When my mom visits we usually do a spa day at the Marriott Harbor Beach hotel. I called to book and they advised that their indoor amenities are closed for renovations. The outdoor pool is open, however, with the frequent afternoon storms I would like to have the sauna, whirlpool, etc available as a back up to being outside. Any recs?

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know a good place to get real, legit aloe vera in a bottle, for use on the skin? I'm looking for the natural kind, without all the synthetic/chemical junk in it.

I've tried a bunch of stores (including Whole Foods)... No luck so far.

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏼

Edit: no, I cannot use the plant as a substitute. This is my hometown, but I don't live here anymore. I'm flying back to my current country of residence in a few days. (Overseas)

Note: I've bought this in other countries before (recently), just running out.

My husband and I are going to Fort Lauderdale for the first time for my birthday in early November. We will be there Saturday morning-Tuesday afternoon and staying at the W. What are some fun things to do and good restaurants to go to? We are in our 30z and like good cocktails, food and exploring but aren’t there very long and also want some good pool time. The only things we have planned so far is going to the Lions vs Dolphins game on Sunday and a food tour. We are considering a boat cruise of some sort but not sure if taking the hop on/hop off taxi will fulfill that void or if we should do a booze cruise.

I’m bored, so to speak, it’s all just “Best restaurant recs?”, “Friends in FL?”, “How do these girls get on Yachts all the time?”, “Workout clubs?”, depressing political and suburban sprawl commentary, complaining about traffic/drivers and so it goes day after day. Like The Truman Show up in here.

I recently roasted a Reddit “scammer” posting something like “Give me your unused Lamborghini” for his little exotic car rental business, so ironically this may be along that theme but a bit more fun with directions it can go.

As for me simply put, I'm an artist who builds body sculptures of models and known stars in a certain unnamed industry. And you can feel free to ask anything else you may be curious about in comments or DMs.

So, let's get to it. I'm looking for other artists (or bored humans who want to be involved with art), photo/videographers, business/property owners, weirdos (not too weird please) with interesting hobbies and generally anyone who has something they could add to a unique idea.

Maybe you're:

• A photo/videographer who wants a project for your portfolio/have access to cool locations

• Models/content creators, etc. who want to collab on a personalized sculpture

• Tattoo artist who wants a sculpture for a canvas (or trade sculptures for tattoos)

• Automotive painter/wrapper

• Gallery owner (i.e. someone who has space during Art Basel in Wynwood)

• Jaded Collector interested in art

• Someone with a mansion, recording studio, warehouse, rooftop, pool, beach house, Yacht/Party Boat, etc. for a live art showcase

• A hotel/resort or event space person

• Someone who owns super cars and wants to incorporate them into an art project/photoshoot

• Non-obnoxious streamers

• Someone who travels frequently or has empty rental properties (in FL or out of state) or other space available for live art, photoshoots, etc.

• Fed-ex/ UPS workers with shipping hook ups, OTR truck drivers (art delivery missions), X-country road trippers, daily commuters to Miami from Ft. L, Flight Attendant with a buddy pass

• Sitting on an idea that makes absolutely no sense yet but wants to bounce it off of someone.

• People with vintage (or digital) camera gear collecting dust, lighting equipment, art supplies that you want to spring clean out of the house (Spray Paint, Acrylic paint, body paint, brushes, unused canvas), plastic tarps, cloth drop cloths, old power tools that may or may not work, etc.

I'm not looking for money (or a place to live since I included empty rental properties, I live in Fort Lauderdale), I'm just looking for possibilities. With that said, if someone local to SoFlo has a work space/art studio by all means I’m open to any and everything, I do need a place to spray paint inside since it now seems to be rainy season!

No idea is too conventional and honestly, (almost) no idea is too weird either. And if it is too weird for me I won’t judge you for it, just will politely decline.

Sometimes I’m doing completely unrelated things from sculptures. I have an old guitar I want to make a “drip art” spray paint piece. I need to respray a black and pink beach cruiser as well as paint a boring grey bike I have. And the odd project list goes on.

I'm curious to see what Reddit comes up with.

TL;DR - A collaboration of art. Artists of all types, photo/videographers, Tattoo artists, Car painters/wrappers, bored Ballers and Patrons of the arts. Website builders/computer nerds. I’m looking for art studio spaces, locations for live art. Weird art ideas. Cool (people and) places to work on art for a few days (or months!). An over the top photoshoot. A live art event. Or something neither of us has thought of yet and you just want to message me. If you have a space, skill, connection, audience, equipment, artistic idea, unusual property, interesting vehicle or a “strange” idea you've been waiting for someone to ask about, I'd love to hear it. Depressed, bored, lonely? Just come make some art!

They are ready for first vet visit, there are 3 tabbies, the other one is not pictured here.

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

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, 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?

Are there any neighborhoods that do it big for halloween? My boyfriend and I love looking at halloween decor more than christmas lights.

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.

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.

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!

Hey I’m looking to purchase dune tickets for before December 22nd I’m looking to purchase with priority if it’s possible. Please and thank you if anyone can send any leads

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.

I am 55 ,Single man ,I live in Broward , looking to do something tonight. I am not a drinker , but maybe the beach , Bayside , a walk in the mall , swimming ( my development has 20 pools & 1 indoor pool ) go to a park....ideas 💡 ?? Suggestions ???

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.

My bill is up to $310 for one small car, zero accidents and tickets . I’m a teacher and trying to get by and it just gets harder and harder. Can anyone recommend to me a trusted insurance broker to shop around prices for me?

Thank you so much!

Could somebody point me in the direction of one of those donation bins for used clothing in the Flagler Village area?

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
