Hello! My family and I had enjoyed old Naples as our family beach vacation for the past 7 years! It’s our dream (great beach, yummy food, lovely people, etc) and returned home today.
The downside… i have a rash! what gives?! I have a spot on my left shin that is VERY itchy and about the size of half dollar. Its not a mosquito bite. My face feels like sandpaper, is warm, and is red and warm under my right eye/upper cheek.
Ive read about beach rash. could this be it?! it did have to break out a new sunscreen yesterday. What gives?! help a girl figure this out? (I did message my doctor with photos.)
Looking for recommendations on paddles that include good swimming spots. Have a Tsunami 145 kayak.
I overheard a very unusual conversation today while checking out at a 711. I was putting my money in my wallet when an apparent regular entered the store and began chatting with one of the employees. The employee asked the regular where her sister had been, as she had not seen her for a while. The regular replied “she’s been so busy with the baby, and she just started working at the national lab at Maria, but I probably shouldn’t be talking about that”. That’s not verbatim, but essentially, that’s what she said. I know there’s the Arthrex facility there and whatnot, but I’ve never heard of a national lab being in the area. A google search also confirms there’s no national lab around here. Is “Maria” in reference to a different location?
I would just assume she was taking about
Arthrex, but the fact that she added the caveat of “I probably shouldn’t be talking about that” doesn’t seem to fit with the ongoings of Arthrex, and is more in line with the national security implications of revealing your relative works for a seemingly clandestine government lab where state of the art technologies may be getting developed.
I’m not sure what to make of it, and am wondering if any of you folks have heard anything about this. Logic tells me that having a National lab within a fairly populated area like Ave Maria isn’t wise, but maybe that’s part of the cover? Idk. Weird!
Anyone know how who’s hiring in the chemical engineering / wastewater world? Looking Bonita Springs, Naples, Estero.
Who’s financing her and why does she keep spamming my phone after I’ve replied “stop” to her texts.
Just saw my first 3 actual flock cameras today in Naples, Florida after living here for 21 years. Black beam built into ground with the official flock camera and solar panel at roof of beam.
Two on Immokalee Road at the intersection of Immokalee Road & Everglades Boulevard.
One on Vanderbilt Beach Road when you are heading east after you pass 41 between 41 & Vanderbilt Drive.
Keeping others aware.
My wife and I are going to be in Marco island for a few days the first week of September and I’d like to squeeze in a quick early morning round one day. Any recommendations? I have a tee time at Hammock Bay which looks pretty nice but honestly I don’t see a ton of info about it online. The Rookery also looks nice but seems to be closed on the days I’m going to be there. The other course I was considering was TPC Treviso bay but I’ve heard mixed reviews. I’m an 11 HCP so I’m up for a little bit of a challenge but it’s also going to be an early morning round when I’m inevitably sleep deprived, so don’t want to get my teeth kicked in too bad lol.
Any recommendations for silver buyers in the Naples area who are paying top dollar? I’ve got some 1 oz liberties and 10 oz bars. Just seeing if anyone knows someone before I start calling around.
TIA!
Last year stayed in Airbnb in Florida for 6 weeks in winter. Different city. Favorite thing was to walk along the water into town (about 1 - 1 1/2 miles), grab a coffee or a drink, visit shops, sometimes dinner. If staying in Naples area for a few weeks - any neighborhoods that might provide that? Thx!
Has anyone stayed at the Olde Naples Hotel on Third?
Excuse the rant.
Fuck this traffic...
Whoever approved this and thought it was a smart idea needs to be fired.
I live off Pristine Drive right now and getting out of there was already annoying during the school year (turning right). Add in the school and I had to find a new route to work. Getting home is equally as bad. I spent more time Logan -> Pristine then I did from the Park Shore area -> Logan.
Jesus Christ the planners in this town are morons. It is only going to get worse when the snowbirds get here.
Well it appears they want folks to know who's doing the work. Putting up the banner there to block the view. Might have been better for it to be on the sand to the right or closer to the camera so it doesn't block the view so much. However a good wind will probably strip it down, that is a pretty large sail.
To the folks who are watching, Thank You.
Experienced seasonal servers returning to Naples — job & housing advice?
Hello!
My fiancé and I will be coming down to Naples for the winter season. This is not our first season working in the Naples area, and we’re both experienced servers in our mid-30s. We’ll be coming down with savings, and we each have our own vehicle.
At my current job, I take home around $10k/month after taxes, so I’m hoping to find a serving job in Naples where I can realistically take home around $8–9k/month during season.
A few seasons ago, I worked at a fine-dining restaurant in Marco Island and only made around $5k/month working five days a week. Financially, that season was a struggle for me, and I’d really like to avoid repeating that experience this time around.
For those of you who work or have worked in the Naples service industry:
What types of restaurants should I target if I’m hoping to make $8–9k/month during peak season?
Is that realistic with one good serving job, or should I expect to work two jobs or 6 days a week?
Are there certain types of restaurants, clubs, hotels, or areas you’d recommend targeting?
Any places/types of places you’d avoid?
How early should we be applying? Would arriving around December put us at a disadvantage compared with being there by late October/November?
We’re also looking for a 6–7 month apartment lease rather than a full-year lease. Is that reasonably easy to find in the Naples area? What should we expect to pay per month for that lease length? We don’t need to be near the beach, so we’re open to different areas or even a reasonable commute. Any apartment/community recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I know I’ll likely be taking somewhat of a pay cut by making this seasonal move, but my fiancé has family in the area and spending the season near them is important to him. I’d like to make the transition much smoother financially on our second try.
Any advice, restaurant leads, housing recommendations, or things you wish you’d known before working a Naples season would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!
