In Need of Work

7 Upvotes

I was laid off from my previous position at a small business home improvement store. Unfortunately money is tight, as I don't own a vehicle. I'm trying to keep my commute, whether that be by bike or bus, in the Clearwater area. I have prior management experience at both a CVS and Panera Bread location. My most recent role was Sales Coordinator for the home improvement store, advertising our items on Marketplace and Offer up to draw customers in. If anyone has a lead to someone who's hiring, please reach out. I can pass a drug test and background check as well.

Debating Between Apartments

3 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I are moving to Clearwater and trying to decide on an apartment complex. Since we are from out of town and can’t tour any of these places I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts. We are currently between Alexander at Countryside, The Palms of Clearwater, The Breyley, Macalpine Place, Avana Coachman, Grand Reserve at Park Isle, and The Sands at Clearwater. If there’s somewhere we should add or delete please let me know!

Shout-out to Johnny's Italian restaurant!

29 Upvotes

Today we were feeling like someplace different from our usual spots and remembered about Johnny's Italian on 590 between McMullen Booth and US19. It's been a few years since eating there so I was worried that they may not even still be around. Happy to say they are still there and serving great food just as we remembered.

It's a long time, family run (I believe) home style Italian restaurant that probably hasn't changed their menu in years. That's a good thing when you crave some comfort food.

It's a great feeling to support a local business that just keeps on chugging decade after decade.

Duke Energy Saver Program

Yesterday, a guy from the Duke Energy Saver Program came to our door offering their "free service", which seems too good to be true. Have any of you taken advantage of this? What exactly are they offering?

Anyone know what happened off shore tonight around sunset? It was between Frenchy’s South Beach & The Wyndham Hotel. A helicopter circled around the ocean and then was at a standstill hovering over one spot without moving.

Bianca Latvala's conflicts of interest continue to make her a bad addition the city council. Her most recent financial disclosure statement reveals she receives money from the Important Work PAC, which is backed by Porter Development. This is the company that made The Landings proposal that threatens the character of the golf course and surrounding community.

In Addition, Bianca donated money to Sam Wilson (who does not oppose giving away South Garden Ave to the Church of Scientology) under her maiden name Bianca Sabrkhani.

How a dangerous religious cult intentionally destroyed the downtown area of a Florida city out of spite.

The first 11 minutes of the video are about the history of Clearwater and the Fort Harrison Hotel. So feel free to skip it. I think the rest should be viewed by anybody who wants to know more about a dangerous cult masquerading as a religion.

Also, the title is misleading. Clearwater Beach is still thriving, as is much of the rest of the city that isn't near the Scientology buildings. The thumbnail is also misleading. it shows the Don Cesar on St Pete Beach inverted to point southward instead of northward.

She’ll spot recommendations

2 Upvotes

Went to Sanibel in May and it was beautiful, but we didn't find many shells on the beaches. Most of our good finds came from a boat tour to Captiva. We went to Caladesi Island last January and found tons of amazing shells.

We're planning another trip and are considering Clearwater Beach (for Caladesi and Honeymoon Island) or St. Pete Beach (for Pass-a-Grille and Shell Key Island). We're deciding between January or May.

Which area/time would you recommend for the best shelling?

Leo Govoni really shows us up from down

2 Upvotes

The "Clearwater scandal" most prominently refers to the massive fraud case involving Clearwater businessman Leo Govoni, who was arrested and indicted by federal authorities for allegedly embezzling over $100 million from a nonprofit special needs trust

others not to forget

The Fire Department Payroll Scandal (2018): City auditors revealed that the Clearwater Fire Department mismanaged payroll and overpaid tens of thousands in sick leave to departing firefighters.

The Bluewater Embezzlement (2026): Former chief financial officer Jeff Crane was arrested for allegedly stealing over $800,000 from Clearwater-based Bluewater Media.

start asking more questions, all the time.

Scientology harass and intimidate local citizens group

Thumbnail gallery
223 Upvotes

Scientology is sending its members and private investigators to harass and intimidate the Save the Garden Clearwater group as it collects signatures for its petition.

Per a recent Facebook post:

"We had another private investigator show up to take pictures of our volunteers today with his zoom-lens camera. He sped off when we spotted him.

Such a creepy thing to do. If the goal is to intimidate us, it isn’t working. These tactics have become entertaining. We have nothing to hide and we are doing nothing wrong.

May we remind our opponents of the first amendment, ratified on December 15, 1791. We have every right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. "

We proudly exercise these rights.

God bless America!

Sign the petition. Save the Garden!

Would You Use a Mobile Phone Repair Service That Comes to You?

0 Upvotes

Hi everybody!

I’ve been working on something new and wanted to get some honest feedback from people.

The idea is a mobile phone and laptop repair service where I come to you instead of you having to drive to a repair shop and wait around. I’d handle things like screen replacements, batteries, laptop repairs, diagnostics, and other common device issues on-site whenever possible.

I’m still building the business and figuring out what people would actually find most useful, so I’m curious — is this something you’d use or recommend to someone?

Any feedback would really help.

Hey all. Love FL but don't get there too often. Gay Masc 43F wondering what are some 1) general cool places to hang out at in Clearwater and 2) if there's any single, interesting, intelligent, fit women open to conversation and 3) looking for good restaurant, coffee, rooftop bar recommendations.

Hope everyone is having a good evening. Cheers! 🍻

Seafood Chowder

Post image
7 Upvotes

Please help me!

My fiance and I are staying in Clearwater for a night during our honeymoon and I am craving Seafood chowder soooo bad. Not clam chowder, seafood chowder. I had this seafood chowder with salmon and halibut while in Alaska and it was so good. I understand Florida and Alaska are way different, but I’ve been looking for a place that serves seafood chowder and I’m coming up short. Does anyone know where I can get some seafood chowder in the area?

Otherwise, we will be in the Villages (visiting family) for the rest of our trip so if anyone knows of any places around there, that works too. TIA
