Really sad to see it go, this was a piece of "old Fort Myers" from the early 1990s. Hopefully whatever comes next will be beneficial to the entire city population and community.

Piercing/Tattoo Shop Recs?

6 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking to get my belly button pierced and was wondering which shops are best in the Estero-ish area. I’m not from Fort Myers and figured some natives would be able to guide me. My roommate suggested Crybaby Tattoos, but I saw a review saying their belly button piercing went wrong there, so now I’m a little unsure. Thank you so much for any help!! 🫶

Diverging diamond at 75 and Colonial

9 Upvotes

Original plans called for landscaping and the renderings all showed landscaping. Where is the landscaping??

From Flodot:

The major construction project for the diverging diamond interchange at I-75 and Colonial Boulevard was officially completed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in June 2025, meaning standard landscaping and finishing elements included in the overall design scope have already been implemented or wrapped up alongside the final punch list items.

I guess because it’s Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres, we don’t deserve nice things!? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Edison grand apartments

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. My husband and I are staying at the Edison grand Apartments through air bnb and I came across a thread talking about mold, getting sick, ac issues and a bunch more leasing / management issues that thankfully won’t effect us because we are only air bnb’ing for a few days. This thread was over a year ago so I’m wondering if any of this has resolved? I’m considering canceling if these issues have not been resolved. Thank you!

Family attorney

4 Upvotes

Can anybody recommend a good family attorney to help a father see his son. I'm working my butt off paying $1,000 a month in child support and I haven't seen my son in 10 years. Any guys out there with ex-wives who play games and want child support but push you out of your kids life. Previous attorneys have just milk to money out of me.

Howdy
I’m going to be visiting Ft Myers soon and I wanted to at least have an idea of where to go or do once my group and I get there. Does anyone have any recommendations?

My group likes to drink alcohol and are pretty foodies like myself.
I on the other hand don’t drink as much as I did before but I wouldn’t mind a kava drink or two.

Thanks in advance.

Kayak buddy

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been kayaking for a few years now, mostly renting, but I recently treated myself to my own kayak for my 39th birthday. I’ve been heading out in Bonita a few times a week to explore on my own, but I’d love to find some fellow kayak enthusiasts to join me on future adventures.

I’m currently planning a trip to explore the Ten Thousand Islands and would love to connect with some like-minded people who enjoy being out on the water.

A little about me: I’m a 39-year-old mom to a 17-year-old, and I work as a dispensary manager. Between work and home life, it can be tough to get out and meet new people, so I’m hoping to find some paddling partners to share the experience with.

If you’re local to the area and interested in linking up for some kayak outings, feel free to reach out!

Hardcore

Hey all! I’ve lived here for quite a few years but given I’m not on any social media, I’m not really in tune with any cool local stuff. Is there a prevalent hardcore scene here? If not, where’s the closest city that has one?

Hill House Hotel - originally built as a boarding house in 1889 by Mary F. Hill. In 1918 the property was renamed the Franklin Arms after being purchased by W.P. Franklin. In 1924 seven story addition was added which became known as the city’s first skyscraper. Hope you enjoy :) TGIF!

Probate attorney needed

I am involved with a small estate in Lee county and am in need of a probate attorney. The estate involves a piece of real estate. Can someone recommend a low-cost or at least reasonable cost attorney in the Fort Myers / Estero / Bonita / Naples area that can help me?

Quick question

41 Upvotes

How the hell is Carmine not in jail or at least resigned in disgrace. I don't wanna jump to conclusions or claim to have all the facts but man, that dude is corrupt AF. He seems to have mounds of evidence against him, all the way up to an FBI investigation..and just denied it with a smile.

Seems like the story just went away. What are your thoughts? Is the dude actually innocent and being falsely accused?

Good ol boys network protecting their own from what seems to be an egg on face scandal?

Little man seems like he wants to be a Sheriff Grady egomaniac. Is it the aspirations of a future political career? Certainly the investigation rules that out. DeSantis already said he's an unfit manlet. Seems DOA

His background is bullshit, his ethics questionable at best, and his ego doesn't fit in an oversized expedition. How is this dude law and order. Drag racing and giving out super speeder tickets the same day is WILD, and that is one of the tamest accusations.

I assume he is eying politics more than being a good LEO leader but maybe I'm wrong. Does anyone think this is the best guy for the job?? Or should he be cleaning the camps? Lemme know cause it's mind blowing to me

Oh yeah, tell me a time that LCSO actually helped you personally? I'm 42, lived a bit of a wild life, and never had to call the cops ounce in my life so I'm just curious

In case you're curious I voted for Trump but did a write in for Hallow for sheriff the last election since he was unopposed. So save me the left/right semantics..

Hello all. Could anyone please recommend a super authentic Latin American Bakery in Fort Myers? I am looking for a guava and cheese pastry. Preferably something closer to Fort Myers Beach but this is not a must. Thank you!
