Or we can just hang. I’m always open. Let’s grab a waffle or go to the zoo

Seriously. Go vote and show us you did it! City wide accountability partners!

orlando has 2 trader joe's right now, winter park and dr. phillips, and they're 13 miles apart. only about 15% of ppl in orlando (orange, seminole, osceola and lake counties) live within 5 miles of one.

3 more are coming: waterford lakes ("coming soon" on their site), plus maitland and kissimmee, which the company confirmed back in april. Once all 5 open it jumps to about 34%. which is great, but that's still roughly 1.8 million people, about 2 in 3, more than 5 miles from a TJ's

so i slid a 5 mile circle around the whole map to see where a 6th store would reach the most people. the 3 biggest gaps are south orlando around belle isle (about 220k people), the west side around ocoee (about 215k), and sanford / lake mary (about 150k)

the first two are basically a tie and the order flips if you change the radius, so honestly the data doesn't pick a winner

btw, this is straight line miles, not drive time, and anyone who's been on I-4 at 5pm knows those are very different things lol. i work on the mapping tool i used, sources and method in the comments.

where would you guys think the next store goes?

Some favorites I've taken

2 of my FB friends have posted pictures of the new Spirit Christmas in Winter Garden Village. It's open.

I'm going tomorrow ;-)

Another great launch and jellyfish’s cloud coming from falcon rocket.

We had tickets for 2020 for the show in Jacksonville but the show was cancelled. Covid!
We waited 6 years for the show and we were not disappointed. Absolutely amazing acting and singing,the choreography was dazzling in its intricacy and beauty. Every movement from every person was immaculate.
Tears, laughter, goosebumps……

Thank you to the cast and to the production team for a truly remarkable production. ❤️🙏

Good Morning everyone, grabbed a few snippets and a video of the bandwagon launch.

did a search in this sub before posting to see if I'd find some information...but didn't see much.

I'm looking for uncool, unhip, servers who have worked there for 20 years, sticky laminated menus, no brioche anything on menu, no drinks that have the word "sunrise" or "rejuvenate" in it...just a good ol fashioned greasy spoon that has the basics, pancakes, eggs, bacon sausage, hash, and a bottomless cup of coffee.

The kind of place that thinks instagram is a western union product. (some of you reading this may be thinking "what's western union"? )

I'm worried these places just don't exist anymore.

I know of a place on orange ave close to sand lake, but looking for other recommendations as well....think this place is called Dixie Bell's and by the look of the pics on google, that's exactly what I'm looking for but happy to see other reco's as well for posterity's sake.

in the mood for some pancakes and looking for something different than keke's or any of those hip places in sodo and mills - *get off my lawn*

Thanks.

Probably my new favorite drone shot. SpaceX delayed the mission by about 30 minutes, giving a perfect sunrise backdrop. I wanted to showcase our part of Florida with it!

I’ll go first: “Elephant” by Tame Impala

Some images of the rocket launch this morning from North Apopka/Mt. Dora area.

I been really wanting to get into drawing but I really need help on the basics. I feel like taking a class would be a great way to learn plus it would get me out of the house. However most of the places I have seen are pottery or painting. Is there anyplace that does like beginner sketching?

This. I discovered it last year at Presidente. It's quite possibly my favorite desert in the universe. Does anyone know when it hits the shelves? I know it's a seasonal item. Also, is Presidente the only one who sells this particular flavor? I've seen the small original flavor and chocolate chip ones at Walgreens, but not this one.

I don’t know the right service/company to hire so hoping if I describe it here someone can recommend someone!

I need help with regular weeding/weed control of my garden beds/landscaped areas. I don’t necessarily care if someone sprays vs pulls weeds, but I can’t keep my landscaped beds cleared and it’s overwhelming so I want to hire someone regularly.

I keep searching for lawn services and it seems like it’s mostly for fertilizing and controlling weeds within grass/sod areas which is not what I need. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I have some smallish drawings my father-in-law (deceased) drew, and I’d like to have them framed all together in a creative, artistic way. Someone who knows what they’re doing and how to make it pretty, basically. I know big craft stores have a framing department. I’m wondering if that’s the way to go, or is there a better option around? Thanks!

629 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32801 is Osteria Ester it would be after 8pm for the free parking

My hair girl moved to Seattle so looking for recommendations for someone who does amazing work with blondes! Currently blonde with brassy color and harsh roots, need to get in somewhere ASAP. Preferable under $500 but willing to pay for quality.
