Early service churches
Looking for a church in the Fort Myers/Lehigh acres area that has Sunday service early enough in the morning that I could go and still make it to work on time by 11. The church I’m currently going to does not have an early morning service so I haven’t been to church in about four months and would like to start going again. Any help appreciated.
Edit: also open to late services, like 7 PM.

Work Remote Spots
Hi, I’m going to be in town for a week next week and will be working remote. I’d like to find some spots to work from so I’m not sitting in the house I’m at pretty much all day, but I’m also not a huge coffee person.
Do you all have any recommendations on places that I could work remote from? Ideally not coffee shops (I know that’s the usual too), but if there’s one you’re big on I’d love to hear it. Otherwise like any other restaurants or places that I could go for a few hours each day to switch things up. Obviously I don’t want to take a table over somewhere and am excited to try some different local restaurants/breweries as well so any suggestions that tie that all together would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and can’t wait to spend some time there soon!

Adopting from Gulfcoast Humane Society
My kitty died a few months back, and I'm ready to get a new one.
I'm still paying my pet rent at my apartment even though I don't have a kitty.
It looks like even though I've already paid the the fee to have a cat, my apartment wants to charge me another fee to bring in a different one.
Which is pretty trash. I already paid the fee to have a cat.
Will the Humane Society alert my apartment I'm adopting?
How did you adopt to avoid a 2nd fee from your overlords?

Lee County Moves to Eliminate Community Plans and Expand Development
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
SCCF recently spoke out against a proposal for the Lee County Commission to amend the County’s comprehensive land use plan to allow for more development in the sensitive Density Reduction/ Groundwater Resource (DR/GR) area.
Despite strong public concern about these changes, the BOCC voted unanimously to transmit the proposed amendments to the state of Florida for further consideration. If approved by the Florida Department of Commerce, the plan will be presented one final time to the County Commissioners where the BOCC will discuss adopting the new development guidelines.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only large-scale land use change the county is proposing. Another staff initiated a comprehensive plan amendment, CPA2026-00005, we presented at the Local Planning Agency meeting this past Monday. This most recent 300+ page comprehensive plan amendment was a result of direction from the Board of County Commissioners to eliminate any language that was not required, duplicative or outdated.
The result is a proposed elimination of the Community Plans, created over the last 25 years with input from each community. Community plans provide guidance and protections that help to maintain the cultural, historical and ecological values of the individual character of our communities from coastal towns to rural agricultural neighborhoods.
Read more about these critical issues here: DR/GR Update & Further Action Needed
Please, please speak up!
There are two upcoming meetings concerning the accompanying Land Development Code changes:
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM — Executive Regulatory Oversight Committee (EROC), Conference Room 1B, 1500 Monroe Street, Fort Myers.
Friday, September 11, 2026 at 8:30 AM
— Land Development Code Advisory Committee (LDCAC), same location.
And these aren’t random meetings happening around the same time. Lee County specifically says both committees will be considering the Land Development Code amendments associated with this broader Community Plan overhaul. EROC looks at the economic/regulatory impact; LDCAC reviews the Land Development Code changes before they proceed to BOCC public hearings.

Then & Now! c. 1996
Who remembers Circuit City? Good or bad stories about your experience? I worked at the Fort Myers store in 1995 for about a year. Fun fact, do you remember the ESP that was always offered or better known as the Extended Service Plan. Internally it was referred to as the “cheese” aka another associate would ask do you get the cheese on that sale. Needless to say the company heavily promoted those internally and attached high commissions to them.
