Title. Started at TSC. I'd like to know if theres any good (and safe, obviously) Smoke Shops. Not going to 18+ due to its terrible reputation. What are some good options?

Apparently, it's temporarily closed. When did that happen?

edit: The app says they are open now.

i obviously love supporting local coffee shops/etc but i wfh sometimes and always want to leave my house -- so i can't afford buying a coffee at a cafe 5x a week lol. and with how hot it is outside i can't go work and/or read at a park or something :/

the only places i can maybe think of are the barnes and noble cafe or the cafe in midtown reader? i also love the library but would prefer other options. thank you!!

My mother was recently moved into an assisted living facility. They allowed her to bring her medium sized dog with her. She is capable of feeding the dog and taking her out to the courtyard to potty, but cannot walk the dog.

In search of someone to walk the dog in that area (or take her to a nearby park) so she can get her exercise and sniffs in a few times a week. Willing to pay for the services. Probably only needs to be for about 30 minutes a day. Preferably in the morning right now since it’s so hot out. Have not had much luck yet on finding someone on Rover.com

Dog is a Florida Cur/Boxer mix and is about 50 pounds and 8-9 years old. She’s super friendly and is good on a leash but does pull a bit when she sees a squirrel or some other critter that looks fun to chase.

This is in the area of I-10 and N. Monroe.

Thanks!

Hello! I recently moved here from Jupiter FL for school. I’m still getting used to the roads and lower speed limits here but the drivers here are just something else. I don’t want to sound entitled but I know FL and South FL has bad drivers but here I can’t be going the speed limit, almost everyone’s zooming by me. Or am I the ahole for driving the limit especially around FSU. Feel free to drop any survival tips.

Thank you!!

Voted today (Registered Dem), and my friend had a ballot with a completely different ballot. I only had about 5-6 things to vote on, and my friend had about 6-7 things to vote on. I got to vote on Mayor, but nothing on Governor. They got to vote on Governor, but not for Mayor.
Can someone please explain why we a) got different options, and b) why we didn’t even get to vote on everything seen on a sample ballot? I’m trying not to believe we’re being gipped here, but it’s Florida so…
Any help here is appreciated - especially since I can’t find ANYTHING online about this.

Hey Tallahassee,

​I’m 33M, and honestly it’s been tough finding my circle since moving here. Working on projects alone gets isolating. I love hands-on tinkering and would really like to find a interested people to collaborate with on prototyping civic tech just as a hobby.

​Any skill or discipline is welcome. Whether you do hardware, write code, mechanical design, or just enjoy creative problem-solving. If you’re in a similar boat and want to grab a coffee or kick around some ideas, feel free to drop a comment or send a DM!

Lol. So if you’re looking for a job, I highly do not recommend the Target Starbucks on Apalachee. The management is actually horrible, or at least a specific person I had an interaction with.
Get hired for Starbucks on apalachee, and they send me to a completely different store because apparently they’ve fired all the people at the apalachee location and are spreading the remaining ones so thin, they don’t even have the time/hours to train cause they’re already full.
So 2 weeks of training damn near, at a different location, only to arrive back to the home location to realize that apparently how we’ve been taught isn’t standard and it’s a different store, so obviously everything is in a different spot, so lots of unlearning/relearning going on, on top of it being a lot to learn because the drinks can come so many different sizes and ways with lots of different variations of sauces, syrups, add-ins, and toppings, etc.
So I did indeed feel thrown to the wolves. I even tried to express as much to the store manager as she and another lead came to get drinks once we opened. (Literally only done like 2 opening shifts during training with help, so I wasn’t sure of every little thing just yet) so anyway, just expressing myself like “Just bear with me. I’m new and this is only my 2nd day. I’m by myself and haven’t made these drinks before so it may take a little longer as I look at the ingredients and whatnot.” INSTEAD of showing empathy and being a LEADER and saying “oh, what part of your training do you feel like you need work on or how can we help you get more comfortable?”, she instead says, “didn’t you miss like 2 days of training? That’s 16 hours so that’s really important. I’m sure that’s got a lot to do with feeling unprepared”. It wasn’t what she said, it was how she said it. Like “oh, there can’t possibly be anything wrong with the way we’re training people and there can’t possibly be a correlation as to why we only have like 2 people working here.”
Like girl, literally kiss my ass cause my son’s broken foot was actually more important than those hours and if you guys actually answered the HR line instead of having to leave messages and notes with the customer service desk to get in contact with you guys most of the time, maybe you’d know that’s why I was out. (Legitimately had to call about 5-6 times a day to return calls and convey information.)
So anyway, I walked out because who do you think you’re talking to first of all, and you’ve literally had multiple people quit because they get to that location and get overwhelmed cause yall actually don’t give af about training anyone, you just want someone at that register, no matter the cost. Literally had a lady quit a day or so before I came to that store for the same sentiments. And I hope people continue to quit on their asses.
So yeah, anyway, rant over. Horrible experience. 10/10 don’t recommend, but the baristas are cool and nice lol.

My son is having some difficulties understanding Algebra 1 this year, and me and mom cant really explain it to him.

Can anyone recommend a place or a oerson? Feel free to DM

Just looking for a place where I can learn yoga for a beginner. Also, I'm a bigger gal and want a place that is welcoming and non judgemental. Thanks in advance for suggestions 🙂

Please see the voter information thread from a few days ago for resources if you aren't sure who to vote for: https://reddit.com/r/Tallahassee/comments/1vkixcm/august_18_2026_primary_election_voting/

Voter turnout is currently right at 30%. Make sure to go vote! You have a little over 4 hours to be in line.

Hey everyone! I’m going to tally soon for school and wanted to know if anyone knows any good spots for trinkets like Sonny angels, smiskis, hironos, and pokemon cards! I’m a big collector and wanna keep collecting when I go up! Any Recs are appreciated!

I'm trying to figure out how to get into/what the queer scene looks like for tallahassee. I'm not super into bars/drinking so i'm not sure what all exists beyond that. 27 year old lesbian trying to put herself back out there but I have no idea where to look.

Suggestions super appreciated!

This may be a dumb question, but me and my bf are first time renters and now that summer has hit, it feels like our AC barely does anything. The hottest it gets is 86 in the apartment. Idk if our AC just sucks and needs to be fixed or if thats just florida life. We have a window AC that helps some but it can only do so much. Is there a process of getting a new AC that i can ask my landlord? Should i just cope? Lol
