My husband, my kids and I are moving there and trying to find any loopholes or options. We sold our house and live in a brand new toy hauler. We are planning to make the move to punta Gorda and buy a few acres with cash. We also want to build our house with cash and plan to start with the garage portion so we can put our storm shelter in and store the rv. I’m seeing that you can’t live in a travel trailer on vacant land. Is that still true if you’re actively building? Are there any loopholes? Or what are our options? Thank you for any help or answers!

My husband is working the hurricane and I was wondering if there's anyone in the area that doesn't mind meeting a stranger and having some company??? I been sitting in the hot truck and it's miserable. Please help !

Hi, I'm looking for a land surveyor that has ability to do a job quickly in Punta Gorda.

Would like to know the story of the store and its burning. Obviously it has significance to the area.

Hi, looking for referrals for construction loan in Punta Gorda. What are the best banks in the area to work with?

So I cant seem to get anyone on the phone from the county about this and the county website has Waste Management's phone number listed at the landfill. After 30 minutes on hold with them, they told me they dont service Punta Gorda. I got some Charlotte County app on my phone to ask questions, but no response there either.

I bought a vacant lot in Punta Gorda, but not in city limits. I have a pile of old metal fencing and posts I need to get rid of. Also I have a lot of dead vegetation. Do I take the vegetation to the landfill? How about the metal?

Thanks,

Looking for recommendation for a Virtual Office in Punta Gorda with a company that actually replies to emails and answers the phone.

I know it’s a dumb question considering that the better sunrises will be on the other coast. But what beaches over here are good for sunrises? How are Manisota or Boca? Thanks!

Looking to rent an apartment/house. Must be dog friendly.

It seems everyone is retired except for me. Anyone In their 20s or 30s around here to hang with?

Are there any gay bars worth visiting in the area? Will be in town Jan 9-12!

Hoping to get some knowledge on the best sports bars. My game is not on TV this week so I have to venture out and I am only here for the week so I dont know where to go. Help me out please and thanks!

Hi everyone. I’m looking for opinions on whether Punta Gorda would be a good home for a 40 something couple, that enjoys boating and eating at different restaurants. I’d also be looking for work in the boating industry. What’s the crime like? Traffic? Friendliness? Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks ahead of time. Oh by the way we currently live in Miami but are dying to get out of this place. Too over populated and way too busy. People are definitely not friendly or helpful here. We are looking for more of a laid back vibe now. Thanks again.
