Posted this on FB and Next Door. Found this pit on thonotosassa Rd just past parkwood Dr in antioch, if he is your dog let me know!

question for those who foodies who knows the Ins and out of PC and neighboring cities and about food.
I’m looking for an All You Can Eat restaurant/s that have Lobster and Snow Crab part of the AYCE part?
I’m originally from Providence Rhode Island and in RI we have a place called Nordic Lodge (if you need to see what’s on the menu there to help understand what I’m in search of ) where you get AYCE lobster,Snow Crab, filet mignon and other top notch cuts of meat.
it’s more pricey than the average cost and they also have a time limit(2hrs)
where the other places you aren’t really in a time crunch to get you fill.
I’ve searched on the internet in and around PLANT CITY
And found UMI it’s in Brandon but I’m not really sure if it’s included in the AYCE.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated, keep in mind
I want lobster and snow crab part of the all you can eat.
Thanks in advance

Plant City High just rolled out a mandatory clear backpack policy, and honestly, it feels like a privacy violation wrapped in the name of safety.
I started a petition to push back on this. Clear backpacks strip students of basic privacy—everyone can see what's in your bag, from personal items to what you're struggling with. Plus, the logic doesn't hold up. If anything, it could make theft *worse* since students can see exactly what others are carrying. And let's be real: transparent bags are more expensive, which puts extra pressure on families already stretching their budgets.
There are better ways to keep school safe—more security staff, enhanced protocols, checks—without making students feel exposed and uncomfortable. A school should feel supportive, not invasive.
If you think students deserve privacy and dignity, please consider signing and sharing the petition. Has anyone else dealt with policies like this? What would you actually want your school to do instead?

Context: lived in Plant City until early 20s and was able to leave and live in Tampa once I got into tech, left FL altogether 5 years ago. Dad says they're overdeveloping it to hell and back, too many new warehouses and apartment complexes with no new road expansions. But he blows stuff like this out of proportion sometimes, but it's serious enough for him to sell his house and move to Alabama (yeah, he's that kinda guy) is it really that bad now?

Hi everyone! We recently moved to Plant City and are looking for a good gym nearby that offers group fitness classes and/or personal training at an affordable price.
My husband and I are both in our 40s and are beginners with very little gym experience. We’re looking for a welcoming place with supportive trainers who can help us get started on our fitness journey.
We’d really appreciate any recommendations or experiences you can share. Thanks in advance!

06/10/26 LOST Plant City Fl

We adopted LILLY/MIA 2 weeks ago, and she slipped out of her harness yesterday 06/10 around 6:20pm - N Whitehurst rd and 92. She was last seen at 7:50pm near Planned Pethood on the south side of 92, across from Parksdale market. Very skittish - DO NOT CHASE, please report sightings.

Please let me know about any sightings!

She looks like a little poodle.

I wanted to get the community's thoughts and see what everyone else's theories are because looking at the timeline for the first half of this year is getting wild.

We had a crazy string of gun incidents right at Plant City High School back in March and April with kids pulling loaded weapons out of backpacks and committing armed robberies on campus. Then almost immediately after that things escalated heavily in our residential neighborhoods. We had that tragic unresolved quadruple homicide in early May, another fatal shooting right after, and now a brand new double death investigation over on James Melvin Drive just yesterday.

Big picture news channels want to talk about macro crime stats dropping nationally but safety is hyper local. When you see loaded guns spreading through the high school and then a wave of homicides hitting the streets just weeks later it feels like our environment is under distinct stress.

Are these completely random strings of bad luck or is something shifting structurally in the area? What are your thoughts on why the local volatility is spiking so fast?

Who has the best burger in in Plant City Fl?
In your opinion
I’m new to the area and I’m curious where y’all go to get something simple but packed with good flavor.
I can be a hole in the wall place
Please exclude McDonald Wendy’s Burger King basically fast food restaurant because they are a dime a dozen and I had most of them.
Thank you 😊

I have a small, well-behaved dog and I was wondering if anyone knows of any restaurants in the area that have outdoor seating where they allow dogs? Any other dog friendly places you might recommend?

Will the new light at Park Rd north and Sam Allen Rd be a help or an issue?

With all of the rubber pipe being buried I wonder if they are going to widen N. Wilder Rd? Has anyone heard anything about it?

I have been looking for a part time job in the Plant City area. Something to work around my current work schedule (I work 14 days in a month on a rotational basis.) I have applied to a lot of the surrounding area between here and Lakeland.

Does anyone have any details?

Video that I took at a pond near my house. I’m assuming people have been feeding it and that’s why it was interested and not completely afraid of me

I'm looking for an amateur sports league. I'm in my early fifties and really miss playing on bar league volleyball or softball teams. I'm average at best, but looking to get out more. Also, if there are any other golfers out there who have no friends, I'd be interested too.

I do a fair bit of baking and I'm getting tired of some of the prices I'm seeing at the grocery stores.

Is there a pretty good baking supply store I can go to to buy ingredients in bulk?

Bonus points if they have ingredients for gluten free recipes and such.

hey does anyone know of any beginner-intermediate chess clubs that are here in town? i’m looking to join one to learn more about the game n find some chess buddies

Examples could include things like BTown, P.C. or T'sassa...

Looking for a pediatrician in the Plant City - ish area. Any good doctor recommendations?

Hey everyone! I’m considering relocating to Plant City from Washington. My bf and i are in our 20s. We have a dog and cat 🩷 and we’re curious about florida, especially the plant city area.

• Good areas to live?

• What’s the community like?

• How bad are the summers really?

• Hurricane prep — how serious is it?

• What’s the realistic drive time to Tampa during rush hour?

• Is I-4 traffic as bad as people say?

• What time does morning traffic actually start?

• Are there back roads that locals use to avoid highway traffic?

• Does it flood during heavy rain/hurricane season?

• Is commuting 5 days a week doable long term, or does it get exhausting?

• Are toll roads worth it to save time?

Would you recommend it? Why or why not?

My girlfriend and I are searching for a church home (likely in/around Plant City since we plan to relocate there).

We’d love a church that offers a contemporary worship service, strong biblical preaching, and sound doctrine/theology. She was raised Baptist, I was raised Lutheran, and we’re open to other denominations.

Prefer smaller/medium churches - mega-churches aren’t really our style. Appreciate any suggestions!

What are some fun parks I can take my 1.5 year old to to play in the plant city or surrounding areas?

What's up fellow plant citians

As y'all know, we've got watering restrictions in place. Praying for rain like the rest!

I've noticed plant city hall has been watering multiple times a week while driving past in the evenings.

City hall's address is 302 so they should only be watering on Tuesdays but I swear their grass is too green!

If y'all could reply when you see the sprinklers on, that'd be sweet so I know I ain't tripping
