I'm going on a first date with someone in Lakeland. She lives in Lutz and I live in Orlando, so we agreed to meet halfway in Lakeland. We are both 40.

What would you suggest for a Saturday afternoon date, with the option of turning it into an evening/night date? Ideally, I'd like places that are within a reasonable Uber distance.

I just moved to Lakeland for a new job after almost 5 years away. Besides the Chamber, what groups would be a good fit for a 38-year-old executive to be involved in? I'm looking to make like-minded friends and tap into the business community of Lakeland, too. Thank you.

My husband and I both have jobs that begin at 7am - his in Tampa, mine in Davenport. His job location moves every 6 months or so, which means I’m on the hook for morning drop off. I’m desperately looking for infant childcare in Lakeland that opens at 6am or earlier so that I can get to work on time, or else I’ll have to quit (and I really don’t want to!). I’ve been googling but I haven’t gotten a lot of great information. Does anyone have an early-morning daycare that they can recommend? North side or south side is fine. Thank you!! 🙏🏼

I live in Clewiston, but there isn’t a group for my area and this is the closest one. Could anyone PLEASE help me with food? I don’t need cash… just food. I’m 24yo female on my own completely. My dad died in October, my grandparents died in 2023. My mom left when I was 6 & no siblings. So I’m 100% alone. I’m working every single day and taking every overtime hour I’m offered but the motel I’m living in eats up every damn penny. I hadn’t eaten since Saturday and I’m just so hungry 🥺 please?? I’m so fucking embarrassed to even have to do this ; but I’d rather ask then steal

Just curious how many of my fellow Moffitt staffers are making that drive?

Hello! We’re planning on moving to Lakeland on m a few weeks to get out of our cramped city apartment (yay!) but since the move will take up most of our budget we’ll be having to thrift a lot of furnishings, does anyone have any good thrift stores recommendations (or neighborhoods that have great estate sales)? I’ll be mostly looking for stuff like dressers, bookshelves, a work-from-home desk, and other hard/wooden items (we’ve had a bad experience with bedbugs in the past so we’re not planning on buying anything upholstered secondhand). I would normally love to go exploring myself and find the best spots over time but unfortunately my toddler hates car rides so any advice is welcome!

hello. does anyone need a job at the Lakeland square mall? my boss needs someone because I’ll be leaving on Monday and im her only employe. she’s looking for someone out of highschool, and has transportation

Hey I suffer from social anxiety and needed recommendations for a good cognitive behavioral therapist in Lakeland.

It’s hit or miss whether or not the Woodlake Park courts are packed or not, I’m not sure what days they have a league out there. I know of the Lake Parker Park courts too but I’m looking for somewhere on the south side to play.
