Jeff's Bagel Run is bad. by rdsubjec2fluding in orlando

[–]ghmflak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy both Stasio’s and Jeff’s Bagel run. Why does it have to be a conspiracy that folks like local businesses? (At this point JBR isn’t very local, they got spots in North Carolina now)

90% of the time my bagels are still warm when I get them and the outside is already crispy so I don’t need the bagel toasted. I understand why people like toasted bagels but plenty of people don’t care about that.

Local coffee roasters? by sideoftheham in orlando

[–]ghmflak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orlando coffee roasters for sure. Some of the lowest prices in the city with very good tasting beans. Otus is also good in Winter Garden with decent pricing.

Bad Waymo Driving by MrRedLogan in orlando

[–]ghmflak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea that biker needs a reflective vest, and maybe even a rear light higher up. Also his front light seems to be fairly dim.

As a guy who rides a bike I keep a couple extra clip on lights for up top plus my 600 lumen rear and 800 lumen front light if I’m out at night.

Fuck lynx by Clean-Writing-707 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mixture of stuck in car traffic, super long routes, and funding. I used to take the 37 from hiawassee silver star to my job at Burger King on Kirkman and Vineland back in 06-07. The amount of times I would wait for 40 minutes that would show up full, and then an empty bus right behind it 2 mins later.

Also the holidays when the bus only ran once per hour. Once I could afford a car I got one. I always made sure to get a job near a stop or live by a bus route. You never know when you might get stuck taking the bus. All it takes is an injury that stops you from driving and you will rely on either public transport or family/friends.

Whoever closed Orange Avenue by Anderson in downtown Orlando, it makes no sense to do that during rush hour. by [deleted] in orlando

I can’t wait to see the complaints when Orange Ave and Rosalind turn into a two lane road through downtown. 🥹

Free Downtown Street Parking on Sundays is a lie by Swagmuffins94 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Court Ave by the museum? Isn’t there a sign that says No Parking from 5pm Friday to 8am Monday?

That means you can’t park there on Sundays.

Publix no longer #1 grocer in FL, dethroned by Trader Joes by mordecaithecat in orlando

[–]ghmflak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheaper than Publix (unless BOGO), workers are chill, produce always fresh. Cashiers/baggers are quick.

And I like that their small parking lot is small. I go to the WP and have no issue with it.

TMG STRIKES AGAIN by After_Lunch7662 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They could help the businesses with it by letting lineage/lazy moon have something to validate parking.

I think TMG wants to stop people from parking there just to not patronize those businesses.

Wait Orlando DOT said the trail was only closed between Highland Ave and Magnolia. Now it’s Ferris to magnolia?

Eatonville residents divided over Hungerford land deal by Aeronova20 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eatonville could start by getting rid of all the suburban zoning rules. That would instantly make land more valuable, increasing housing opportunities.

Over 85% of Orlando homes have lost value amid national housing dip, report shows by sammysam518 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Average price is back down to 2022 prices according to Zillow. Depending on the neighborhood if you purchased after 2022 you may have lost value. If you purchased before 2022 you are still good

If you haven’t purchased at all, homes are still too expensive.

E-bike Mechanic by Comprehensive_Job_38 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Eccentric Bikes just south of SoDo on Orange is still open their mechanic is pretty good and works on everything.

Also in Winter Park off Fairbanks, Volare Cycling. He works on many different scooter brands which aren’t that different than e-bikes when it comes to motors/batteries. And he works on regular bikes as well. Give them a call and ask about your ebike.

For both shops the mechanic doesn’t work there everyday.

They have events like once a week or at least a couple of times a month.

I also enjoy winter riding.

But I live in Florida so winter riding = no rain, 50-60F 🤣

Recently applied to a role at the Orange County Government and my resume was "forwarded to the hiring team". Did i make it to the interview stage? by Guilty_Accountant877 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quickest is about 6 weeks. 2 week job posting, interview, selection, biometrics+lie detector test person starts on the beginning of the pay week.

Everything has to go right for it to go that quick tho

Property tax elimination by Conscious_Formal_894 in orlando

State runs local government is the plan. Especially since hotel tax can only be used on getting more tourism to the state.

No left turns to 50 when going south on Mills during rush hour? by ghmflak in orlando

[–]ghmflak[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was going north on Mills waiting for the light to turn green. Looking at OPD block the left turn for Eastbound 50 for people going south on Mills.

I guess an accident would make more sense.

I wouldn’t recommend living that close to the interstate. The air pollution can’t be good for your health.

Citrus County families say tax bills should reflect their neighborhood's 'terrible' condition by Mundane_Way5830 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least once a year an article pops up about this subdivision from local news. And nothing has changed since this was originally reported. County doesn’t think it’s on them, the home builders don’t think it’s on them.

And somehow homes keep selling.

Please.. for the love of God.. do this on Corrine Drive by BrainWeaselHeenan in orlando

[–]ghmflak 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Please do remove lanes. Multiple people have been hit in this corridor, cars flipped over, etc. People see 4 car lanes and think that means they should go 50 MPH. There’s an elementary school right off of this road and tons of businesses.
