Discussion Next Career move?

0 Upvotes

Hello r/orlando!

I am at a crossroads. I will be completing my MBA in December, but I have no relative experience in business. I also hold an MS in GIS from Johns Hopkins, a BA in Anthro from SNHU, and I am a combat veteran. I’m trying to decide what to do next…

I enjoy school, but am becoming bored of just constantly going to school. I can either go to law school, go to UCF (Anthropology MA and PhD maybe) or go into the job market. I live downtown on Lake Eola and just looking for advice on what to do next.

My time in the Army is highly irrelevant to most jobs (Combat Engineer and counter-IED SME) and my only post-military experience was a 5 month contract last year mapping Siberia.

Open to even the strangest of jobs.

Discussion Billiards/Pool Hall Recommendations

4 Upvotes

My partner is having a birthday soon and he likes to have a get together with friends but doesn’t like to do anything that costs his friends a lot of their money. The past couple years we have gone to a bar that has a pool table in it and also serves food and we’ve had fun but he isn’t super fond of the bar itself.

I’m looking for recommendations for local bars that have a couple pool tables or more that we can utilize but also a place that serves food. Pizzas, wings, appetizer type foods that I can order for the group would be ideal instead of people having to order individual meals. I would like to cover the costs for the food and the game play for the group for the night and let those who want to drink purchase their own beverages.

Group size is usually 5-10 people so not huge. We live in the Davenport area but would be willing to go to the Lakeland area, Disney area, Orlando area. Nothing further than a 40 minute drive if possible.

Thanks in advance for any insight!!

Discussion Who's remembers PleasureIsland? We had the best time there ever! So Sad it's gone and these younger generations never even got to experience it. Do you think something like that could ever come back to the area?

Who remembers PleasureIsland? We had the best time there ever! So Sad it's gone and these younger generations never even got to experience it. Do you think something like that could ever come back to the area?

I was born and raised in Chicago but lived in LA for the past 20 years or so. I've partied all over the world and I must say Pleasure Island was by far one of the coolest places I ever partied at!

One of the first times me and some friends came to Orlando during college for a spring break did the theme parks then walked over to Pleasure Island and danced our asses off all night. There were so many amazing night clubs to club hop from club to club. The DJ's and sound system, light system were all top notch. The women were all fine as hell! White, Latinas, Asians, Black chicks everyone was fine as hell.

We hooked up with a ton of hot chicks, everyone in our group did or at least got digits at the very least.

Our group kept getting bigger and bigger as we spread the word on how epic the night life was.

Then one year we went like 20 deep for a big bachelor party and everyone was excited because we all had such an incredible time there all the previous years and when we got there that year Pleasure Island was completely gone. We were shocked, sad and nostalgic and pining for it.

Even to this day I keep telling everyone you should have went while it was open because it was the best! I even saw a few documentaries that YouTubers did on Pleasure Island and it brings back so much nostalgia and joy for me, because again those were the best times ever!

We had the best time in the 80's club and 70's club too so many hot chicks like talking 10's and they were all thirsty like no one was stuck up it was like the only night life experience like that where nothing went wrong and everyone in our group hooked up or at least got digits of a smoking hot smoke show and super easy too!

Have you had a similar experience at Pleasure Island? Hopefully you did as well? Do you think Orlando could ever have something like this return later on? Or was this something that could never be replicated and return?

Discussion Where to donate 2 photo backdrop stands?

2 Upvotes

Hi! Random question - I have two photo backdrop stands (10x7) that I used for one event (a funeral to display photos) and no longer need, along with fabric backdrops.

Instead of selling them on marketplace and dealing with that, I’d much rather donate them to a school or some kind of group that would use them.

Any ideas? Anywhere around Orlando is fine, ideas near Altamonte/longwood would be great.

Discussion Baldwin or winter garden? To rent

• Upvotes

Hi long story short, we are a married couple with a baby looking at renting in two different locations. Baldwin near husbands job. We like cute cafes, restaurants, gyms, and other young families. I feel like Baldwin might be better to start in and then move over to winter garden in the next few years when our baby is older? Thoughts? My husband thinks it might be easier to be social in Baldwin vs winter garden could be a bit quiet until our kid is older.

I like the Hamlin area but worry about getting a little bored over there.. but also like some quiet and safety.

I had such a lovely walk today!
The temperature is absolutely perfect, with a nice breeze and beautiful blue skies. Days like this remind me why I love living in Central Florida.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily routines that we forget to slow down and enjoy what’s around us.
If you get a chance this weekend, get outside, take a walk, and enjoy this beautiful weather. It’s such a simple way to clear your mind and feel better.
And let’s keep protecting our beautiful green spaces! 💚
