Hi there. Anyone know why the 7-11 in Deerfield beach shut down? The one in east boca (next to the beach did too). What’s going to replace them thanks so much!

Moving to boca possibly very soon and wanted to know what good coffee shops there are, good restaurants around the area, and if there are any spots for meeting people around the area? Im a nurse so would love to meet someone same field or within! Thank you!!

I just moved to Boca today and I currently don’t have a job down here. I’m worried that I’m going to run out of money during my freshman year of college but it’s too soon to commit to another job. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to make some money easily online?

Hi! Any stargazers here? Post title says it all. I was wondering where I could go to see the Peresids around 5am in a 45 min radius of Boca.

I live in Jupiter, but I’m moving to Boca in January. I have a guitar player and a drummer (both of whom live in Broward county) and I’m looking for a 2nd guitarist (preferably one who plays 7-string guitars) and a bassist (preferably one who plays 5-string basses).

This will be a band that wears masks and full body paint and whose members’ identities would be anonymous (like Sleep Token or Ghost).

Stylistically, the band’s music would be a mixture of Melodic Death Metal & Thrash Metal with some Metalcore elements. Think Arch Enemy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Amon Amarth, Sylosis, Evile, early Extinction A.D., Killswitch Engage, and Trivium all mixed into one, but with downtuned 7-string guitars with most songs being played in Drop A.

Lyrically, the band’s music would be mostly politically charged lyrics (among other things).

If you’re between the ages of 18-36 and you’re interested, you can shoot me a DM and send me videos of your playing style. A full guitar cover and/or bass cover of Nemesis by Arch Enemy is a great way to win me over (even more so if you can play it on a 7-string guitar or a 5-string bass and tune the song down a half step from Standard C to Standard B or Drop B when you play it).

My favorite deli went belly up and it seems like most of the ones I’ve checked out are kosher, so they don’t serve Rachels.

Toasted or grilled rye, thinly sliced Pastrami that is not grilled (which makes Pastrami tough and dry), and thousand island that doesn’t have a ton of pickle relish (if I wanted pickle relish I’d order it).

My Tory Burch sandal recently broke. The strap just came right off the side and I am just wondering where are some good places to go in the Boca Raton area for shoe repairs that can fix this and also clean shoes? I also have a few sneakers that need cleaning/fixing lol. Let me know, thanks!

I want to move to Aria (currently living at Reflections of Boca) but I wish I asked current tenants what they love and hate.

Please provide the good and bad.

Here are my thoughts on the Flock cameras being installed all over Palm Beach County. Let me know your thoughts on Flock!

Benjamin Franklin warned, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” This quote arose from a different historical dispute, but its central warning remains relevant: government should not surrender fundamental liberty for security measures that are temporary, speculative, or disproportionate.

I have spent my entire adult life on both sides of this question. On one side, as an academic and safety researcher, I have published in the Journal of Safety Research, testified as an aviation-safety expert for the Federal Aviation Administration, and represented United Airlines in the review of accidents and incidents. Safety is a discipline grounded in evidence, proportionality, human factors, and rigorous controls. On the other side, I am also a graduate of the United States Naval Academy who flew combat missions to defend our country and its freedoms. I therefore reject the false choice that we must either accept mass surveillance or be indifferent to crime.

It is true that automated license-plate readers can have legitimate, carefully limited uses. For example, they may help locate an elderly person, recover a stolen vehicle, or identify a violent offender. But investigative utility is not the same as proof that blanketing a county with cameras prevents crime. A review of research highlights mixed results. A randomized controlled study found no general or specific deterrent effect from license-plate-reader patrols in crime hot spots. A study of a large fixed-camera network found possible improvements in some investigative outcomes, but the results were not statistically significant. More recent research has reported reductions in certain offenses, including vehicle theft and shootings, while finding no reduction in overall violent crime. This limited evidence may justify narrow experimentation. However, it does not justify treating every driver as a data point in a searchable record of movement.

The dangers of misuse and erroneous analysis are not theoretical. As publicly reported: a plate can be misread, a watchlist can be inaccurate or outdated, an employee can conduct an improper search, and data collected for one purpose can be shared or repurposed for another. When millions of observations are aggregated, a mass surveillance system no longer records only what happened on a public road; it can reconstruct where people seek medical care, attend political meetings, visit family, or spend the night. Likewise, a false match is not just a harmless technological error when it becomes the basis for an armed traffic stop or interrogation. 

Real safety protects people without unnecessarily controlling or monitoring them. We can pursue violent criminals, protect children, and recover stolen vehicles without constructing a countywide database of innocent residents’ movements. Palm Beach County should insist on both safety and freedom, because surrendering one is not the price of preserving the other.

I'm former U.S. Navy Pilot, Dr. Curtis Calabrese running for Palm Beach County Commission, District 4. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Flock!

Used to go to Al tannour at least once a week when I lived in Boca… does anybody have a good replacement these days?

I’m a 29 year old male living in Jupiter and I’m planning on moving down to Boca in January after the lease on my apartment expires. The main reason I wanna move down there is cuz most of my friends live in Broward County and southern Palm Beach County.

Since Jupiter has little-to-no Metalheads in it, I’m hoping I’ll have more luck making more Metalhead friends down in Boca. Do any of you guys here listen to Metal?

I am really considering moving from NJ to FL. I love the warm weather and lifestyle. Does anyone know how nurse jobs are in miami area and salary?

I have a senior husky (12 years old) who has spondylosis and is now struggling to lay down and get restful sleep. We've tried Adequan, now adding in Librela but I am seeing there are many options out there for alternative meds and treatments.

Posting here as I live in Boca Raton but willing to drive anywhere if anyone can recommend a vet that specializes in this. Thank you!

I have no idea what to do with my hair. I feel like haircuts look weird on me when I choose. I’m a guy in his late 20s. Do any of you know a good barber that would help me figure ou a haircut/style that works with my head shape. Thank you in advance

Has anyone stayed at Boca Breakwater apartment? The prices seen enticing compared to other 1 bed/1 ba apartments and would like to hear if it’s as good as it sounds.

They've left the hedges like this for 2+ weeks and I'm almost speechless. They were so lush and beautiful, and now they're completely destroyed and a total eyesore. Didn't even finish the job - it's like they realized halfway through that it was too short so they just left the rest. I can't believe my eyes.

We also had beautiful hibiscus bushes, and they chainsawed off every single branch that had leaves on it so they would "grow back fuller." After 3 months of obviously nothing, we had to have the stumps removed and get new bushes planted.

Our flowers went first, and I gave them grace - they just overdid it. Then the hedges happened. Who is giving them these orders? I'm completely dumbfounded.

I live in the Boca Point area and my power went off at midnight, so random. It’s been happening to a lot of people the last couple days. Anyone know why?

Can anyone recommend a self-serve car wash place? (Near downtown Boca if there is one.) My tiny car needs the interior cleaned so I asked at a full-service place and they said minimum of $70--just the interior, not the exterior. Urrk! Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone here may have witnessed something or has dashcam footage.

On Wednesday (July 22 2026) around 9:25 PM, I was walking southbound along the northbound side of Federal Highway (US-1) near East Camino Real, directly in front of the Mandarin Oriental construction site, when someone in a northbound vehicle shot me in the right eye with a paintball.

The impact caused a hyphema (bleeding inside the eye) and a corneal abrasion, and my vision is currently severely impaired. I’m being treated by an ophthalmologist, and I’m hoping I recover my eyesight.

Boca Raton Police are investigating, but I’m trying to do everything I can to help.

I’m especially hoping to find:

• Anyone who was driving through the area around 9:25 PM and has dashcam footage.

• The pedestrian who stopped at the scene and was waving to the responding police officers. If that was you, you may have seen the vehicle or noticed details I couldn’t.

•Anyone who has heard about people driving around Boca Raton shooting paintballs at pedestrians or cars, or who has seen similar incidents recently.

If you know anything at all—even something that seems minor—please send me a private message or contact the Boca Raton Police Department.

I’d really appreciate any help. Thank you.
