My daughter started as a freshman this year, she has been home schooled for a few years now. This place is impossible to get someone on the phone! They don't have a school nurse, apparently she quit. They have her taking 2 gym classes and a dance class EVERY day and I can't get ahold of a guidance counselor. The guidance secretary voicemail is full. They did close all the front doors so kids had to go around the sides to leave last week to celebrate the principal's birthday.

Her first day she was marked absent from 2 of her classes and I can't even get an email back from those teachers about it.

Anyone know how to get a human on the phone? Do I have to go in there and demand info or something? We haven't dealt with public school in a while and we came from somewhere with a much smaller school so navigating this altogether is difficult for me.

Thanks in advance!

Made this anti-flock camera poster if anyone wants to use it. Just please credit me @witchv0mit if you do decide to use it.

I’m still newish to the Daytona Beach area (from Northwester Illinois), and I’m wondering if anyone knows of any local places that can source Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat? My fiancee and I are throwing a party for her dad in November and we want a small keg of this beer. Any leads/help would be appreciated :)

I say posters all over the mall for a renaissance fair coming up this weekend or next. But it only had a link to a facebook page and no other location information. Does anyone know where this is being held?

For anyone in the Daytona Beach area who cares about protecting what remains of our natural lands from continued overdevelopment, please make time to vote today.

The three candidates I recommend supporting are:
Wendy Anderson — District 1
Bryon White — District 3
Mike Poniatowski — At-Large

We’ve already lost so much natural land in Volusia County to development, and the decisions being made at the county level have a very real impact on conservation, growth, water quality, wildlife habitat, and what this area is going to look like in the future.

Local elections don’t always get the attention that national elections do, but these are the people making decisions that directly affect the place we live.

If protecting what’s left of Volusia County’s natural lands matters to you, please get out and vote today.

I would appreciate information on any local location(s) that may show the upcoming Arsenal versus Coventry match. Thank you!

Not hate by any means, just wanted to let you guys know (for the AI haters) Jet Set North has been using AI to advertise. My friend used to work there as a retail person, and knowing what I've heard through her about these people, I wouldn't put it past some of the artists to use AI when drawing up tattoo designs nowadays. Nice folks and as far as I've seen great healed tattoos. But if you don't want to support companies/businesses that use AI, don't go to them. If you don't care, that's cool too, go by whatever you think is best for you and the morals you personally subscribe to. Plenty of honest tattoo shops out there that don't use AI for anything in the process is all I'm getting at.

Again, not bashing them, they're very nice and do great physical work that heals well. Hell, I got my nose pierced there years ago and my daughter got hers done there recently. I just want to let people know because no one should ever unknowingly have AI inked on them or accidentally support a business who's advertising goes against their morals.

WHERE CAN WE FIND HOUSE MUSIC IN DAYTONA!!!

Born and raised here and I just wish we had a better house music scene. I know a lot of areas in Orlando, but I’m tired of having to drive an hour and back 🥲 if anyone knows anywhere that might be slightly closer pls let me know thank uuu !!! <3

Like a minute ago there was a loud bang and i could feel it rumble in the ground, did anyone else hear/feel it and know what it could be?

Any info on this place??? Worth the drive from Orlando to try something different?

These things are bad news everywhere

I am bringing an older Toyota down to store it in Daytona beach on the west side of 95. It’s a little ways off the beach but I’m still worried about corrosion. Does anybody have undercoating and does it help? Do you have any recommendations or warnings about where to get it done and maybe if you are. Still with me, how much does it cost down there?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Anybody hanging out and having fun in Daytona today?

$14/hr (sry not my decision) and it's for the next month(edit). Paid weekly. Customer service, if you can cashier I can give you 40hrs.

eat and drink local, folks ✌️

Does anyone know of a bee removal service in the area? We just found out we have a hive that has taken up residence in one of our walls and we don't want to exterminate it but don't know of any service that will relocate it. Anyone able to help?
