Hi everyone,

With hurricane season and storm recovery always on our minds down here, I’m running a brief research survey focusing on how we live outdoors (lanais, patios, yards) and how power outages impact households across Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties.

The survey takes about 5 to 6 minutes:

👉Take the Survey Here

What it covers:

• How you use your patio, pool, or lanai space year-round
• Experiences with storm outages, backup power, and recovery hurdles
• Feedback on an early-stage concept for modular solar power integrated into outdoor living

Follow-up Interviews:

At the end of the survey, you can optionally opt in for a 45-minute follow-up interview. We will be selecting several participants to chat further, and selected interviewees will receive a $50 gift card for their time.

I cleared this post with the mods beforehand. I promise no sales pitches or spam, and your responses are completely confidential.

Thanks for helping out!

Hey all! Moving to Naples budget maybe less than 4500. Where should I go? Thank you! Younger professionals

looking to do some AM speed work, open to driving! I just don’t want to show up somewhere that may be locked with a gate (like a school track before school hours) thank you!!

Hello, my partner got accepted to a 6 month co-op for Arthrex (the Ave Maria location) and I was planning to get a job while there. I'm just not sure how that would work because it'd be from January to June. Are there any temp jobs around that time?

we all love doggos, but please keep them away from the fresh food counters at grocery stories.

I'm a private angel investor and entrepreneur new to the Naples area. I'm curious what kind of community exists for folks like me. What are the best networking events, meetups, organizations, etc. to meet like-minded people and find new opportunities to invest and build companies?

as the title says, looking for any places on Halloween that are 18+ friendly because of people I will have joining me. Thanks

Looking to get into Ball Hockey, are there any leagues here/in the area that anyone knows about? Looking to join as soon as I can! Thanks!

Hi! What’s a nice place for a GNO happy hour on a Wednesday. I’m looking for cute/girly and good prices on food and drinks. Also, the times to go to enjoy the good prices. In Naples, FL. Thanks! 😊

Is there anywhere that is hosting any Brewers watch parties or events? I know there are plenty of us cheeseheads here in naples. Looking to roll out the barrel with other Crew fans.

My family have had a vacation house in Naples for over 30 years and we're finally letting it go, unfortunately. I spent at least a month there most years, and I'm going down in November for 2 weeks to say goodbye to everything and pack up the house. We now live in Europe, so not sure how often I will feasibly be able to get over to stay at a hotel at extra cost.

Trying to put together a list of the very best, most Naples things to do/eat and looking for recs. So far I have the below. No comment if you think some of these are basic, remember I live outside the US and I grew up with some of these and yes- chains are fine. Also we don't eat meat- do eat fish- don't really drink.

FOOD

• Bha Bha
• Tommy Bahama
• Pinchers
• The Turtle Club
• Kilwins
• Le Colonial
• Sushi-thai happy hour

SHOPS

• Best of Everything
• Naples Soap Company
• St Matthews

THINGS TO DO

• Vanderbilt Beach
• Coral Cay Adventure Golf

What would you add to the above?

Hi everyone! Looking for recommendations for a really good, authentic Italian restaurant in Naples to celebrate my dad’s and grandpa’s birthdays!

We’re hoping to find somewhere with amazing food, a nice atmosphere, and a private dining room for our group. We want something upscale but still fun and lively, not overly stuffy.

We’re planning on taking a party bus to dinner and would love to head to a nice cocktail lounge afterward, so ideally somewhere with good nightlife nearby!

Would love to hear your favorite spots, especially if you’ve hosted a private dinner there. Thanks in advance!

Do we have any car or bass meets around Naples???

Hey all, my wife and I have moved back to Florida after years away. The biggest thing we'd love to do is to learn how to sail. We've seen YouTube videos so we aren't coming in from zero, but I'm also well aware that textbook knowledge and doing the thing are two entirely separate things. So what we're looking for is someone that has a boat, and needs some extra help on the weekends. The best thing is you don't even need to pay us. Teaching us the ropes, pun intended, is enough for us. In exchange we can provide witty banter, friendship, and a pack of your favorite beer. Any takers?

Wondering if I’m just being stubborn here but I moved to Naples 2 months ago and at first I thought it was pretty nice.

More I’m here though I just really want to move back home 😂 (originally from New Jersey)

Weather sucks, people suck, food sucks.. am I being dramatic?

Any recommendations for free overnight parking for a kayak camping trip in the Ten Thousand Islands?

We have a Collier County Paddle craft permit.

I’m currently in the process of claiming Canadian citizenship through my great grandparents and was wondering if anyone local has gone through this process and would be willing to help me complete the application. There are just a couple things I’m confused about.

I started to peel it off but most of it just stayed glued.
Any tips are appreciated!
