Thank you SO much, FEST! Our donation boxes at Hyatt and Hampton Downtown yielded so many goodies that traveling festival goers couldn’t take home, including a stroller! We’re very excited to use these donations to stock free pantries around Gainesville :)

Keep an eye on our socials to stay updated on pantry restocks

From initial proposal of 250 units, with golf course and community farm in a karst zone.

hey everyone,

I’m new to Gainesville and planning to sign a lease at a place closer to ward’s supermarket. Is the area (north central/NW ) and neighbourhood safe? any suggestions would help. tysm!!

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a gym in Gainesville and have looked into some commercial gyms and local gyms...

Ngl, why are some of them so expensive though? I checked out the price at Peach and it was nearly $90 a month for the basic membership, which is, respectfully, atrocious.

I'm open to Crunch since it's within 15 mins of where I live, but the reviews don't look very promising, so can someone share if their experience there has been satisfactory?

In general, pls recommend any gym near the SW part of UF that is around or below $30/mo. THank you!

Plant Swap and Sale happening at Swamphead on November 8 from 12-4pm!

Thanks to 108 Vine (formerly known as Plantstay) for always putting on one of the best plant events in Gville!

(bonus if they’re doing prizes) looking for all the places any night from here until Saturday

Please give me your recommendations! I’m down to my last bra that actually fits and still have another 5!months before I’m due 😅

Does anyone know how busy it gets during early voting , so the coming few days before the weekend, at Tower road branch library ? Asking due to anxiety.

Thanks!

looking for a dj for an event this weekend. anyone available or know someone? ty!

Anyone know where I can buy a few marigolds today? Looking to do something for my girlfriend for the dia de las Almas de las mascotas for her heart dogs she lost this past year and 2 years ago. We previously grew our own but relocated to GNV this summer and didn’t get the chance to grow any this year. Would be greatly appreciated :)

I’m here for school and my stylist back home will be closed when I’m home for thanksgiving and I can’t wait till Christmas to get my hair done 😭 any suggestions for someone that specializes in blonde? Naturally brunette but have been dying my hair blonde since middle school!! This is what I usually get with my touch ups. Thank you!!

The graffitti is in Gainesville and refers to our US Senator. Google "Hope Florida"

As the post states I'm a female in the Gainesville looking for friends in the area. I have great close friends but they all live far. I also love Halloween and am wanting ideas for events and maybe people to go with.

Does anyone know of any mosquito breeding grounds in town I could use to collect mosquito larvae?

I thought everyone would like to know Senator Ashley Moody is holding an event tomorrow. Here's the address and time so you all can go out and meet her, shake her hand, and inquire about her involvement in Hope Florida 💚

I'm relocating and purchased a home. My house can be routed and wired for internet, but my current service is Verizon and I only plan on using Verizon 5g home internet if I have no options left. Not to volunteer additional information, I did fly out and lodged near the area where I'm relocating, and I'll say I'm not too impressed with Verizon's coverage on the Waldo Road area, especially when you drive past GNV airport, Verizon goes from 5g to 2 bars of LTE.

My research indicates my best options are to do the following:

1. Keep Verizon cell service, and get IQ fiber internet (they're not in my area, but they'll reach out to me if they can service there)

2. AT&T fiber but I hate AT&T because their coverage is bad

3. Cox (lol, cox) which seems to be the biggest monopoly here just like Xfinity is the monopoly of Jacksonville, FL. Reviews of Cox seem to be mixed, favoring negative compared to positive. Cox or Pavlov.

4. Put up with my Verizon 5g home internet. I'll get a good budget price, but it's just 5g tower.

5. if anyone has any suggestions, or info about IQ fiber availability reaching locations that it's website says "Stay tuned! We’re not in your area just yet — but we can’t wait to get there!", I am all ears.

(for context: all I ever need in my life is phone service, internet, that's it. No dumb Hulu, Disney, Netflix, HBO, none of that nonsense. I'm perfectly content with a phone that works, and YouTube. Just phone.. internet.. and anything else I'm going to figure out how to put you in jail for elder abuse/the reason why boomers are 80%~ of the cable lamestream media market to this very breathing second. Again, I don't impose my beliefs onto others)

I recently purchased a house in GNV, I always establish utilities and services on my own, but I went through GRU to do the 'StartServiceGuest' (as seen in your url path) to establish electricity only with my house, and GRU would not accept my bank account number despite my various attempts with the correct number. GRU had no issues with the address I put in, the routing number, my name and name associated with the account (it's first/last), but it continued raising a stink about my bank account number, and gave the "failed to validate" error at the top each time. No issues with SSN, DL, DOB, anything else.. just my bank account number I know it for a fact I typed it in right. Because I gave the exact same number to the GRU CS operator and had no issues.

Is this a known issue? I entered all the correct info and GRU even recognized my bank by the routing number (it should do this by default), but just didn't want to validate whatsoever at the account number breakpoint (I work in breakpoints when diagnosing issues since it populates messages with info unfilled or incorrect)

I've never experienced an issue like this ever with any utilities provider, especially when your own site recognizes my bank after inputting routing number.

Trying to find some good playgrounds that are tucked away in neighborhoods. We have a toddler so we don't need the mega playgrounds (Depot, Westside, etc) just yet. Where are some of the hidden playgrounds that are tucked into subdivisions? SW part of town only.

EDIT: Its crazy how quickly this subreddit downvotes. But if you mention any of the approved subjects, instant explosion of upvotes.

Just moved to GNV for work purposes, does anyone here ride ? Wanting to meet other riders.

I had been begging my friends to go to the Afternoon for breakfast because I saw that it was a Michelin recommended restaurant. We went for breakfast and coffee, needless to say we were really disappointed by how salty yet bland everything was. We had tried a variety of their breakfast options and the crispy potatoes were the best thing we had. It’s sad that they were kind of expensive for mediocre food. The coffee had also tasted very sour and flat. I swear im not an extreme food critic and in fact will eat almost anything, but I was so disappointed and felt like crap after eating there. Maybe it was just an off day for them and their new dinner menu is better?

Hi! I’ve never been to Gainesville before and will be celebrating a milestone in January, and was wondering if that would be a good time to visit. I love nature and would love to see all the beautiful greenery in Gainesville. I imagine it is the most lush in the spring and summer and may be better off visiting then, but wanted to know what you guys think. Is it worth visiting in January or should I come another time?
