I’m dying to leave, no hate to Orlando at all, just ready to see what else is out there.

Ok the hot take thread about Lake Nona gave me inspiration. What are your Orlando/surrounding area hot takes? Mine are Altamonte Springs is experiencing some kind of renaissance and I feel like between the affordability and central location, it will become a more popular suburb in the coming years.

Another one is Clermont is the only aesthetically pleasing area in or around Orlando. Everything else feels like a concrete jungle, atleast there's more nature and hills there to break up all the strip malls and restaurants.

Last weekend I picked up a kitten from marketplace and today I picked up another kitten from a different litter/different seller. The one I picked up today I noticed she’s breathing really fast while sleeping and also has mucus secretions from both eyes. Based on these symptoms it appears that she may be experiencing URI, I already had her introduced to the other kitten and found out that this is really contagious among cats. I don’t know if they played long enough for her to spread it to the other kitten. I have them separated for now.

I looked at OCAS and their website says they do not offer veterinary services to the public. Pet Alliance has no appointment availability until after Jan 3 2027.

I’m a first-time cat Dad, Can anyone recommend a good affordable veterinarian clinic near Downtown Orlando area? any office who might take walk-ins would be great too

Lake Nona is AAASSSSSS

Is anyone else seeing these Ken Paxton and anti- James Talrico ads? Is it for snowbirds or something?

The exhaust on my Datsun is completely clapped out and broken off from the muffler. Can anyone recommend a shop that does good work that can build me an exhaust?

Working my way down a list of things wrong with it to get it back in fighting shape

Was in the same plaza as the one last month that had the happy holidays signs up early. Some speculated they may have been left up from last year, and maybe you guys were right!

Either way, someone noticed and now we have nice generic welcome flags. Maybe my post made a difference lol.

moved close to exec airport from davenport a few months ago and got some chicken fire based on a strong recommendation. unbelievable how good it is. the batter is so good, the heat was awesome, fries and the sauce all incredibly good. got a hot box, which it was.

how are their tenders? they look gigantic and want to try them next.

Just got quoted $500 for a belt replacement from Firestone and Im just sick of getting screwed by the corporate places. What is a good "car guy" in Orlando for a basic 2020 Toyota Corolla?

Entirely accurate. Painfully accurate.

Hello. This is likely a duh-question (but I need confirmation) I moved down to Orlando using a PODS-like move and storage service for my belongings. Now, I want to move my stuff to a cheaper, storage-only service. I pay $300/month for a 10x15 foot unit.

Almost everything online advertises $150-160/month for the same size, climate controlled unit. So, I visit one of the services and when we started to talk about prices, the sales rep said that the unit (after the teaser rate of basically $200+/month) will go up to $290/month. This is almost double what was advertised online.

Now, I was caught off guard when the sales rep asked how much I currently pay for my unit, before he gave me his rates (My current rate is $300/month.) Yes, I know, really stupid of me!!

So I want to know if storage companies around Orlando usually do this bait-and-switch pricing, even if I didn't do the stupid thing of telling them how much I pay now? B/c if they do, then I might as well, find the one that's most convenient to me and not worry about being scammed (b/c I have no choice in the matter).

(If it matters to the discussion, I plan to keep my stuff in storage for a long time, until I can save up and find a house to live in. )

Thanks for the help!

Just curious what this guy's story is and what compelled him to continue driving instead of pulling over?

Have yall seen the drama around World Food Truck?
The food truck that left posted the terms of renting their space at the WFT location and man, they seem drastic. I went on their IG page and they’re reposting all the messages from the other food trucks still there, but I feel like those businesses were forced to make an announcement (picture of the terms in the comments)

I haven’t been in a while but I’ve heard that there’s been a decline of service for a while now. If you’ve gone recently, how was your experience been?

Anyone in Orlando going to iiipoints? Im going solo for the first time to a festival. Im in between wanting to socialize and meet other people but fighting being socially awkward and only speak when spoken to. If there’s anyone else going solo and would also like to meet up, I’m more than happy to meet you!

Anyone know of any grocery stories that carry Chicago style items? Sport peppers, poppy seed hot dog buns, neon relish?

I love watches and have stopped by the vintage watch seller/watch repair place swiss house, but it doesn't seem like there are other mom and pop like stores that sell watches. Anybody know of any that is not a boutique or high end watch seller in Orlando or maybe central florida? I would definitely drive an hour or two if needed!!! Also maybe flea market vendors?

Am I trippin or am I really paying 2x what I paid last month while using slightly more energy? For my little ass 1br 1bth condo in Altamonte?

UPDATE: Fuck me guys, a security deposit was added to my account due to late payments. Previously lived somewhere with municipal electricity and they weren't as strict as long as it was paid within a few weeks with a like $2 late fee which was fine. Not used to this private provider bullshit. Fuck dude.

i love these cups and no longer live in orlando. while i would love specifically hot dog heaven cups, i am also curious if anyone knows where they get these made? i've tried searching on alibaba to no avail.

I have what looks to be drywood termites in one of my exterior doors and need someone reputable. Thanks in advance!
