Community 27M in Kendall looking to make friends

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a 27-year-old doctor who recently moved to Miami. I live in Kendall and would love to meet new people and build some friendships here.

I’m interested in pickleball, soccer, running, hiking, tennis, squash and racquetball. I also enjoy watching movies and going out, so I’d be happy to hang out or try something new together.

I’m open to meeting people from all backgrounds. If you’re also looking to make friends or know of any free local groups, feel free to comment or send me a message!

Community Best neighborhood/city for someone more "intellectual", Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami or somewhere else?

0 Upvotes

Yes, and let's refrain from any comments on how Miami lacks intellectulism. I know it's no NYC, Boston or Chicago, but it does exist here, one just has to seek it out. 🙃

I've been living in Miami for 6 years, lived 3 years in South Beach, which I did love, but hated the transient nature of it (tourists/snowbirds) so wanted something more local. So now, I have lived in Edgewater for 3 years, and while I love it, it's getting so over built, congested, and the high-rises everywhere are not my style. It truly feels like it's becoming Brickell Jr. in it's built environment and the type of people that are moving to Edgewater which I don't like at all.

I'm very active in the outdoors, like walkable neighborhoods/areas that are more human scale (meaning not as many high rises), I want to still be in a predominant Latino neighorhood, with a place that offers more cultural/intellecutal events and activities. I like areas that are vibrant meaning you see people out walking, but I don't need or want it to be too crazy with people everywhere like Brickell, downtown or Wynwood. Like I go to book stores a lot, read a lot, and like to attend literary events at places like Books & Books. I also write a lot. But also a bit of gym guy and like running outside, hanging outside, big on coffee shops and happy hours too.

41, gay, professional and work from home. So in six months, my lease is up and starting to think of other places to go to. So far I have narrowed it down to: Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami and maybe Shenandoah? Any suggestions or thoughts that would be good fits and where I can find more like-minded people like me?

Discussion Waymo vehicles are government surveillance operations disguised as taxis…

153 Upvotes

…and you can’t convince me otherwise.

They’re always driving around at all hours of the day and night with an empty backseat.

And before you say, "Oh, maybe they’re on their way to pick someone up," no, they’re not because there are always three of them within a few minutes of each other, all heading the exact same way.

I’ve literally only seen someone inside one once. At spots where everyone’s waiting for an Uber, like the airport or the brightline station, I never see Waymos picking anyone up.

I also never see police cars patrolling anywhere anymore, except outside grocery stores and crowded events.

Does anyone actually use Waymo?

Never in my life would I have thought that public education, a concept the Founding Fathers viewed as a necessity for an informed public, would be on its way out. It is absolutely disgusting and nothing but disgraceful how corrupt Donalds’ and republicans are. Please vote to fight for the kids of MDCPS. They are as deserving of an outstanding public school system as we were.

Community Looking for a local social club/community?

6 Upvotes

I have seen a lot of posts about how hard it is to make friends as an adult, and believe me I have been there too so I completely understand. I want to share something that helped me!

A while back a small group of us started getting together regularly to go to the movies. What started as a few friends hanging out turned into something bigger, a real community of people across South and Central Florida who share a love for film and just wanted people to do things with on weekends.

We go to screenings together, do a group debrief after, occasionally cosplay, plan dinner before and activities after. It started as a movie thing but honestly it’s become more of a friend group at this point. We’ve had members meet at events and become genuine friends which is rare in Miami.
Not trying to spam or self promote just genuinely think there are people here who might be looking for exactly this kind of thing and don’t know it exists.

Miami has such a great film culture and it feels underutilized.
Happy to answer any questions about how it works or what our events and meetups look like. Always open to connecting with more Miami locals who love movies!

Discussion The latest King tide

40 Upvotes

According to Brian McNoldy, U Miami's local expert, "The high tide on Tuesday morning was definitely historic. I can confidently say that it was easily the highest tide in Miami’s history that didn’t involve a hurricane." The primary reasons for this historic high tide are the October King Tide being amplified by strong NE winds that pushes ocean water toward the coast and the added water from rainfall. Be careful near the coast during the next few days.

Please adopt this kitten! I was walking my dog and heard a kitten crying from under my neighbor's car. For two days.

So I rescued her and now she needs a home. We already have 3 cats from the Cat Distribution System - cannot add another.

Who would like to adopt her and / or does anyone know someone who wants to adopt?

She is a total purrball! I'm estimating 8 weeks old.
