Interesting Stuff Tourism is completely gone in South Florida

Upvotes

I used to live in South Florida near the Naples and fort Myers Florida area. I came back to visit this week and it's shocking going downtown on a Saturday or a Sunday and there's just no one, anywhere.... In the middle of summer. There would be Europeans all over the place previously, just everywhere you look, at the beaches, at the restaurants, every place would be packed... Now there's hardly anyone, anywhere you look.

AskFlorida Electric bill is 400

172 Upvotes

Did anything change like did they pass some new law or something I’m so confused, I live by myself in an apartment maybe about 700 square footage. I usually leave my a/c on I’ve never seen the bill go over 160, now all of the sudden I owe 400 what the hell happened. I can’t pay that???? Only thing I can think of is I had my tub resurfaced and had to leave the windows open while the ac was running because of the workers in there and to ventilate the smell. Anyone have any ideas or am I not the only one seeing a major spike in their electric bill

Advice Shuttle for wedding in Orlando?

Upvotes

Hello! I’m getting married next summer. Looking for cheap shuttle buses to get guests to and from our venue. I’m not picky with how nice they are. I’ve seen people do school buses, which I know is a cheaper alternative but have been trouble finding a company. Any recommendations?

I had my window slightly cracked and this little guy jumped in the window scaring me. Got to a spot it could be safely let out. I'm not sure if it was his stop or not, and I hope it likes it's new neighborhood.

Not the first critter to accidentally hitch a ride and I am sure it won't be the last.

AskFlorida What Adrenaline Inducing stuff is there / would you recommend doing in Florida?

21 Upvotes

Were a group of 3 young men from Germany, we’ve all been to Florida multiple times - myself celebrated many birthdays in Fort Myers, Last 3 trips were to Naples as my best friend has a condo there.

For this years trip we’d like to do some „cool stuff“- Hog Hunting, Offshore Fishing, Python Hunting, that kinda direction.

We went Fishing 1-2 Hours out in May, had a great time, but would like to go for even bigger stuff. We’ve all never been proper hunting, yet somewhat experienced with Guns (very for a European 😂, but we know there’s levels).

Can anyone recommend any Activities, Hosts, Tours that might interest us? We also like Cars, Skydiving not really. Preferably near Naples. Any replies are appreciated! 🙏

Been to many states, Florida is the best. Stay safe.
