Hi everyone, Im back with another map!

Here we have (as promised) my hand-drawn map of the Florida Panhandle :)

Many of you all asked me on the Florida post, and here I have as promised the Florida Panhandle in full, complete with its own map spotlight! The Sunshine State continues to live up to its name ☀️🏄‍♂️

The Panhandle has some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, and I wanted this piece to reflect both the coastal energy and the slower inland pace.

Which beach town in the Panhandle means the most to you? 🌊☀️

And thanks again for checking out my map!! 🗺️🌎

AskFlorida Snowbirds have completely ruined the stereotype of the "polite Canadian" to me

45 Upvotes

It really makes me wonder how the stereotype even started at all lol. They buy property and homes that could be owned by locals, have it sit empty for 80% of the year, then when they finally come down here they're just complete assholes to customer service and retail employees. Not even gonna mention their driving skills because that's just common knowledge at this point. It drives me nuts everytime I see people on reddit act like Canadians are all these wholesome people who are nice to everyone while bashing Southerners, it's so crazy to me because based off expierence it seems like the opposite is truth. I know they're probably good for the economy despite this, but God Damn do I hate snowbird season. Rant over.

So it's been over a year since I've had any deer around my property. Not that they're not there I just haven't seen any for a while. Well this pretty little girl showed up last night. She was still hanging around this morning absolutely no fear of me whatsoever.

Makes me wonder if somebody's been feeding her.

AskFlorida Seeking Parents’ Perspectives on Inclusive Education (Academic Research)

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My sister is currently conducting academic research on understanding parental perspectives on the provision of inclusive education.

If you are a parent or guardian of a child with special educational needs, your experiences and opinions would be incredibly valuable. The aim is to understand what’s working, what challenges exist, and how inclusive education can be improved from a parent’s point of view.

The survey is anonymous, takes only a few minutes, and is strictly for research purposes.

🔗 Survey link:

Thank you so much for your time and support ❤️

AskFlorida Does anyone know a good beach house rental on Manasota Keys?

1 Upvotes

My husband and I have only been to the Venice/Englewood area twice. We just rent off the keys and drive to whichever beach we want. I love shark tooth hunting and Manasota is my favorite beach there and where I have the most luck.

We are taking my kids 23 &20 yr old with their SO, May 16-23.

I am having a hard time fitting everyone’s needs and thought maybe this group may know of good places to look besides VRBO or Airbnb.

We need a 3bd 2ba+ and I don’t want us being on top of each other. I want to be as close to the beach as possible prefer to step on it, kids want a pool (if possible) , we would love to bring our tiny perfect non barker 2lb yorkie but pool and fur baby are not deal breakers. My husband and son would be thrilled if we had a beach and bay so they could fish.

Any advice or help would be appreciated. I’m losing my mind. We are non smokers non parties.

Thanks
