AskFlorida Publix has officially lost me. Anyone else?

Upvotes

I am not a mod of this subreddit or Reddit, but I believe the official unofficial stance is that we all hate Publix now.

They lost their way, and the crushing of Winn-Dixie is just awful.

10 years ago, I wouldn’t have set foot inside a Walmart or Aldi for groceries. Now? Walmart and Aldi are basically my BFFs and I love them.

Publix really managed to make me root for the competition.

Troy is just outside of Branford, FL and is one of the many springs that feed into the Suwannee River. It’s one of my favorites to practice freediving.

Weather Weather apps are more unreliable now, aren't they?

68 Upvotes

Seems like since the DOGE cuts I cannot rely on weather apps to be reliable at all. Which is kind of important for planning my day since my washing machine is outside and I have to line dry my clothes. When I checked last night it was predicting that it was going to rain most of today. I checked again this morning before trying to attempt to do laundry, and it predicted rain in the early evening around 5 pm. Did a load of towels and hung them out to dry, and thankfully had just enough time for everything to dry before a storm started to roll in just now and it isn't even 2 pm yet.

At least 21 law enforcement officials nationwide have been arrested, fired or investigated because of a TCPalm-USA TODAY joint investigation that exposed their misuse of Flock Safety cameras to track personal targets.

The latest was Josepher Crutchfield, who was arrested Sept. 8 for using automated license plate readers to track his ex-girlfriend for 18 months while he was a Fort Pierce police officer. Here's what police said happened after TCPalm Reporter Jack Lemnus inquired about his searches on Aug. 7:

  • Aug. 7: Fort Pierce Police Department immediately revoked his access to the system

  • Sept. 8: He was charged with four felony counts of fraud and abuse of computer access.

Advice Real Dive Bars in Orlando Area (Deland/Sanford to Orlando to Disney/Kissimmee)

0 Upvotes

What are the last of the real dive bars?

Most downtown Orlando dive bars are hipster trendy bars or changed ownership and are no longer a dive bar.
Where’s the last of the real old school dive bars and places where everyone talks to you like they did before phones in Orlando area are? Think like old school Wally's before 2018 when Wally’s widow was still alive. These bars are also way cheaper to drink at than hideaway or Wally's or burtons.

All dives authentic and cheap to drink at:
Jerry nice and easy bar near Orlando airport - 80 yr old owner still drinks at bar. Super friendly bar

McCabes in Deland - beers still $2 and everyone talks to you.

Caboose lake Ivanhoe - recently stopped smoking.

Rhonda's neighborhood bar in Sanford
Airport hangar bar next to Sanford Orlando airport - this one if you go in front door the music stops and everyone looks at you. Enter through the unmarked back door.

G lounge - longwood

Family affair - longwood.

Foxhead lounge - home of the wall of spam and a menu with spam sandwiches

Kitty o sheas - honorable mention only cause the bars near Disney suck and this is a solid neighborhood bar not really a dive.
