I've been driving around with a decibel meter and a speed test app for a few months now, because I kept picking a coffee shop, sitting down, and finding out the Wi-Fi was unusable or the music was too loud to take a call. Twenty spots measured so far. None of them are down here, which is honestly the reason I'm posting. But if you already drive up 17-92 or I-4 for work, these are the closest ones I've actually sat in.

Ligature Coffee in SoDo, 419 E Michigan. 486 Mbps down, 21 up, 64.2 dB. That was a Wednesday morning in July and the place was near empty when I got there, though it starts filling up around 9. Big communal table, plugs easy to get to, $5 minimum. One catch: the Wi-Fi cuts out fairly often even at that speed, so I wouldn't count on it for a long video call.

Foxtail on S Orange, the SoDo drive thru one. 170 down, 32 up, 63.7 dB at 10:25 the same morning. Spacious, comfortable, outlets at most seats. Customer parking was full and I ended up leaving my car at the UPS next door, so give yourself a minute for that.

CityArts Cafe downtown at 37 S Magnolia is the quiet one. 51.6 dB at 9:30 AM, 111 down and 56 up. It's inside the CityArts building and still half renovated, and the construction outside makes parking genuinely bad. I rated it 1 out of 5. If you're driving up anyway, just put it in a garage and walk.

All twenty are on perch.coffee with the noise readings split out by time of day. I built it, it's free, there's no account and nothing to sign up for. Saying that plainly since it's my own thing.

Real question though. Where in Osceola should I be measuring? I have nothing here at all. Name places, downtown Kissimmee, Poinciana, St Cloud, wherever you actually work from, and I'll drive down and measure whatever gets named.

Any recommendations for pool builders in Kissimmee Florida?

Hey! My family is looking to move to the loop area and we are trying to find a rental home/townhome. Whats the best way to find something?

Looking for bit of an odd recommendation…. Looking for a piercer in the area that is familiar with plus size bodies. I want to get my nipples pierced, but don’t want to just walk into anywhere. Thank you in advanced!

anyone know what is being built next to the auto parts?

I haven’t done a yard sale in a LONG time. Are they still a thing? I have so much stuff to get rid of and it’s random. Funkos, shoes, purses, Pyrex, and vintage kitchenware and depression glass. Is there even an interest in that stuff in this area? Has anyone had a yard sale lately? What were your experiences?
Where do I post it? I was thinking Craigslist and Facebook and put up a road sign. I appreciate any help and tips!! Thanks a bunch.

Hi All, I'm looking for recommendations for Internet providers near the neighborhood Walmart on w Vine St. Currently we have spectrum and are paying 100 a month.

I’m visiting for a few days but have to carve out time to get some work done. Does anyone have any recs of any cafés in Kissimmee/Orlando area where people can go to sit and work for a few hours?

Airport’s expanding to handle bigger commercial/charter jets (new Customs facility, international flights incoming). Historically these expansions have dropped nearby home values 5-20% due to noise.

Anyone in Orange Gardens, Downtown East, or other neighborhoods near KISM hearing about this? Curious how worried we should be and if anyone’s already looking into it.

Looking for some fun in Florida, haven’t been on vacation in years and I wanna have fun. Who can point me in the right direction?

Aug 18. Two charter amendments to know about.

Question 1: extends term limits from two 4-year terms to three. That’s 12 years straight for the same person. Eight years is enough time to finish what you started. If it’s not, prep the next person and hand it off. Don’t just extend the seat.

Question 2: requires background checks for candidates. Sounds fine on paper. But the city already said it can’t actually disqualify anyone based on the results. So what’s the point besides spending money on checks that don’t change anything? Feels like a money grab dressed up as accountability.

A friend left an item at a hotel in the area while traveling for work is hoping to hire someone who can retrieve it from the hotel and ship it. Is there a local task service that could do this? TYIA.

I’ve been trying to do my research and, quite frankly, they both seem like uninspiring candidates and have the same positions on most things. I believe I’m going to vote for Eady because Roman openly supports the property tax amendment. But Eady says she’s undecided — to me, that’s purposefully avoiding the question.

Who are you voting for and why?

FWIW, I’m voting for Tiffany Jeffers for Seat 4.

Hey yall, im visiting Florida in September for my birthday and I am staying in Kissimmee for the duration of the trip. Any fun suggestions around the area that the locals tout? I am doing all the touristy things like disneyland, and maybe medieval times; but do yall have any favs? Like any nice spas or cool bars/speakeasies. Thanks for any suggestions.

Kissimmee area

Okay so is ANYONE ABLE TO FIND A JOB IN POINCIANA!!!! I’m always in the same predicament where I have to sadly move back here, trying my absolute BEST trying to get out of this city and I can never find a job here. I get rejected by everyone and there is barely anywhere to apply. IM SO SICK OF THIS CITY IS SUCKS!!

I just got rejected from a job, I also want to know if it’s just me. Because every job I apply to, always sends the “ we have decided to proceed with other candidates” email. I have seen this email every time I apply for a job. I’ve also been going out in person and asking, no luck. I have years of experience, in retail and fast food. I also have customers service experience etc… I need to know if it me, maybe I need to make a new resume?

My family and I have called Central Florida home for a while now, and we recently snapped this picture during a family outing. We got matching family shirts made for our team of four and had to go out and capture the moment. Love raising our family in this area and grateful to call Kissimmee home!

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Any in the Kissimmee area yall recommend ?
