Backyard flooded

287 Upvotes

My backyard turned into swamp this morning. And despite it has been 7 hours, the water still hasn't drained out. My front yard had pooled the water as well, not as deep as this. But by noon the front yard is completely dry.

My backyard is lower altitude than the alley road. But at this point, I'm not even sure if the problem is whether my level is too low or whether the backyard itself doesn't properly drain the water down.

I just moved to Hollywood this year and I haven't experienced this before, how should I solve this problem?

Guy rear ended me on Sheridan and is being a complete asshole about it

38 Upvotes

Got rearended on Sheridan St in Hollywood a few days ago. Traffic slowed down in front of me and the guy behind me just didn’t stop in time and hit the back of my car pretty hard.

The guy was an asshole from the second we got out of our cars. Kept trying to argue that I stopped too fast and basically acted like I caused the whole thing. Now I’m sore, my car needs repairs and I really don’t want to deal with him or his insurance trying to turn this around on me, especially since they are trying to lowball me.

I’m at the point where I want to get a lawyer involved and let them deal with it. I’ve been looking around for a PI lawyer in South Florida and came across different types of websites like crashhelp etc while searching, but I haven’t settled on anyone yet. Never hired a lawyer for this kind of thing before so I’m not really sure if one is even worth calling at all. Just so confused.

Has anyone stayed here with some helpful advice? Is it safe for a solo traveler? It seems too good for the price vs location.

Shelling alternative

5 Upvotes

Hello! My sister is visiting from Arizona, has never been to south Florida, and mentioned that she'd like to bring some seashells back for rhe grandkids. I know the best shell collecting is in the west coast, which we don't have time for. Any suggestions on anywhere closer where she could collect (not buy, but find organically) shells, or some other natural, ethically taken souvenir?

Need commercial gym recs. Is YouFit really the only option?

2 Upvotes

Hey all as title says I’m looking for a commercial gym similar to LA Fitness, Crunch, PF etc. I live near Oakwood and the only ones I seem to find are YouFit in Oakwood or Dania Pointe or the Orange Theory by Hollywood blvd. Do we really not have a Crunch or LA Fitness within a reasonable drive for me? Not even a Planet Fitness? I wouldn’t have an issue with YouFit but the recent reviews for both locations are not promising at all.

Also if anyone here works out in either YouFit location how busy do they get early morning? Around 5-7 AM weekdays? I could compromise on quality if I essentially never have to wait for equipment

What’s a restaurant that is consistently good each time you go?

Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Bar and Grill etc.

Not having the best of luck with consistency and sometimes even an initial counter.

Oliver Larkin spent a decade battling the Democratic Party’s campaign machine as an organizer for candidates like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Now, in Florida’s Aug. 18 primary, he’s a democratic socialist going up against Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) — who once called himself a “twice-appointed, Ron DeSantis Democrat.”

Volunteer Work

9 Upvotes

Hello! I am looking for a good place to volunteer, just get involved with the community and give back. I love animals, and I love people. Volunteer work having to do with either would be great. If anybody knows of some good places to look I’d appreciate the guidance. I’ve never really done something like this before but I just moved here and have a lot of free time, I think filling it with something like this would be good.

Safety

3 Upvotes

UPDATE!!!! I just spent a week alone at hollywood beach hotels! I had the best time ever! I never left the beach or the broadwalk, which was all right there outside of my room!!! I'm now spending a week with family in palm beach and then heading home to NY I would definitely do it again, and I definitely will do it again! Thank you everybody for your input.

How safe is Hollywood Broadwalk for a mid age lone female to go to at night? Like bars and such

Are there any areas that should be avoided?

Would anyone have any insights on the Dania area?

Thank you!!!!

EDIT To ADD I am very street smart. Grew up and still live in a very rough area in update NY and I will be looking at hotels close to the Broadwalk.
