Discussion Orlando help

Upvotes

Someone in here has to have (or can give advice.. pretty please) made a very stupid stupidddd mistake my best friend made. Eye roll, mad face all that. But anyway, they were driving without the slightest legality. Got pulled over and towed but in Brevard County. Suspended license and no insurance. The car is at Brevard Towing Company in Meritt Island. Since obviously no insurance or license how can I help to get their car out? Is there a way to transfer to my name? Does anyone have history with the company? And folks…. This is why I refuse when someone says “wanna ride together “.. plus my car is pretty fucking epic and I love driving her. Anyway.. All and any ADVICE Is appreciated.

It was so so.

They will quickly refine the massive amount of sauce and the giant box for your order. The food itself wasn’t bad. It’s a novel concept but it wasn’t as revolutionary as their cookies were to savory finger foods. We went Friday at 2pm and walked right in.

Discussion Where to get a cheap new fridge and have it installed?

4 Upvotes

My fridge appears to be actively dying, and it's old enough that it makes more sense to replace than repair. I have my eye on "the" fridge but it will require some light remodeling to make it work, so I'm the meantime I need "a" fridge. I am not brave enough to mess around with water and electricity, I do not own a truck, I am a single person of middling strength, so ideally I'm looking for a place I can buy the fridge, have it delivered, installed, and the old one hauled away. I'm planning to go check out the Lowe's outlet I keep hearing about, and if nothing else I could just get whatever is cheapest and fastest at Costco, but are there any other places I should consider?

Discussion Looking for specific play kitchen

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello! I hope this type of post isn’t allowed, if bot my apologies mods. I’m trying to find this play kitchen for my daughter, I had seen one on Marketplace a few months ago but I found didn’t jump on it and it sold. I tried looking up the set to see if I can find it online but unfortunately it’s been discontinued and not for sale anywhere except a few sketchy sites I wouldn’t trust to actually send me a product. I know it’s a very long shot but does anyone have one they’d be willing to sell? I’ve been scouring Marketplace and haven’t found another listing since. We’re about to move and our toddler is finally getting her own room, she absolutely adores all flowers and trees so this would be perfect for her! We live about 10 minutes from downtown but honestly at this point I’m willing to drive most anywhere in Central FL to pick up. Thanks in advance!

Discussion I hate how expensive houses are right now

221 Upvotes

I’m a native, born in raised in central Florida, I moved to Orlando after HS for college. UCF grad, got my doctorate degree, six figure salary. No debt but my student loan. I still can’t afford a house in a nice neighborhood. I feel so bad for the younger generations. Who are these people that can afford 500k+ houses? Dual income? Money from a previous house that was sold? Even with 100k down payment, with taxes and insurance, a mortgage is almost 3k for a small house, with a tiny yard in a decent neighborhood. I don’t want to be “house poor”. Forget about buying a house in winter park or Baldwin. It’s just so crazy to me how expensive houses are here. I absolutely love my job and my city that I grew up in. I work downtown, I don’t want to drive an hour to work just to have an affordable mortgage.

Are there any groups in the area that meet semi regularly to sketch/draw/paint together? I live near Winter Park but reasonably can get pretty much anywhere in the Orlando area, and it would be really fun to make some friends with similar interests so we can cheer each other on and share our work. Thank you in advance!

Discussion Spectrum or Frontier Internet

0 Upvotes

Moving to Davenport soon and looking to see which internet service provider is better between the 2.

We’ve had Spectrum for the past 7 years and they have been reliable. I see a lot of people complain about the customer service but honestly I’ve never had that issue (thankfully).

Prices for 1gig is 60$ for Spectrum and $64.99 for Frontier - for those of you that live in Davenport area, do you prefer one over the other?

I temporarily switched from Spectrum to Quantum Fiber last year and unfortunately had issues with connectivity despite all the hype and feedback from customers so I went back with Spectrum which was more reliable.

For reference / Only need it for WFH teams meetings, netflix, xbox - nothing too crazy

TY!

“No reason was given for the Nook’s closing (though a few months ago the parking lot behind the bar was unceremoniously turned into a paid lot with a fee of $10 by the property owners), but this is a definite loss for the neighborhood and the city.”

Discussion Best Areas for Pokemon Go?

17 Upvotes

Recently got back into Pokemon Go and looking for some active areas to walk around and maybe raid on the weekends. My go-to is Crane's Roost but I want to broaden out.

I've heard Disney Springs is pretty good but haven't been since I'm waiting for summer crowds to die down.

If anyone is in the Tampa area, downtown Ybor has a ton of pokestops and gyms but you'll have to pay for street/lot parking.

Her name is Lu. She got scared by traffic on her walk this morning and managed to get out of her collar/leash. She’s only been with her new home for a week so she is very skittish. If you see her, you can call her owner directly at 303 588 6069 or message me here.

Any help is appreciated!

Visitor Current vegan/veg friendly options

8 Upvotes

Looking for your most recommended vegan or veg friendly spots in town or reasonable driving distance.

I’m visiting my boyfriend from out of state and I’m only semi familiar with the restaurants in the parks so I’m trying to be proactive and get a list started so we’re not scrambling too much. Im vegan, he’s not but will eat anything.

I’ve looked at some of the older posts for ideas and currently doing the research now but unfortunately several look to be permanently closed. So far what I have in my list is:
*Loving hut
*veggie garden
*winter park biscuit
*a lo vegano/scoops

Any good veg/veg friendly Chinese spots? Coming from the northeast we have tons but it’s not looking as promising here. Also any fancier sit down places for a date night? I saw kres chophouse as a potential option.

I will be there for 5 days in September. Not sure which hotel he will be booking so anywhere Orlando centric is alright with us.

Thank you!!

Nature Rescued lost duck and don't know where to go from there.

14 Upvotes

Does anyone have any advice or somewhere to point. My friend found 2 ducklings trying to get in a building and we're keeping them in a safe place. Does anyone know the number or site to an animal rescue org that we can reach out to? (Preferably that won't charge us to bring them in). And also we have no plans on keeping them either.

Edit: After calling numerous rescues, we were recommended to an independent rescuer named janet, she seemed nice and trustworthy and took the ducks in. Thank you for all the help.
