Rules!

Note: we have automoderator set to flag posts that may break these rules so they can be evaluated by the mod team. Appropriate submissions may sometimes get caught by the filter. We’ll get to it eventually, or send a modmail to bring our attention to your missing post if you feel it follows the rules

All rules are enforced at the moderation team’s discretion. Please make any rule suggestions, complaints, or disagreements to modmail, not individual DMs or Reddit chat to specific moderators.

  1. Express yourself, but be civil. This includes hate speech, personal attacks, excessive trolling, etc. Harassment will result in a ban.

  2. Don't post looking to participate in ANY sort of illegal activity. This includes attempting to source medicinal marijuana, cartridges, etc anywhere aside from a licensed establishment.

  3. Please use the search bar/sidebar before asking a question. This includes the wikis! There are plenty of relevant posts that will most likely answer your question. Got a request? Use the "Where In Orlando" Wednesday thread!

  4. Don't spam! No solicitation (this includes both buying and selling tickets). Don't post surveys. Posts on r/Orlando should be related to Orlando in some way.

  5. That "boom" you heard was probably something headed to/from space, thunder, or fireworks from the theme parks. All 3 are completely normal in Central Florida.

  6. No editorialized article titles. If linking an article, ONLY use the exact title of the article (shortening for Reddit character limits are acceptable within reason).

  7. No links to GoFundMe's or any similar donation site.

  8. Follow the Reddit Content Policy!

  9. NEW Misinformation and conspiracy theories are not allowed, including vaccine falsehoods and COVID denialism. Debating is welcome, but stating false claims and opinions as fact is not allowed. This will be enforced at the discretion of the moderation team.

  10. Missing persons posts must include the official poster released by the appropriate law enforcement agency. We do this to prevent cases of stalking or harassment.

  11. Posts about state politics must directly relate to Orlando. Please see this thread for a detailed breakdown of this rule and its exceptions.

  12. Links to sites that are paywalled or require a login to view the content are not allowed. Screenshots of such content are permitted, provided that they comply with all other r/Orlando rules.

Upscale bar/club recommendation for singles

Looking for recs for a nice upscale bar or club in Orlando or north into Seminole County for singles. Went to Bar Louie recently, not sure what I was thinking, I was totally overdressed and lost count of how many hoodies and backwards baseball hats I saw. Nothing wrong with a good dive bar, but I want somewhere nice to go to when I’m in the mood to get dressed up and meet somebody. Any recommendations?

Foundation Repair

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a foundation repair contractor? If you could give some guidance on cost / number of pillars needed, that would be super helpful! If you got multiple quotes, were any companies way above market compared to others, any companies a general nightmare to deal with, etc. Thanks so much!

Am I reading into this?

I was out running some errands today (SoDo area), and I saw a car with a license plate that read "NAZ C22". This was a standard Florida plate. Is this someone who managed to get one past the DMV, or am I really just reading into this too much?

Donate Dry Cat Food?

I have one 7lb bag unopened, and one barely used open (no longer in bag) of dry cat food. Here is the link to the exact brand/flavor: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/blue-buffalo-indoor-health-salmon-and-rice-adult-dry-cat-food. My cat is now on prescription wet and dry food, and I'd like to donate her dry food. Where could I donate that would take either the open but unused and or the unopened cat food?

Dog walker burying dog waste in my front yard

This is in Fern Park which is a bit north of Orlando, but we caught a elderly man walking his dog, allowing it to defecate in the middle of our front yard and then proceeded to produce a trowel with which he dug a hole in our garden and tried to bury the dog waste. We confronted him about this and as he saw nothing wrong with his actions he argued that he was in the right.

What kind of mind believes it is acceptable to dig holes in other people’s property for any reason especially if it is to bury waste that they brought with them?

If you live in Fern Park along South street near Sandalwood Drive watch out for this in your own yard.

OB/GYN - Personalized Care

Hi!

I'm looking for a recommendation for an Ob/gyn in the Orlando or north Orlando area who offers personalized care. We are in Apopka and work in Altamonte but willing to travel where we need to.

Ideally, I want a practice where I can work with one doctor through my pregnancy and have them deliver the baby. I'm okay with a secondary doctor in case of emergency or if my main doctor is on vacation but I want to avoid a situation where I could have any one of 12 doctors showing up to deliver the baby which was what my current provider told me is their practice. I plan on having 1 very planned child and I don't feel comfortable having whoever roll up day of.

Has anyone had a good experience with a practice that allows you to work with one primary doctor through pregnancy and delivery?

Appreciate any advice you can share!

Looking for an artist to do a painting/picture of 2 cats in yin & yang style to be framed as gift for a friend

I was hoping to send my friend a bday gift at end of the month, not sure if that’s too soon of a turn around time. But her cats are constantly cuddling and I’d love to get a portrait of them in yin & yang style i could frame and gift her. Any local artists here that could do that? Would appreciate any samples or quotes for this. Please feel free to reply in comments or DM, thanks!

Devil in the Grove - other recommendations?

Currently reading Devil in the Grove and wow, what an incredible read with a lot of local history I think we could really learn from today. I plan to read another book by the author about another local story called Beneath a Ruthless Sun. I’d love to learn more about similar stories. Does anyone have recommendations of other books about local history along the same vein?

Thinking of Renting in Orlando - Questions On Stuff I'm Confused About

  1. WHY CARPET EVERYWHERE??????? Yuck! Do people actually request this?? All carpet in Orlando is BEIGE?

  2. "Base" rent??? Do they all force you to get the "amenities package?"

  3. Is there a secret to not ending up in a roach-infested shithole with a wife-beating neighbor, even though it looked great online?

  4. Is there a property management shit list somewhere so we can track these guys?

  5. Don't tenants take these predatory landlords to small claims court when they steal their security deposits, and don't they take proper steps to withhold or deduct from rent when repairs aren't made in a reasonable amount of time (to get another repair person)??

What happened to the Trump store?

There’s a Trump store on orange blossom trail in Apopka (I moved here in July and I’ve always seen it passing by) but the other day I drove by and everything was gone and it’s like a flower shop or a vegetable shop or something. This isn’t a political post, I’m just genuinely curious.
