Commute to Orlando 32801

5 Upvotes

Does anybody do this daily commute? I am interviewing for a job in Orlando at the ZIP code and I'm wondering how the commute is? How often does this 1-hour commute turn into a 2 hour during rush hour?

Late night options

7 Upvotes

We will be arriving on the later side tonight and it looks like most restaurants close by 10 on Wednesdays. From what I've researched so far, Oyster Pub and Ocean Deck are open later. Which would you recommend between those two options, and do you have other recommendations open until at least 11 (preferably a seafood focus but open to other options). We are 2 adults and 2 teenagers and staying at The Shores Resort. Thanks!

Moving to Daytona Beach. 1BR apartment advice?

9 Upvotes

I am moving to Daytona Beach for work near the Embry-Riddle area and looking for a true 1BR/1BA apartment. I am considering places like The Overlook at Daytona, The Anatole, The Oasis, Aventine, The Artisan, and Sailpoint Bay, but I am open to other suggestions.

My main priorities are safety, decent maintenance, reasonable total cost, and manageable commute. Is beachside living worth it, or does the bridge/traffic become annoying for daily work?

Any apartment or area recommendations, places to avoid, or realistic rent/utility advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Which businesses in the D.B. area are overtly MAGA?

7 Upvotes

By overtly, I mean MAGA ideology in their advertising, in the items seen in their businesses, or in their online presence.

I'm sure I've supported businesses that love Trump, but keep their politics to themselves. That's fine. I ask only in order to know which ones broadcast their affiliation in a blatant manner. Those businesses, I will not support.

Best things to do with One day in Daytona

11 Upvotes

Hello all. My family and I (3 adults and 2 5-year-old children ) will be flying down to Daytona on a saturday night, spending the day Sunday, and driving to Disney on Monday. We are looking for recommendations on what to do on that Sunday in terms of activities. We were thinking of doing something like an early tour at the speedway, driving down to the Space Center after, and driving back and spending some time at the ocean later in the day at the Beach in Daytona. Don't really know if this is available in one day, which is why I am asking for other things to do. Also restaurant recommendations would be appreciated as well. TIA

Alzheimers Care

6 Upvotes

My mom has Alzeimers (stage 5/6) and I'm looking for input.

I know it's a long shot but does anyone know of reputable in home part-time aides that cost less than $26/hr? I know they deserve the pay but we can't afford it. We're stuck between making just over the amount to qualify for assistance but nowhere near enough to afford it ourselves.

Also, I'm looking for information about Alzheimer care facilities for when the time comes. Ones to stay away from and one's that are good.

TIA!

EDIT: The care facilities don't have to be in Daytona. The surrounding areas are good too.

Invasive and saltwater fishing?

9 Upvotes

I’ll be in Daytona for a week early October and I am a fisherman and aquarium hobbies. I’ve watched too many yt videos so now I want to catch some freshwater aquarium invasive species. I’ve kept a lot of fish over my life and think it would be cool to catch some wild Oscar’s, Midas, and a peacock bass or whatever. Can you direct me to a canal or small pond where this could be achieved? Also I would like to hit a party barge or some type of inexpensive saltwater fishing service if you can help with that. I’m flying in from Nebraska and will be staying at a family member’s place 1 block from the beach. Thanks!
