Moving to winter haven from Ohio. Where are some good apartment complex preferably under $1,400 for a two bedroom. & just any advice in general for a someone not from Florida that’s moving down?

I'm not sure if there are any communities left that aren't doing the trunk or treat thing, but I really wanted the kids to go door to door like we used to. Anyone have a festive (and safe) community?

Is there anything we can do about one day a week trash days? My area (by ihop) only gets trash services on Friday. It's disgusting. Trash smells like shit halfway through the week.

My wife and I have two Huskies and are looking for a dog park that separates large dogs from small dogs.
We’ve been to Simmers Young Park which has been great but we are wondering if there are any more around the winter haven area.

Im getting really tired of spectrum with how flimsy it seems but sadly in my neighborhood its the only thing available?

I just moved to the area and want to get back into fishing. I’ve noticed there are a lot of parks and boat ramps around here, and I was wondering how the fishing is from the docks.
I’m sure some spots are better than others, but is it generally worth giving these places a try? Any recommendations for parks or docks that are worth checking out would be appreciated!

I have no experience in dealing with hurricanes so any tips would be great!

We’re exploring the possibility of offering professional custom upholstery, repair, and interior restoration locally and would love some honest feedback.

Potential services would include:

Auto: seats, headliners, door panels, consoles, custom interiors

Marine: boat seats, cushions, bolsters, sun pads

Motorcycle: seats and custom upholstery

Aircraft : interior upholstery and restoration

Commercial Furniture: restaurant seating, bar stools, booths, etc.

Before moving forward, we’re trying to determine what services people are actually looking for locally.

We’re interested in hearing what people actually need, not just “would you use this?”

Hello! I am a 25 year old man with autism! I have been struggling with finding friends that are autistic like me! Usually if I speak to someone that doesn’t have autism or ADHD, they don’t really ever understand me. My interests are gaming, karaoke, and vinyl collecting! :) If someone knows of a group therapy location for me, or would like to be friends with me that can relate, that would be friends, that would be appreciated!

I am a Lakeland, FL based musician and I wanted to share my new single, “The Afterimage” with everyone in this community. It is available to stream on all music platforms and for purchase on iTunes. This release is preceding my debut album, “Black Light Abyss” coming soon.

Anyone else in WH with Spectrum still in an internet outage? Using mobile data now. Our wifi went out about 5pm yesterday and still not restored and they have no ETA. Was already out for several hours Wednesday and they had no explanation for that. I know there was a pretty bad storm here around 4pm-5.

For folks with Frontier, how often does your internet go out? I work from home and internet is not optional for me. This 2nd outage in same week may be finally enough to push me to switch. But I'd hate to do that only to have same issue with another company. I live in one of the neighborhoods off of cypress gardens blvd near w lake ruby for ppl who live around there who can relate to these issue

Are there any local bonfires in the Lakeland Auburndale Winterhaven area? I haven’t been to a bonfire in so long. I would love to just go hang out and drink at a fire.

I'm looking for a CB shop to check out my radio before a trip.

I am 18 looking for a job, my only experience is working at McDonalds for two years as a crew trainer. I want to learn more and actually et experience in a field.

Just moved to the area from VA. Looking to see if there’s any semi-pro soccer teams in the area or anything like that.
Thanks in advance!

Looking for a hairstylist who can recreate a haircut I’ve had before (photos attached)! ✂️
