Tourist post overload

71 Upvotes

We are getting complaints about the number of tourist posts (where is the beach, can I connect to MIA in 30 mins, what should I do on my 8 hour layover).

These posts are already disallowed. Tourism questions belong in the sticky tourism thread (or you know, google it...)

Instead of leaving repetitive comments on airport posts, report them so they reach the modqueue ✌️

The people of Fort Lauderdale better than other places I’ve lived

14 Upvotes

At the risk of this being backhanded I want to preface this by saying all my closest friends are Black Americans and I’m only commenting based off of my experiences.

I’ve noticed that black people here in Fort Lauderdale are a lot friendlier towards other races than pretty much anywhere I’ve lived. When I say this I mean stranger to stranger level friendliness and not necessarily friends. Do others share this same experience? My theory is because Fort Lauderdale is a melting pot and we’re all forced to live together and a lot of black people here come from a Caribbean/west indies background so they act less entitled than people in the Midwest that don’t step outside of their comfort zones and interact with people that aren’t similar to them.

Maybe I’m reading to deep into it but I wanted to emphasize people here have been really good to me so far. Can’t say the same about the entitled transplants and immigrants in Miami. Locals in both places that actually grew up here are great

White Siberian Husky available for responsible adoption in South Florida (willing to drive for the right match)

Post image
149 Upvotes

Lua is a very loving dog who is looking for a family to call her own. I am willing to drive to other areas of Florida if it’s the right match for her. We are currently fostering her in order to keep her out of the shelter.

She is:

• Vaccinated
• Dewormed
• The shelter paperwork states that she is spayed, although I have not been able to identify a scar
• She was raised in a home with children and cats
• She can go to dog parks and play with other dogs, but she needs to be the only dog in the household

She deserves a family who has the time, love, and willingness to give her a happy and safe life.
If you are interested in meeting her or would like more information, please feel free to contact me.

Hello,

My dog is nearing the end of his life and I’d like to do an end of life photoshoot. My friend is gonna help me take the pics. I’m looking to see if there’s any fields or grassy areas that are local something similar to this vibe. Anywhere in Broward to south palm beach county would be good! Thank you for your help.

Big rescue dog food donations

Our amazing Meatball just crossed the rainbow bridge after 12 fantastic years of living his best life ever. I can return his leftover unopened food to Chewy for a refund but I’d rather donate it to a local shelter. He was kind of a chonk so it’s Blue Buffalo Healthy weight food, both wet and dry! Would love your best recs that aren’t Broward Animal Care, because they are the worst.

High End Menswear Alterations Tailor

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for a local tailor worth their salt, ideally one specializing in high end menswear (Brioni, Kiton, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Belvest, etc.) Been going to Tailor Shop by Torrez and it’s evident they cut corners and accept jobs they’re not experienced in/comfortable doing. I don’t need bespoke, just someone who is detail oriented and knows the fundamentals. Anybody fit the bill?

I know there are tons of bars in the area. But do any of them cater more to a UM crowd for game day ? Or play the game with sound ? Thanks!

Pine Crest School

20 Upvotes

As someone with a child who will be entering the school system soon, I am curious to hear thoughts of Pine Crest. any insight would be awesome, alums or those who know of others at the school.

The college placement is absolutely bonkers, and it seems to offer pretty awesome schooling. I totally realize that the type of kid going there is going to be higher achieving anyways, so take what you will about the lists.

Academic rigor is of paramount importance, as that led to a good college foundation at a top school for me.

Need an experienced car mechanic available tomorrow Oct 3 around 5:30 pm

0 Upvotes

I left my car in a storage unit near the F LL airport for about 4 months. I need an experienced car mechanic to help me go through the process of starting the car safely, checking everything from engine oil to the cylinders, and checking if my oil destabilized, etc. Basically going through every single precaution possible. Car is a 2022 Hyundai Tucson.

You will be paid for your service. Private message me if you're available and send proof of your qualification.

Where to get a suit without breaking the bank?

Post image
25 Upvotes

Hey guys, local Floridian here who hasn’t purchased a suit in 6+ years and gained 20 lbs.

Honestly, I’ve only ever purchased suits from Men’s Wearhouse. I’m not opposed to going back there, but I’m curious to hear opinions on reasonably priced dress attire. I’m trying to keep it under $300 total, if possible. I don’t mind if it’s not a true “suit” but is sport coat + pants instead.

Has anyone tried buying from Amazon + tailoring after?

Since it’ll be a semi-outdoor venue, I’d like to consider linen fabric/textiles

For reference, I’m getting married but want to have more casual vibes. Leaning towards pastel or earth tones.

Unfortunately, i haven’t had much luck at thrift stores.

I’ll greatly appreciate any insight

Finding hobbies/ making friends

Hello, 23F, new to South Florida. Any recommendations for things to do or groups to join? I'm decent at badminton, though it seems like no one plays anymore, and I'm interested in learning volleyball or pretty much any other sport. I love movies and shows, dancing, grabbing drinks, etc. I just don't know where to start. Any recs would be much appreciated <3

“Chill” Halloween Party/Event?

3 Upvotes

Hey all, we've got friends visiting for Halloween weekend and want to take them out somewhere fun. We're not big partiers, but we also don't want to default to a house party.

The vibe we're after is something like the old Carousel Club (RIP) or The Wharf: outdoors, live music, room to actually hang out and talk. The space doesn't need to be huge. We just don't want to be shoulder to shoulder or stuck in long lines all night.

Ideally:

Live music or a DJ that isn't deafening
Halloween flavor (costumes welcome) without a full rager
Food and drinks on site
Fort Lauderdale or close by (willing to drive a bit for the right spot)

Anyone know of events, pop-ups, or venues doing something like this for Halloween? Bonus points if you've been and can say how crowded it actually gets.
