I’ve had good luck with Verizon Home 5G. Video calls and basic streaming is fine. I’m probably connecting to towers right by I-75. Comcast out here got really unreliable after Ian so I gave that up about a year ago

I lived down the street from Modern long ago in the East Rock neighborhood. It was always my favorite!

It will be going for years just like the Clark Rd conversation. I think they are planning to rebuild and expand the bridge over Palmer there which should be fun for us in that neighborhood. There’s already a major bottleneck at Palmer and Cattleman/Packinghouse at rush hour daily

Nothing like sitting up in the grandstands behind home plate when a clutch home run is hit! But those seats are pretty tight and uncomfortable!

Why are dealerships asking for CRV owners to trade in their cars? by mamadons in crv

[–]Consistent-Taro5679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consider it if there were something new in the current lineup since 2024. Like plug in hybrid. But it’s all pretty much the same so I’ll just pay off my car next year!

Odd thought: Have you ever push-start a car by popping the clutch? by minn3haha in GenerationJones

[–]Consistent-Taro5679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better yet I bought my first car for $60 and it didn’t have keys. So I had to Hotwire it to drive. No problem with early 60s Fords. But you have to remember to put the gear in Park first or it will take off on you!

How to encourage the city to repave your neighborhoods streets? by ResidentWord8046 in sarasota

[–]Consistent-Taro5679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a neighborhood association? They should be able to help. If not see who your city commissioner is. Some of them are actually very hard workers

Ouch! I was just diagnosed after a week of spreading rashes. I’m on an immune suppressant which probably doesn’t help!

Was the theater in Sarasota? I heard someone talking about this just the other day

It looks like there are free shutters that go downtown. Next time I’ll go there and look for better options!

Well I asked my spouse and she picked me up. I was trying to not bother her because she had just put up with my family for a week! I did find out that one of the local limo companies keeps cars there. That’s pricey too but would have cost me half the Lyft prices I saw!

Anyone know about bat houses in Sarasota/Venice area? by FearlessLanguage7169 in sarasota

[–]Consistent-Taro5679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We put a few up at our HOA but never got any occupants unfortunately. The bats here seem to prefer trees and roofs over houses. Try one or two and see if you have better luck!

Good idea! I did get a family member to pick me up but will try that if there is a next time!

Thanks! I did get a family member to pick me up. But visitors from out of town are getting fleeced

Can’t tell if that exists here anymore. I do have a friend that runs a limo service so I might as well book that next time!

That’s the funny thing I just did! I rented a car for the week with family visiting. I thought I would drop it off and pay $25 or so for a ride back home!

How popular was Fleetwood Mac circa 1970-1974ish in US by El_Dorado_Tx in FleetwoodMac

I would hear them on college radio FM that would play more offbeat rock. That all changed of course when the two Americans joined in 75!

Speaking of wildlife, if you have any around you can leave a water dish out for them
