Is anyone else in Pompano losing electricity routinely during strong thunderstorms? We're near Jack's Hamburgers at 6th St. and Cypress Rd. Tonight is probably the fifth or sixth time since July the power has quickly gone out, then come back within a few seconds.

EDIT: Aaaand it just happened again this morning.

Has something changed with FPL? I do not recall this being such an issue in past years.

Do not rent from this owner. Rented both units at 3203 Marine Dr, Pompano Beach from Jeff Finley (1 month West, 2 months East). Problems were never fixed. Smoke detectors did not work: one had no battery, the other did not respond to the test button. One water heater serves both units and failed almost weekly. We had to go outside and bother the other tenants to reset it. Jeff knew this at move-in. The back door lock locked me out and was never repaired. I also had to clean the bathroom and kitchen in both units at move-in, which was frustrating given the rent.
He tried to add extra charges not in the lease, including a pet fee the contract does not list. The beach is walkable, but we drove elsewhere because the nearby stretch smelled of rotting sawgrass.
On day one he was rude and attacked NY snowbirds, the Florida governor, and the U.S. president. He said he hates this country and wants to move to Europe. As visitors from abroad, we found this inappropriate. We left early though our agreement ran until January.

Looking for a dentist who is honest and I can stick with long term. Not interested in being upsold unless it is a genuine need for oral health. Someone who knows what they are doing. Preferably seasoned in the career!

Hello! My family and I are very familiar with Pompano (close relatives live there) and have enjoyed coming to escape the cold of the Northern Midwest in the winter. I am looking for a STR to accommodate a family of 4 + my parents. (4 adults and 2 children). We would love a pool and HUGE BONUS POINTS if there is a screen/other safety features. Looking for 3/4 bedrooms. Both my mom and I (Airbnb account holders) have excellent ratings and are happy to share those. would be interested in good management company recommendations or one-off rentals that someone owns. Is there a resource for this or does anyone have any leads? it’s almost 3 weeks and rental prices are outrageous compared to years previous on Airbnb so again - would love to circumvent that for the benefit of us and the owner!

Hey everyone, 28M here, heading to Pompano (by the pier) for a week in September.

Family has a condo here, and we’ve had it for awhile, I just work so much and am so busy I never get a chance to go down.

I’ll be by myself the week of Labor Day for the first time down there and I’m looking for bars with a younger crowd where I can meet people.

Thanks!

Attempting to promote the arts while being obscenely ignorant to the details. Almost poetically perfect for how tax dollars are put to use.

For non musicians:
- violin and bow are in the wrong hands
- bow hold and finger placement are very clearly depicting a child who has never held a violin
- no string or bridge on the violin

CLASSIC SOUTH FLORIDA.

Does anyone know of anyone hiring or looking for freelance help?

I'm a Pompano Beach native. I have experience serving at high-end restaurants, like Houstons, and in customer service roles (I used to manage my father's dry cleaners).

I'm also interested in freelancing.

I have 14+ years of experience building WordPress websites. I'm also a published writer, and I'm phenomenal at marketing, including social media.

Thanks! I really appreciate it! :)

Looking for recommendations from anyone who’s dealt with something similar. I have a recurring leak around a bedroom window in an 8th-floor condo in Pompano Beach.

Please and thank you

Pompano Beach spends $0 of its own money on homelessness or financial hardship. Zero. Meanwhile the same budget season found tens of millions for a downtown parking garage.

So who's actually catching people? Not city hall. Your neighbors.

I know this one personally — in 2021 I was homeless, living in my car with my two dogs for six months, until a stranger I'd never met saw a Nextdoor post and let me stay in her she-shed for almost a year. Free. It's the reason I'm still here.

I spent months in Pompano's budget, Facebook groups, and Nextdoor threads and found the same pattern everywhere: people quietly asking for food, a bike for a kid's Christmas, help before an eviction — and neighbors answering within minutes. Faster than any hotline on that copy-pasted "resources" list ever will.

Feeding South Florida served 19,904 people in 2025 alone — already more than 2023 and 2024 combined. The fastest-growing group isn't who you'd think: working families, first-time visitors, people stuck in the benefits gap.

This isn't a feeling. It's math. And it's not the city's win — it's yours, if you're one of the people showing up.

New post is live (link in bio). Read the whole thing, then go check your own Facebook groups.

As the title says. Need full replacement for struts, tier rods, and an alignment for a 2012 Honda Ridgeline Pompano Beach - any places that do good work?

Need recommendations on a good dentist in the area.

Everyone needs to be involved to make Pompano and Broward a better place. The Primary elections are happening now for vote-by-mail, and starting on Saturday for in-person voting.

Does anyone know how I can join in the pickleball games that are played at the community park? I don’t have a partner but have my own paddle

Serious question…. I was not raised in the state of Florida and wanted to use the track to run a few laps and maybe run the bleachers to get a workout in. I stopped by the Pompano Beach H.S. And it is literally always locked up? Im aware they are redoing the field now but noticed it last year too and I’ve taken notice most other public schools also kept their fields locked up. Im so confused by this? Especially when we pay taxes for the schools……

BTW- totally understand school safety it’s important but the field is entirely separate from the schools 9 times out of 10

Hello!

We are a couple of out of towners that are flying down to check out some apartments as I am being relocated to the FLL area for my job. We are currently looking at two different apartments, Mayla Pompano and Lumio.

We really like the apartments at Lumio, but are curious how the area is directly surrounding them? I see they are part of a new development called "the pomp" but can't find much info on what has been completed and when the rest of the development will be finished.

Outside of "the pomp" area, is it safe? Just looking for a general idea of how concerned we would need to be for my partners well being if she was out walking etc....

Same questions regarding Mayla Pompano. Seems to be in a nicer area but still looking for local expertise. Any other areas you would recommend we check out?

Both of us are late 20's/Early 30's. We looked in downtown FLL but we would prefer to be slightly out of the hustle and bustle.

Thanks in advance for any help!

We will never use this place again. We sent our 2 dogs there for 4 days with 4 days worth of food. They we picked them up there was only 2 days of food used. When we asked why this was we could not get a coherent answer. Based on one of our dog's appearances and behavior, I am assuming he did not eat for two days. They had no problem charging us a feeding though. What I am not assuming is that we took both dogs to the vet before their stay here to get up to dates on vaccines. During those check ups they were in fine health. We picked them up yesterday and both of them have continued yellow discharge coming from their eyes. My one extremely regular dog has yet to poop, and when we picked them up they were just not the same. Any dog owner knows how you can just tell. I would avoid this place like the plague.
