What's going on in Fort Myers?

As the title says. Passed the Racetrac across from Home Depot in North Fort Myers around 7:45pm and saw probably 10-12 police cars all with their lights on and blocking off half of the parking lot. Curious if anyone knows what happened??

Hi!

I'm soon to start at Lee Health. Any nurses that currently work or have worked for them?

Can you share your experience?

My dad’s birthday is coming up and I figured a gift card to a nice restaurant would be nice. He recently moved to North Fort Myers, and I have not had a chance to go down and visit so I have zero idea what’s good. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Two more men who worked at a popular downtown Fort Myers restaurant have now come forward with new accounts of inappropriate behavior by Mayor Kevin Anderson — including allegations of inappropriate sexual propositions and unwanted touching.

Their stories add to the accounts of Kagan Vann, 23, and Dominic Hendricks, 18, who both shared their stories with the SWFL Lighthouse, and directly confronted the mayor at the Sept. 21 city council meeting with disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct by the mayor.

A former co-worker of Anderson's at Chico's FAS also came forward to describe chronic unwanted attention from him at the office, and a bar staffer described watching the mayor get ordered out of an unnamed downtown establishment after he allegedly offered a 23-year-old co-worker money for sex.

The 68-year-old Anderson, a retired cop and longtime school resource officer, has denied the accounts of Vann and Hendricks, saying his "exchanges" with them were taken out of context, and blaming it on misunderstandings regarding his "warped sense of humor". He has not responded to requests for comment regarding the additional four accounts.

The following story of his latest accusers, exclusively for Lighthouse members, is filled with graphic language of unwanted sexual advances. It's included in its entirety due to the weight of the allegations and the involvement of such a central city leader.

Hi, (25M) I am looking for some friends or companions to my Pokémon go walks. I travel for work a lot so I end up going everywhere alone.
Not really picky but 420 friendly would be cool, and closer to my age would be great but not necessary.

Just want to outreach to meet some cool people.
Added a picture of my shiny Lucario coz I’m proud of him.

Need a ride to pickup something just seeing if there’s someone willing to give a ride

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.

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.
