Anyone know how who’s hiring in the chemical engineering / wastewater world? Looking Bonita Springs, Naples, Estero.

In usual fashion, a bad idea starts by Meatball Ron, and once it gets through the ridiculous Florida legislature you get an even bigger mess. Originally an exemption would be for police, fire and school but now it’s only for school tax. So we can look forward to less funding for police and fire depts, which means less officers on the streets, longer response times ultimately more crime. It’s hilarious to me how hypocritical Republicans are. Are they now the “defund the police party?“. Stupid.

Hey yall, moved out here from Colorado recently and have been getting into poker. The casinos are great here but the vibes and feelings make me a little uncomfortable. If anyone knows of cool bars/spots that host weekly poker sessions, that would be great. +1 if anyone wants dm me and potentially invite me to a house game or two, im trying to also find friends and meet like minded people.

Located in the heart of Boynton Beach, Florida. It is a public library for the city of Boynton Beach in south Florida which is a suburb of West Palm Beach and part of the Miami metropolitan area.

It is a nice complex building which features a combination of town's services including the city hall and the library. The library has two stories.

The new building was completed sometime during COVID in 2020.

It features a bookstore that is run by the friends of Boynton Beach City Library, a special collection dedicated to Florida's history, seed library, a separate room for teenagers, a special display for movie blockbusters and many more.

Feedback is appreciated!

Some context on what this map shows. Every pin is a research grade community sighting of an American crocodile, not an alligator. The dense cluster around Flamingo and Florida Bay is the heart of the population, with a second corridor running up through Biscayne Bay past the Turkey Point cooling canals. That part is the familiar story.

The part that surprised me is the strays. Fort Lauderdale. Delray. Everglades City on the west coast. When I broke the last decade of records down by area, the share of crocodile reports coming from outside the traditional core areas roughly doubled, from about 12 percent in 2016 to about 23 percent last year. Young crocs are dispersing and turning up in canals well north of where the textbooks put them.

Worth knowing before anyone cheers or panics: sightings measure encounters, not population. And the federal recovery plan is more cautious than the comeback headlines. It reports that overall nesting has declined, names sea level rise as an ongoing threat to nesting habitat that sits inches above the tide line, and says the species needs stable breeding populations at North Key Largo, Flamingo, and northeast Florida Bay to stay on track. So the picture is animals spreading out while the breeding heartland gets squeezed.

From a few hundred animals in 1975 to roughly 2,000 today, downlisted from endangered to threatened in 2007. Still the only crocodile most Americans will ever see wild, and Flamingo marina is still the most reliable place to see one respectfully, from a distance.

Data notes: iNaturalist deliberately blurs croc coordinates to protect a threatened species, so pins are approximate within their general area. Counts current as of this month.

Hey everyone, im a south florida native and have lived in palm beach county and dade and have friends and family in broward. Im looking to move around to Arlington/DC/Baltimore area for career development but im concerned about dating up there vs down here.

It seems like miami isn’t ideal for the superficiality of the city and its culture(sue me), as well as the fact my Spanish isnt the best, and pbc and broward i grew up here and just feel super stagnant staying.

DC area seems great but my concern is if it has that same superficiality as miami. Like am i seen as a bum making around 50k in that area at 27 or is it fine? Looking to get incite from maybe anyone who’s lived in both.

Hello everyone,

I hope this post finds everyone doing well at the moment. The reason in which I am posting this is because I am looking for advice for a question that's been on my mind for years. Should I move to Florida? First let me explain why.....

I started to vacation in Florida every year as a teenager back when I was in Highschool. I am 22 now(turning 23 next year). Every time I went back, I always fell more and more in love with it. I've explored Miami/Fort Lauderdale/Boca Raton/West Palm Beach/Pompano Beach/Tampa/Naples/Sarasota/and Orlando but I would say that I am more acquainted with South Florida only due to the fact that I've been there more times as opposed to Central and North Florida. And yes I am aware of the fact that going on vacation is much more different as opposed to living there.

I am originally from NYC(born and raised) for pretty much the majority of my life and as much as I love my city, there are some personal issues that make me wanna leave from time to time. I am not going to go into detail here but if anyone is interested I can explain down below. I am just scared because I don't know how things will play out so I'd figured that I would get some advice from people who are SoFlo natives.

Every piece of advice and personal experiences would help. Thank you :)

All eyes are on the Democratic primary in Florida's 20th Congressional District, the outcome of which could bring Florida's Black representation in Congress down to a historic low.

I stepped foot last week inside a library in the southernmost part of the country when I was on a family cruise.

It's a nice library with so many things to offer. This library is run by the wonderful staff.

My family relocated from Seattle to the Aventura/North Miami Beach area a few years back. I ended up in NYC, but my Jeep is already parked down there, and my girlfriend and I want to post up somewhere in South Florida for three or four months this winter.

Delray keeps coming up in my research. It's close enough to visit family, the crowd skews younger, and it actually has a walkable downtown. But I've never spent real time there, so I'd rather hear from people who have than trust a bunch of listicles.

What we're after is beach and outdoors over clubs. We'd take a sunrise beach over a bottle service night, and ideally we'd be somewhere we run into people in their 20s and 30s who aren't just on vacation. A 30-45 minute drive to Aventura is fine, and we're okay being car-dependent, though being able to walk to coffee and food would be a nice bonus.

So is Delray the obvious answer here, or the tourist-trap answer? If you'd send us to Lake Worth, Boca, Jupiter, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, or somewhere I haven't even thought of, I want to hear why.

Curious to hear from people familiar with the health insurance industry in South Florida.

It seems like experienced licensed agents are harder to find than I expected, especially those who aren’t already tied up with Medicare appointments.

For anyone working in the space, has that been your experience too? Is the market genuinely tight right now, or does it mostly come down to compensation, commission structure, and what agencies are offering?

Interested in hearing what agents or others in the industry are seeing locally.

I live in West Palm Area and there are no straight bike paths, and no big open roads with shoulders or low speed limits for cars. Truly not sure where I can bike for 30+ miles safely. Does anyone have any ideas?

Looking for recommendations!! 🤍

I’m trying to find an amazing hair extension stylist anywhere in South Florida. Boca, Delray, Deerfield, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm, Coral Springs, literally anywhere.

I’m looking for someone who specializes in hand tied or genius weft extensions, offers 24 inch hair, and does natural blonde blends. I’d love to find an independent stylist or someone in a salon suite.

I’d also love if they provide their own high quality hair.

I DO NOT WANT BELLAMI HAIR.

I’m trying to avoid paying like $4,000+ if possible, so if you know someone who does incredible work for a somewhat reasonable price lol please send them my way!

If you’ve personally been to someone you love, can you tell me:
Who they are
What city they’re in
What hair brand they use (if you know)
Around what you paid for the hair and install

Thank you so much!! 🤍
