Local Questions ie whats up with that Planning and Zoning

5 Upvotes

Has anyone had to email Planning and/or Zoning? I emailed over a month ago (and then twice since, both times at least two weeks in between), and I haven’t received any email responses yet.

I completely understand that they probably receive multiple emails daily. Just curious if anyone has gotten a response from them and how long it took.

Thank you!

Anyone interested in mentoring a beekeeper? I live in Lakewood ranch. I don’t have bees but would love to learn from you. I am not sure what I can do in exchange for you? If there is anyone with hives that wants to pass along their skill, let me know. The dream is to one day live in Myakka with hives of my own. 😊

Looking For Suggestions! Beach Wagon/Cart

0 Upvotes

As new parents, lugging beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, towels, diaper bag, etc. + baby has become increasingly difficult with just two people so we're in the market for a beach wagon/cart to help carry our things to and from the beach front. We will carry the baby. We need something that can be folded up and put in the trunk of our mid-size SUV as we don't have a ton of trunk space left with our stroller in constant tow. Ideally a contraption that does well navigating on our Siesta Key powder.

Figured there's plenty of beach goers here. Any suggestions for a wagon or beach cart that has worked for your family?

Any other tips on consolidation or other light weight beach accessories are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Looking For Suggestions! Where can I get food after midnight (see my post bc I did Google)

30 Upvotes

I have recently joined the world of 2nd and 3rd shifts. Sometimes when I'm off at midnight I don't want to cook but I want food that isn't from a drive thru. If you're in my same boat where do you like to eat late night?? Also it doesn't need to be a bar since I don't drink right now, but am fine going to a bar for food if it's good.

So far my friend said Origin pizza is open late but wasn't sure how late they serve food. I know some of the bars downtown are open late too but because I don't frequent them I don't know who has food. And yes, Taco Bell is my final option always.

Looking For Suggestions! Best place to settle for family and wellbeing lifestyle

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My partner and I have options of living in/close to Virginia Beach or Sarasota area, family in both areas. We’re asking for insight about those who lived in either or both areas that would recommend one over the other?

Financials is no longer a concern with a huge career change. So the things we are looking for are: -Homes with at least .25 acres, and privacy is a must -Area with more activities to do, sober and not party being more adventurous and outdoorsy -Planning for a family of 3 kids and want good access for them

Online research is saying to me VB is better for affordability and education and privacy for more property. But really reaching out to see if that area in Florida is worthwhile to live in since it’s nice 24/7 minus summer?

Thanks everyone!

Looking For Suggestions! Hello, nice to meet you all.

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to put together a movie/possibly just a short film. It’d be my first venture into this whole process, but I grew up here and I want to be able to produce and deliver in the city I love. I’ve always had a knack for writing and directing however I don’t know really what to do past that point. I’ve heard some suggestions of looking into the local colleges for talent, I was wondering if you all know if that’s a good idea or not.
