r/SouthFlorida

This place is in a random cornfield in Wellington (it's very easy to miss if you aren't looking for it) and it doesn't get much press, but I think it's an essential visit for anyone in SoFlo.

It costs $25 to a 1-2 hour tour. You get to pet capybaras and goats. Feed lemurs and sloths. They also have cows, goats, turtles and dozens of other exotic animals. The tour guide there is very knowledgeable, and you learn a lot about the animals.

been living in south florida my whole life. broward mostly. we have some solid restaurants here but nothing with a michelin star.

my girlfriend keeps bringing up that she wants to try one for her birthday. she says its a bucket list thing. i get it but im also kinda tired of the drive to miami. traffic is always a mess and parking is a headache.

she sent me a few options.

so now im torn. part of me wants to stay local and avoid the stress. another part thinks its her birthday and i should just deal with the drive.

anyone here done the miami trip for a special dinner. was it worth it or do you regret it.

literally just got hit with a $45k assessment on my 1/1 in hollywood. it’s completely unhinged. the insurance crisis was bad enough but now my HOA is acting like we all have offshore bank accounts just to fund this mandatory concrete restoration stuff

Honestly couldn't even afford the new monthly fees on my own salary so I had to move back in with my folks in broward (im 32, deeply humbling). Tried to sell but the market for older condos is completely dead rn because no buyer wants to take on the assessment bomb

Ended up just throwing the keys to jmk property management to handle renting it out for me so I can hopefully just break even on the mortgage and these insane new fees. Really hoping to just weather the storm for a few years while living out of my childhood bedroom

feels like a sick joke tbh. getting priced out of a place you ALREADY own because the state and these corrupt HOA boards kicked the maintenance can down the road for 30 years. south florida real estate is just exhausting right now.

Gigi Felix is 18 years old and lives in Fort Lauderdale. 

Snippet:

• The race to save a South Florida woman is on.
• OneBlood is calling on those of African descent to donate blood as soon as they can to save the life of 18-year-old Gigi Felix, who has sickle cell disease and is in need of a rare blood type combination.
• Sickle cell disease is a chronic illness that affects red blood cells and causes severe pain, and in some extreme cases, death. Sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to be crescent-shaped rather than being round. Because of the misshaping, the red blood cells tend to block blood flow and cause pain, anemia, and a higher risk of serious infections.
• OneBlood says Felix is in need of a bone marrow procedure to survive.
• “To me it just seems like my last golden ticket,” Felix said, in a statement released by OneBlood.
• The procedure requires O-Negative blood type, which is very rare, as only 7% of the population has that type. But Felix also needs a blood antigen profile found in those of African descent. Antigens are proteins and sugars that attach themselves to red blood cells, and act as a nametag that can trigger the immune system to release antibodies to attack foreign invaders.

8yr & 5m I had via with a sperm donation.
I’m retired.
I was in a horrific accident. I lost my left hand on impact below the elbow and my right leg below the knee and my right hand pinky.

I am also burned on the entirety of my right arm, hand, shoulder, right backside down my right backside forearm, and I have skin graphs on there and also burns all over my body except my face.

I’m not lonely, but I’m not not lonely. If you understand what I’m saying. And maybe I’ll meet the love of my life on Reddit lol 🫪🫪

I tried dating
I can still do a lot of things how I’m keeping a whole newborn alive plus taking care of my son, but I guess the guys that I’ve been with are very superficial,
I’m more than my body
I am very beautiful if I do say so myself and I need someone to s e e me.

PA’S- I really want more kids. Message me.✨🧿

Hi everyone! I'm relocating my clinic from Miami to Coral Spring and could use some recommendations. We'll be moving office furniture, computers, and medical equipment (nothing to large) plus all the usual clinic supplies. I'm also looking for a liable IT provider that's familiar with healthcare and HIPAA. If you've had a good experience with either a commercial moving company or an IT company that works with medical practices, I'd really appreciate any recommendations

Has anyone lived in these recently or currently? Currently looking at condos to rent in this neighborhood and they seem to be the only reasonably priced so far compared to other condos I seen for the same price but the reviews were just god awful. My fiance & I had friends years ago (were talking over a decade ago) who lived in the community and back then it was awful — we know new management has taken over in the last couple years so we’re curious before we go from one crappy apartment to another.

Got some friends that don’t work tomorrow so we’re thinking of finally going somewhere instead of watching it at someone’s house. Where are the matches being played on a big ass screen but also have good drinks and food?

I’ve got 3 Grimace cups, I will trade for anyone but Ronaldihno since I have him. But I’ll trade 2 of my extra grimace cups for whatever anyone is willing to trade.

My son, 18, is looking to move to Florida from Maryland after the new year. He has secured a job in the 55k range. He's done limited research, but has decided that southern FL, is where he wants to be (gulf or ocean). He's aware that he will be living paycheck to paycheck, and doesn't have delusions of living an influencer lifestyle. He's looking for something a little more laid back. In your opinion, what are some of the best areas to move (or absolutely worst areas) I should mention his company has locations in Tampa/ft Lauderdale/miami/Tampa. It's not an office job, but he needs to be somewhat in those general areas. Thanks!

Was casually browsing listings I can't afford (classic sunday activity) and ended up on some local market blog by larry mastropieri. Nothing groundbreaking but he had a blurb about a 418-unit tower getting approved in riviera beach after some fbi subpoena drama with the city. a whole fbi thing and the zoning still passed 3-2. crazy

But the thing that actually stuck with me was a piece about condo boards silently killing deals. not saying no outright, just dragging document requests until the buyer gives up. And suddenly a bunch of "too good to be true" listings Ive been side-eyeing make a lot more sense

florida real estate is just a different animal man. You're not just buying a unit, you're buying into whatever personality disorder runs the HOA

I’m a 22M and can’t find a place or apartment to live in after my lease is up at the end of July i have bad credit and keep getting denied everywhere I only make like 2000$ a month at a crappy fast food job and all my family lives across the country whom I had to get away from (my mom is bipolar control freak and will do anything she can to destroy my life because she is wildly homophobic and I’m not capable of living how she wants me to). Is there anything for anyone in a situation like mine that helps? I’m down to a point where I have to DoorDash 2 hours for like 15$ to eat a simple meal because I’m living so paycheck to paycheck. I wouldn’t even know where to start or how certain people in situations like mine find affordable rent.

Friend wants to live in SOFLO in a community that is golf cart obsessed. Like the villages but for families instead of 55+
