a hurricane at that level. Asheville is way more inland and got rocked. I was once told that by the time a hurricane gets that far inland that it loses its gusto so we would never get the brunt of it. Was that wrong? I’m confused.

The past couple days my tap water smells like chlorine, and now stepping outside the air smells like chlorine. Has anybody else noticed this?

I’m born and raised in Florida but recently I went to NY for the first time and I cannot stop thinking about the pizza. If anyone that moved from NY can tell me where I can find pizza here thats the same I will be forever grateful. Also I’ve already tried John & Johns, its pretty good but unfortunately it doesnt taste the same.

Hello everyone!

I love working from coffee shops, libraries, etc., especially since I travel throughout Central Florida for work. Primarily, I enjoy coffee shops because of the smell and ambiance. Can anyone recommend coffee shops or study spots with large/farm-style tables? For example, I've been to Duo58 near Avalon and Stardust in Winter Park—both have that style. Are there any other spots like this in Orlando? Thanks!

Hey guys, do we know of any gig work hiring for same day employees in Orlando? I have a full time job so I’m looking for weekends and evenings!

Open to cleaning and warehouse type stuff, not having much luck on Instawork or Swagbucks so any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Full disclosure, I live in an unincorporated portion of Altamonte Springs where I'm zoned for Lake Brantley but I'm looking at houses in the Altamonte city limits where Lyman High School is zoned. What is the difference between the unincorporated vs. city limits as far as quality of life? Also why in my case, is the the unincorporated areazoned to the better school? This is confusing. Not sure if it's worth living in a nicer house within city limits and send my kids to an average school vs. staying put and sending them to a nicer school. Help!

Sorry if I sound insane but what are some good “free will” things to do in Orlando? I’m 24 and I feel like i’m not taking advantage of my free will enough lol. Some ideas I’ve had are maybe local amateur broadway dance classes, or cook/book clubs, I love the run club they do in Ivanhoe. Any classes that teach random skills, like a lot of people I know in this area took on stilt walking which is cool and pretty useful in Orlando. I’ve done rock climbing which is great and I have classpass which I use for cycling and pilates. It also doesn’t have to be active, it can be creative or adventurous or anything. I will reiterate though I’m 24 and the economy sucks so I’m more inclined to do free/cheap stuff but I’m not opposed to the more expensive activities. I guess I’m really just looking for hobbies but things that don’t take a lot of commitment if that makes sense? Like I probably wouldn’t enroll in a weekly dance class but I know they offer one off ballroom lessons and whatnot. Am I making sense? Hopefully 😭

Hi! My partner and I are visiting Orlando next week and have good news to celebrate (she just got a new job!). I'd like to take her out to a fancy dinner if possible at an all vegan restaurant. Any recommendations? I've looked through previous posts about vegan recs in the city, but it's hard to evaluate if any of them are fancy enough. Thank you!

Looking east from south semoran (Airport área)

Anyone else having issues with spectrum? Going into day 5 of no internet here in East Orlando, with no word on an estimated fix.

Just saw all the lights go out of all the buildings including my own

Anyone know any places that serve dairy free baklava?

Looking to propose to my girlfriend later this month, already have the ring just need the place! Ive lived in Florida all my life and know tons of places but she is kind of picky about where she wants it; she doesn't want to do it at a beach, farm, sunflower or pumpkin patch but seems to be okay with a botanical garden. I am unsure if I want to do a botanical garden due to how similar it is to a farm idea (at least in my head it is). Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am a little late to the party, but I got a text from one of the Orlando political parties with a list on who to vote for on judicial retentions.

I’m a bit skeptical to just vote yes or no because a website tells me to, and I can’t seem to find good resources to check up on this topic.

How do you, fellow Orlando folks, decide on when voting for judicial retentions?

My personal take is that the Florida Supreme Court needs a shake up.

Here’s who’s on the ballot for retention:

Supreme Court Justice Renatha Francis

Supreme Court Justice Meredith Sasso

District Court of Appeal Judge Paetra Brownlee

District Court of Appeal Judge Roger Gannam

District Court of Appeal Judge Joshua Mize

District Court of Appeal Judge Jared Smith

District Court of Appeal Judge Keith White

Thanks for participating and I look forward to a good discussion.

I’m looking to book this accommodation. It’s a 3bd 2 bth at Palisades in Orlando Florida . I saw a few reviews talking about the poor customer service and a foul Odor. Before booking I’d like to ensure that I’m staying at a reputable, clean and safe accommodation . Can anyone give me any feedback regarding their stay ??

Just like the title states, does anyone have any recommendations/experiences with cooking classes in the area? I tried googling some but searches didn’t really turn up anything useful. Would prefer a class where we go to the chef not them coming to our home.

Anyone know where i can get some egusi soup and fufu?

For business owners, what’s your biggest challenge right now?
