Wondering if anyone still has those minute meal boxes as I've been looking to stockpile foods in case of any emergency (and occasional late night snack lol). If you have any taking up space I'll gladly take them thanks. Manatee/cortez roads area

I sometimes get fresh ground peanut butter from Richard's at Manatee Ave and 26th St W. It's very good. Just wondering if any other nearby stores have a machine for fresh natural peanut butter. Thanks.

New to town. Curious where a good time would be and not packed like sardines.

I’ve noticed that Lakewood Ranch seems to be one of those places people either absolutely love or eventually want to move away from.
For those who currently live there, used to live there, or seriously considered moving there:
Why do some people choose to live in Lakewood Ranch?
What are the biggest advantages?
What kind of lifestyle is it best for?
Who do you think it’s ideal for?
On the other hand, why do some people decide to leave?
What ended up disappointing you?
Was it the traffic, CDD/HOA fees, lack of entertainment, distance from Tampa, healthcare, job opportunities, or something else?
If you moved away, where did you go instead, and why?
I’m hoping to hear honest experiences from both sides. Looking forward to hearing your perspectives!

Manatee County underpaid emergency medical service workers by at least $336,607 over a recent nine-month period after its payroll system failed to properly calculate overtime, according to an audit obtained by Suncoast Searchlight.

The audit found that more than 200 EMS employees were owed back pay between June 28 and March 30. Some workers were shorted a few hundred dollars. Others were owed thousands. One veteran paramedic was underpaid by $9,000.
