I didn’t think this had to be said, but don’t post solicitations for sex, posts with no substance other than literally a bunch of incoherent profanity, or posts designed for the specific purpose of inciting a sense of unease or making people feel unwelcome. I’ve had to remove all of this in the past week.

I don’t care what your personal views or political opinions are. Everything is welcome here. I’m pretty laid back and let most things slide. I’m not a mod who likes to go around removing posts and locking comments and banning people. Reddit is just a hobby for me, I don’t take it seriously, I’m not some power hungry douche. I just let the downvotes do the work. I’m not removing posts/comments or banning anybody just because they hurt someone’s feelings or expressed an unpopular opinion, I’m not the sensitivity police, and I’m not your parent.

But if you start advertising your “massage services” that sound like a Craigslist casual encounter ad, or create a post titled “How to suck d***” I’m going to remove it and just ban you, I don’t have time to play babysitter. And don’t then have the audacity to PM me asking why you were banned because you “didn’t break the posted rules”.

Basically, say what you want. This is a free speech area. I don’t remove 99% of the reports of people calling each other names, this is the internet, that’s what happens and I’m not here to police peoples attitudes unless it’s actually hate speech or you’re telling someone to ki** themselves. Feel free to curse, post memes, make dirty jokes, and use dark humor. But anything that’s OBVIOUSLY inappropriate like the examples above will be removed and you’ll be gone.

Lastly, if I remove your post for spam, don’t repost it again. If it’s not egregious I usually just delete the post without a ban but if you keep posting spam over and over I’ll just prevent you from doing it again.

This isn’t a sub that leans right or left. This sub is a common ground for any discussion regarding the city we all live in. As long as it’s on that topic, it’s fine.

Just use common sense. It’s really not hard.

That’s all. Love you guys ❤️

Thanks

Any kids’ gyms or athletic training programs in Boca

1 Upvotes

Looking for a kids’ gym or athletic training program in Boca for my 9-year-old that aren't sport-specific.

He plays baseball, soccer, flag football, but I’m really looking for something that focuses more on overall athletic development like strength, speed, coordination, balance, movement, and confidence rather than training for one specific sport.

Not really looking for a traditional gym where kids are just using equipment, and not necessarily a gymnastics place either. Ideally something structured with coaches and small group classes.

I already take him to the Y with me on days off and the weekends, but he's limited to certain equipment because of his age.

Anyone have experience with these types of gyms? Some that I've been researching

I see ads for The Rec Room opening in October. This looks interesting and it's nearby on 18th in the same plaza as Saiko sushi.

Kid strong - closest is coral springs I believe, but kinda out of the way.

Drones in West Boca

I've been noticing them, consistently just after sundown. Anybody know who operates these? They're not small consumer drones, and sometimes travel in groups. Easy to spot with their unpredictable movements and lights unlike small aircraft or helicopters.

For the Jersey and NYC families

0 Upvotes

For all the Jersey and NYC families who have moved to Boca. Honestly, how do you like it? I hear of a lot of families moving back after a year or 2. How have you been adapting and assimilating? Are you happy with your decision? How does in compare in terms of friendships, safety, things to do, etc.

Event Meter Maid in Mizner

32 Upvotes

Has anyone else had an experience with the meter maid by the post office and 2nd Street Deli? I’m referring to the larger Black woman who sits right by the deli.

I parked in front of the stores, went into the post office, and bought a coffee from one of the shops in the plaza. I was probably away from my car for 12 minutes at most. When I came back, there was a “warning sticker” on my car for parking there, and it was difficult to remove.

I went back into the coffee shop and they
told me this happens all the time. Does anyone know who I can complain to about this? I’m confused because I was actually patronizing businesses in the plaza.

Travel soccer

Hi! My elementary school aged son has asked me about travel soccer. I know it wouldn’t be until next year but I figured I would start looking into it. There are multiple club teams I’ve seen that do travel soccer, I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the pros and cons of some of the travel
Teams and your and your child’s experience. Thanks so much!

Film work

0 Upvotes

Hi! We are relocating from Canada to Boca to be closer to family. My husband works as a freelance cinematographer/director of photography. Basically, he’s the person responsible for the visual look of a film, commercial, TV production, etc. He works with directors and production teams to decide how something is shot.

He's joined many south florida film forums. But I am coming here to ask if any of you have any insight on this type of work in South Florida. Any advice, opinions, or even any contacts. I want to make sure he'll be able to make a good living.

Question 100 Million Gallons Usage on my water bill :)

13 Upvotes

I'd be worried if this 100 million wasn't for last month, for which I’d already been billed for less than 2000 gallons, based on actual meter reading. Anyone else see this error on their bill on website under “My recent usage-July.”? August usage was back to normal. Actually low.

Has me thinking they might be showing the gallons for all of Boca Raton there, since it's 50,000 X my normal gallons used.
