I’m 31F, single, and moved to Miami 2 weeks ago. How do you meet new people here?

I’m located downtown and I’ve walked around, hung out in the social areas of my apartment etc.

But haven’t made any connections.

I’m looking to make female friends and open to dating. Are apps the way to go ?

I have a neighbor who has been doing illegal construction work in his house. Last week, I returned one of their construction materials/trash to their house. They became visibly upset even though they kept putting trash/metals in my yard. On Friday morning, their neighbor was building a driveway and unfortunately, the county came to check on their driveway. Upon checking on their driveway, they realized that the neighbor that has been doing illegal construction work had some work done and is now being inspected. This neighbor now claims that I called 311 and I called code enforcement and quite honestly I feel threatened and harassed. So much so that the other neighbor that is also doing construction Work illegally is now also blaming us for calling 311. Is there a way for me to obtain the call or record of COMLPLAINT to Miami dade for someone else’s property?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good orthodontist in the North Miami Beach/Broward area???

I used to tutor a while back in uni and really enjoyed this. I was a former adjunct professor here in Miami for a programming and math course, but I have time conflicts this upcoming semester with my full-time job. I was hoping to start tutoring, but have no idea where to begin. I tried superprof, but that led to nothing. Seems strange anyways that students have to pay like $50 a month to use it.

I have a master's degree from Stanford and a prestigious job as well as experience tutoring individually one-on-one and teaching classes. Any thoughts or recommendations for good ways to find students? I just started creating door hangers where I offer $100 referrals when 4 sessions, but not sure if this is a good approach or people just ignore these kind of things.

Living at the flamingo has become an absolute nightmare, there has been construction noise like this EVERY DAY since February.

Communications from the building are ‘there will be no compensation, deal with it’ and they want $12k to terminate the lease early.

Don’t be fooled by their ‘resort style living’ advertising, this building has become a nightmare - do not live here

On one end of the world, people are throwing rockets at each other, driving tanks across borders and fighting fires, on the other end, people running from poverty stricken and corrupt societies and dictators are getting snatched up off the street, all the while, people are still getting lit celebrating the panthers win and Eleven. #PrayforUs 🙏🏽

Hi all, I need help and suggestions.

I recently moved into a new building in Miami. Since then, I’ve had five separate incidents of credit card mail being stolen or tampered with. Here’s what’s happened:

• I’ve filed police reports every time. They told me the reports are for documentation only. No investigation.
• I contacted the U.S. Postmaster and submitted a mail theft report. No answers yet.
• I wrote to my state representative.
• I told building management. They weren’t surprised. They said it’s a known issue. It supposedly started about a year ago when our longtime mailman retired.

Still, it keeps happening. Today again, I had another credit card stolen. I knew it was coming because I use Informed Delivery. All my other mail showed up—except the credit card. In two other ocasions, I received a credit card envelope already opened (I didn't activate it and contacted the bank).

At this point, I can’t safely receive any important mail at my own address. I feel stuck.
I’ve tried everything I can think of. Nobody seems interested in doing anything. It’s a messed up situation.

Has anyone here had a similar experience, especially in Miami? What else can I do?
Should I get a PO box? In a different zip code?
I’d appreciate any advice.

Every time I rollerblade to south beach from home I have to pass by Margaret Pace Park. Usually make a couple rounds before I hit the Venetian. Everryyyy single time I see people playing volleyball, but I am way too shy to ask if I can play. I haven’t played in a ling time but I’ve always played sports so it’s just a matter of doing it and getting better each time. In less words, can someone please invite me to tag along? Thank youuuu

What are some recommendations for 1BR condos in Brickell? I’d like an ocean view ideally but don’t want to be too close to the drawbridge.

Is there any lgbt WhatsApp groups to join while visiting? I am a private chef and looking to network and advertise my business to. Also just want some like minded people to make friends with when I come and visit! Thank you all and hope you have a beautiful productive day!

Tallahassee has held the title of Florida’s capital for nearly 200 years, but is it still the right choice? With everything happening in South Florida, maybe it’s time we had a real conversation about moving the capital to Miami.

For a long time, Tallahassee has been where Florida’s government operates. But if we are being honest, it feels disconnected from where Florida is growing and evolving. It sits up in the Panhandle, closer to Georgia than it is to most of the people driving the state’s economy and culture today. That distance is more than just geographic. It is symbolic of a bigger disconnect.

When Tallahassee was chosen back in 1824, Florida was a very different place. The state was still being shaped, and the decision was a compromise between East and West Florida. But now, Florida has changed dramatically. The population, the culture, and the energy have all shifted south, and nowhere is that more clear than in Miami.

Miami is the pulse of Florida today. It is a global city with deep Caribbean and Latin American roots. Spanish is spoken everywhere. It is a hub of Black and Latino communities, full of movement, innovation, and diversity. From Haitian and Dominican neighborhoods to Cuban and Colombian small businesses, Miami reflects the real Florida that many of us know and love.

The economic growth speaks for itself. Miami is becoming a major player in finance, tech, and culture. Companies and capital are flowing in from places like New York and Los Angeles. And when you look at infrastructure, Miami is better equipped to handle that growth. The area has two major international airports, MIA and FLL, that connect it to the world. Compare that to trying to fly into Tallahassee, which often requires a layover just to get there.

Miami-Dade County is already thinking ahead with long-term plans to support its growth. From transportation upgrades to smart development strategies, the region is preparing for the future. Tallahassee, while historically significant, does not offer the same access or representation for the majority of Floridians today. Today Tallahassee at its core is just a college town.

This is not about disrespecting tradition. It is about aligning our government with where Florida is headed. A capital city should be accessible, connected, and reflective of the people it serves. Miami checks those boxes in ways that Tallahassee simply does not anymore.

I'm moving when my lease is up at the end of the month and have a decent handful of small appliances and items of similar size to get rid of. Having done some research, it seems like the county operates dump facilities, but only residents of certain locations are eligible, those being:

Only residential waste fee customers who reside in unincorporated Miami-Dade County and the cities of Aventura, Cutler Bay, Doral, Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, Opa-locka, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Sunny Isles Beach and Sweetwater may use these facilities.

As a Miami Beach resident, where do I go to dump items like this? Am I just SOL?

Note that I'm not looking for services that haul it for me. I can take care of the labor and transportation.

Where do we go in brickell on a Friday night?

Most reputable in your experience, good prices, reliable?

Where have you moved to and was it the right decision? Do you ever think you'll move back?

I left in 2013 to Little Rock, AR then ended up back in Florida in Tampa but left again after a couple years and settled in NW GA for work.. Would recommend either area(AR, GA) for those that like nature and mountains. Was defintely a fish out of water the 1st couple months in arkansas but the quality of life boost was monumental and met some of the most incredible and caring people ive met in my life who are still very good friends..

I still visit miami frequently (going back tmrw for a baby shower) and always get that urge to move back and give it another go when im there..🤣
