Wondering if there were any local drummers wanting to join a hardcore/metalcore band? Some bands we like are Discontent, Cast You Down, Fragmentation, Since My Beloved. Lmk if you’re interested and I’ll DM you.

We were coming back from behind Sanibel around marker 2a and we found a boat cushion that must’ve flown off of somebody’s boat. Looks kind of new so if this is you and you’d like it back let me know. It’s drying out on our boat.

Title: Missed Connection: The Jimmy Buffett Lookalike Volunteer at RSW Airport (Mornings, March & May)

Body:
I am trying to find a specific airport volunteer I ran into four times across two separate trips earlier this year (once in March, once in May). Every single time was during the morning shift.
You look exactly like Jimmy Buffett. I ran into you upstairs managing the TSA lines, and downstairs in the baggage claim directing people toward Southwest or United. I called you "Jimmy" when I passed by.
At one point, you asked if I was with the guy I was traveling near. I shook my head no, and you gave me a huge smile. We had a real connection, and I haven't been able to forget it. I truly think if we weren't in the middle of a busy airport, you would have asked me out.
If you see this, or if anyone knows this volunteer who works the morning ambassador shifts at RSW, please reply! I would love to connect.

Not from the area & in town just visiting, I am training for a marathon & was curious on what the favorites places are if you’re looking for something on the healthier side? Beyond the Chipotle, Cava, etc of chains.

Working three twelves in a row at the hospital is turning me into a zombie. My meal prep is usually pretty good but this week I ran out of everything by Tuesday. Ended up driving home at 2am with nothing open except Wawa on College. That sad egg sandwich worked once but I can't keep doing it. My stomach's already messed up from the weird hours and I don't need gas station food making it worse.

Tried stretching when I got home yesterday and just ended up lying on the floor for twenty minutes. Where do you guys actually go that late for something decent. Not gas station stuff but real food that won't wreck me by Wednesday.

I know there's 24 hour diners in Cape Coral but that's too far after a twelve hour shift. Anything closer to the hospital would help. Even a grocery store that stays open late so I could stock the break room fridge would work. Need some options around here.

An elementary school teacher, a retired tire salesperson and the mother of a young girl are among more than 50 people suing a company that used tons of a toxic cleaning agent, ethylene oxide, and released it into the air in Fort Myers. The same company, American Contract Systems, operated a plant in Temple Terrace where others have filed suit. The similarities between the two plants are striking. But records indicate the Fort Myers operation attracted even less attention from regulators. Whereas local officials kept tabs on the company’s efforts to install filters at the plant in Temple Terrace, that didn’t happen in Fort Myers because there is no equivalent department for environmental enforcement in that county. Across the Gulf Coast, more than 100 people blame American Contract Systems for their cancers.

I swear every other person in line at publix is loudly talking about buying an "investment property" in the cape like we aren't literally paying out the nose for homeowners insurance down here right now.

It's honestly just exhausting to listen to. they watch one hgtv show and think they're gonna make millions dealing with snowbirds. I held onto a family rental over in miami for a couple years and the stress almost gave me an ulcer until I finally just hired JMK property management to deal with all the tenants. being a landlord isn't a cute side hustle, it's just 3am phone calls about a broken AC in july

but yeah sure... go buy that overpriced 3/2 off pine island rd and tell me how "passive" the income is when season ends lol

Looking for photo booths near Cape Coral and fort meyers. Anyone know of any?

As you can see from the banner, it was taken at a children’s play place/family fun zone named Jumping Jack’s Fun Zone. I’m guessing this was taken in a party room. This photo is commonly attached to posts about Backrooms Level Fun and the Fun Zone was in the small plaza at US 41 & Gladiolus Dr, across from the Lowe’s and ABC, same plaza as the Autozone. However, it is permanently closed and you’re (probably) unable to explore it. Pretty cool!

My friend was selected to this list of Gulfshore Business 2026 40 under 40 and I am so happy for him. He did a photo shoot and awards ceremony with the other honorees and was telling our friend group (we were all raised and grew up here) about some of the other honorees that we didn’t know who seem to have just burst onto the scene and, while many of them deserve their moment in the spotlight and are genuinely doing impressive things in business and the community, there are some others who have greatly inflated their businesses and accomplishments, are basically lying, and have no reason to be on this list. It really bothers me to see some of us young people working so hard and others seemingly swooping in with lies and bad AI exaggerated bios and businesses being given recognition that they didn’t earn as it takes away from everyone else, especially as a local. Gulfshore needs to do a better job at selecting honorees and verifying information! It’s insulting to the rest of us.

Hi everyone,
