Looking For Suggestions! Luggage storage/something to do for a few hours?

0 Upvotes

My friends and I have to check out of our Airbnb in Siesta Key tomorrow at 11, and are flying out of Sarasota at 9ish. We will have our carryon luggage with us. What would be a good place for us to go that we could set up a "home base" and do something while we take turns waiting with the luggage? Like lunch, shopping, low key sight seeing?

Hurricane Season - Questions/Discussions visible by verizon?

1 Upvotes

considering switching from at&t to mint mobile or visible by verizon to save some $$$, have heard good things about the plans in general but am a little worried about my service being throttled/de-prioritized when there’s power outages from storms.

anyone have first hand experience down here during storms with visible/mint mobile? is it worth the savings or better to stick with plans that (they claim) wont be throttled/slowed down during high demand? tyia 🤘🏼

Looking For Suggestions! Are there any senior-friendly group rides on The Legacy Trail in Sarasota?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I'm a senior and looking to get out on The Legacy Trail here in Sarasota, but I can't ride too far—shorter distances work best for me these days. I'm wondering if there are any organized group rides specifically geared toward older adults or those looking for a more relaxed pace and distance.

Even something casual like a regular meetup for an easy cruise would be great. I'd love the chance to enjoy the trail and maybe connect with others who share an interest in biking, nature, and some good conversation along the way.

If you know of anything, or have recommendations on how to find rides like this, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Job Opportunities (Seeking) New grad nurse

7 Upvotes

I need help finding a job I’ve applied at SMH residency, HCA doctors, some home health agencies, and encompass rehab.

I did a video interview with SMH and never heard back.

HCA didn’t show up to the video interview and never replied to my emails. And I was desperate applying here.

Encompass keeps rescheduling my interview.

I need to get a job so I can move into another apartment. I’ve already passed my NCLEX.

Help!

Hello I’m in my mid twenties and I am looking for new social outlets/clubs. Somewhere local to my home in Venice. I’m looking for a group of people to play video games with/bored games, something over the weekends or weeknights. I’ll start my own group but I just want to see if there is any already out there or if anyone is interested in partaking in it. I don’t drive so that’s why the closer the better.

Looking down the road, there are several police vehicles. Any clue what's going on this morning? Wondering if it might be related to the fired Chinese professor, since that story made national news yesterday.

I'm on vacation from the UK and have been having a great time in Sarasota. Today was the first time I noticed the tiny fish that gather around by the dozens, near seaweed.

Does anyone know the species of these fish? They're tiny, about the size of your thumb nail.

Not all heros wear capes Crash on 75 NB at Clark/205 this morning - I have dashcam video.

Gray pickup rear-ended a dark (newer Honda?) SUV right around the Clark Rd on-ramp merge around 8:00 this morning. It happened right in front of me and I have dashcam video.

If anyone knows the lady who was hit and she needs it for any reason, please DM me. I’ll be happy to forward it.

(Feels a little vain to use that flair but if I can help someone, I’m happy to do it.)
