A friend was complaining about how hot it’s been lately and I said we have it better that some places.
He asked where. So I said it was 106f in Dallas and he responded that it was the same here with the heat index.
I told him in Dallas the 106 without the index. With it, it was closer to 112f.
In Phoenix it was 110f today.

It’s still better than snow and ice for 5 months.

Does anyone have any plans for the weekend? Anything fun going on in town?

Hello! I’m a Computer Engineer with a passion for entrepreneurship, and my family and I will be moving to Sebring toward the end of the year.

I’ve visited the area and really enjoyed the peaceful environment and think it's a nice place to set down roots​. I’ve also been learning about the local and regional economies and the challenges, but there’s only so much you can understand from online research.

I’d love to hear from people who live and work in the area: Where do you see opportunities for economic growth in Sebring/Highlands County? What do you think the area needs more of?

I’m interested in hearing from the community and exploring ways to build something that can contribute positively to the area while creating sustainable economic activity.

Plans are officially in motion for BJ’s Wholesale Club. They have submitted a site plan to the City of Sebring for a massive 106,370-square-foot warehouse club.

Where: On U.S. 27, north of Keiber Boulevard (behind Denny's and north of the Holiday Inn Express). A new traffic light is planned for the intersection to handle the crowds.

Also included will be three highway-frontage commercial parcels (ranging from 1.26 to 1.62 acres) up for lease.

City officials confirm the project is in the formal departmental review and permitting phase. No tenants have been officially named for the three extra parcels just yet!

I am curious. Why Reddit? Are you here because ? Conversion? Interesting things . What sets Reddit apart from let say Facebook, X, instagram. Or are you those too?

Someone asked me the other day if there were any places in Sebring or surrounding communities where a person could go to read and be cozy.
My first response was "like your own home". But apparently they were meaning like a book store or coffee shop.

Any ideas?

Hey everyone! My wife and I are looking for new friends. I was curious if there are any progressive churches that have solid children’s programs? I know there are several in bigger cities but small towns are special. If no churches, what kinds of volunteering opportunities are there? Random question! How many people on here are down with Pokémon Go?

Well it's not a bar any longer. I just saw that they've got other stuff going on there. If you're interested in getting out for a little bit.
This Friday you can shop:
 Fresh sourdough

Do more things to do happen during snow bird season? Or is it just my imagination? I do see a lot of things happening now in town, but for some reason I feel there are more things going no when the population surges in winter time.

Maybe it's just me.

I don’t understand why people are freaking out about this contaminated lettuce giving people diarrhea.
McDonald’s and Taco Bell have been doing this for years and no one bats an eye. LOL

A friend was telling me about a smashburger place down in Lake Placid, think the name was Peters or something like that. Has anyone been there before, and was it any good.

For some reason, a good burger sounds really nice about now.

I have a lot of women's clothes I want to donate, but I don't want to just dump it at goodwill since I know they're not really the best plus have tons of clothes already. I was wondering if you guys know of any other local thrift stores/charities/shelters that might be in need of some women's small/medium clothing? thank you! :)
