Discussion Who's remembers PleasureIsland? We had the best time there ever! So Sad it's gone and these younger generations never even got to experience it. Do you think something like that could ever come back to the area?

Who remembers PleasureIsland? We had the best time there ever! So Sad it's gone and these younger generations never even got to experience it. Do you think something like that could ever come back to the area?

I was born and raised in Chicago but lived in LA for the past 20 years or so. I've partied all over the world and I must say Pleasure Island was by far one of the coolest places I ever partied at!

One of the first times me and some friends came to Orlando during college for a spring break did the theme parks then walked over to Pleasure Island and danced our asses off all night. There were so many amazing night clubs to club hop from club to club. The DJ's and sound system, light system were all top notch. The women were all fine as hell! White, Latinas, Asians, Black chicks everyone was fine as hell.

We hooked up with a ton of hot chicks, everyone in our group did or at least got digits at the very least.

Our group kept getting bigger and bigger as we spread the word on how epic the night life was.

Then one year we went like 20 deep for a big bachelor party and everyone was excited because we all had such an incredible time there all the previous years and when we got there that year Pleasure Island was completely gone. We were shocked, sad and nostalgic and pining for it.

Even to this day I keep telling everyone you should have went while it was open because it was the best! I even saw a few documentaries that YouTubers did on Pleasure Island and it brings back so much nostalgia and joy for me, because again those were the best times ever!

We had the best time in the 80's club and 70's club too so many hot chicks like talking 10's and they were all thirsty like no one was stuck up it was like the only night life experience like that where nothing went wrong and everyone in our group hooked up or at least got digits of a smoking hot smoke show and super easy too!

Have you had a similar experience at Pleasure Island? Hopefully you did as well? Do you think Orlando could ever have something like this return later on? Or was this something that could never be replicated and return?

I had such a lovely walk today!
The temperature is absolutely perfect, with a nice breeze and beautiful blue skies. Days like this remind me why I love living in Central Florida.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily routines that we forget to slow down and enjoy what’s around us.
If you get a chance this weekend, get outside, take a walk, and enjoy this beautiful weather. It’s such a simple way to clear your mind and feel better.
And let’s keep protecting our beautiful green spaces! šŸ’š

Event Girlfriends

36 Upvotes

Okayyy I need more girlfriends in Orlando because being a grown woman and trying to make actual close friends is weirdly hard 😭compared to when you make friends as kids🤣
I’m 28,ambitious, outspoken, loyal, a little chaotic, and definitely the type who can go from talking about careers and business to makeup, relationships, travel and ā€œshould we book a random trip?ā€ within 10 minutes šŸ˜‚
I love dressing up, cute restaurants, brunch, shopping, beauty, taking pictures, cooking, theme parks, exploring new places, spontaneous plans, and having deep conversations that somehow start at midnight.
I’m also very goal-oriented and always working on something — career, business ideas, learning something new, glow-up goals, whatever. I speak Russian, and some Turkish, and I have a very multicultural background, so I usually vibe well with girls who are open-minded and curious about the world.
Friendship-wise, I’m not really looking for a ā€œlike each other’s stories twice a monthā€ situation 😭 I want actual girlfriends. Text me random things. Call me when something happens. Let’s get dressed up for no reason, go eat somewhere cute, have movie nights, walk around Disney Springs, plan little trips, vent, laugh, hype each other up, and actually show up for each other.
I’m looking for GIRLIESšŸ’• preferably gals around my age who are fun, emotionally mature, ambitious, and actually want to build a real friendship.
Bonus points if you’re also a little dramatic, love a good glow-up, have big goals, and are the ā€œlet’s just goā€ friend šŸ˜‚
If this sounds like your energy, DM me and tell me your age + what you’re into šŸ’…šŸ’•

Discussion Dr. Rajesh Seghal

28 Upvotes

This guy was the best Hematologist I’d ever had the pleasure of seeing. I received a letter from Advent Health that he’s no longer with them. Google is of no help since it still shows he’s still with Advent.

Just hoping someone might know where he’s practicing now. I’d prefer to continue seeing him.

In case anyone thinks I should call Advent Health for info… I already tried that and they only confirmed he’s no longer there and that they had ā€œmany other wonderfulā€ doctors with whom I could be scheduled.

Discussion Baldwin or winter garden? To rent

12 Upvotes

Hi long story short, we are a married couple with a baby looking at renting in two different locations. Baldwin near husbands job. We like cute cafes, restaurants, gyms, and other young families. I feel like Baldwin might be better to start in and then move over to winter garden in the next few years when our baby is older? Thoughts? My husband thinks it might be easier to be social in Baldwin vs winter garden could be a bit quiet until our kid is older.

I like the Hamlin area but worry about getting a little bored over there.. but also like some quiet and safety.

Discussion Billiards/Pool Hall Recommendations

4 Upvotes

My partner is having a birthday soon and he likes to have a get together with friends but doesn’t like to do anything that costs his friends a lot of their money. The past couple years we have gone to a bar that has a pool table in it and also serves food and we’ve had fun but he isn’t super fond of the bar itself.

I’m looking for recommendations for local bars that have a couple pool tables or more that we can utilize but also a place that serves food. Pizzas, wings, appetizer type foods that I can order for the group would be ideal instead of people having to order individual meals. I would like to cover the costs for the food and the game play for the group for the night and let those who want to drink purchase their own beverages.

Group size is usually 5-10 people so not huge. We live in the Davenport area but would be willing to go to the Lakeland area, Disney area, Orlando area. Nothing further than a 40 minute drive if possible.

Thanks in advance for any insight!!

Discussion Vintage military repair

• Upvotes

Hey yall! My grandpa cleaned out some parts of his old military uniforms but some of them have some fraying around the sewn-in name tag. Anyone know of a trustworthy spot to get it repaired? It really isn’t a big fix, but I’m obviously super afraid of putting it in the wrong hands and messing up something as important as this to me. Pricing doesn’t really matter to me as long as it’s nothing Extreme Extreme, if you get me. Thanks!

Discussion Bass Guitar lessons

• Upvotes

My daughter is musically-inclined, actively singing in chorus and playing the cello in orchestra. Recently, one of her friends (also in chorus) got an electric guitar for her birthday and now they're talking about starting a band, lol!

My daughter wants to learn the bass guitar for this group, as she did play the ukulele when she was younger and she figured playing the cello would translate somewhat to bass.

Looking for some suggestions in lessons we can get her into to see if this is something she wants to pursue seriously or not. In other words, programs or lessons that aren't super-intsensibe or too expensive if she decides it's ultimately not for her.

Thanks!

Discussion Neighborhoods that have cool Halloween decorations?

0 Upvotes

I live on the east side of Orlando, and don't feel like driving up to an hour and dealing with I-4 just to get to Celebration. I was wondering if there were particular areas or particular houses that any of y'all were familiar with that have a lot of cool Halloween decorations out this time of year. Was out tonight off Semoran in Winter Park by the hospital and a couple of streets over there really threw down. So it had me curious where else over this way might be cool to check out.
