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

Boca Pickle Fest was a Letdown

Post image
60 Upvotes

Posting to try and save you internet strangers some money and effort - don’t go to the Battle Bros pickle festival in Boca today unless you love AI “art” on everything and don’t care much for pickles.

Event was promoted as a pickle palooza but it was a sad field with no pickle decor (besides some dollar store pickle blow ups hanging from the registration tent) and like only 2 pickle specific booths.

Of all the food trucks, only 2 had pickle themed items (and only a dish or two, not a full pickle menu).

Everything else was your basic vendor booth mix of 3d printed things, accessories with AI prompts all over them, and some MLMs.

So basically, only go if you want to pay $15 admission plus $5 parking for a basic farmer’s market vendor setup.

Sad we’ve got such false advertisement on a Boca event!

Question Recommendation of restaurants near the Boca mall area

My husband and I are taking our young kids to Boca in a few months to see my father in law. We are staying near the Boca mall. We want to go out to dinner without the kids but be close to where we are staying so that in case of an issue we can come back quickly. Any recommendations for a good restaurant in that area?

Torn between Boca and Delray.

14 Upvotes

Looking to get some advice, moving down to Florida with my family and torn between Boca or Delray (realize this sub may be biased but still value the input).

My wife and 2 daughters (aged 9 & 4) are looking to make the move back to South Florida (we lived in Naples for 5 years when we first married) from Boston. Wife wants to live closer to her parents who are not in the best health and I have a great transfer opportunity in Miami with my current employer.

Currently make between $180-225k a year depending on performance, income would remain the same in Florida and trend up with time. We would be selling our fully paid off house here and walk away with around $1MM to put towards a single family home. A few questions we have:

  1. Schooling, how do the public schools compare between the two towns?
  2. Culture/activities, which has more activities going on?
  3. Safety, in general, which town has better safety records?
  4. Housing, which has a wider variety of options?
  5. Commuting, I would have to go into Miami once or twice a week, how is the commute?
  6. Affordability, which town in general in more affordable?
  7. People. One of the things we disliked about Naples were the generally older & snootier population, which area is more laid back in general?

We will be making a few trips before moving to research, just interested in folks opinions here. Appreciate your time.

Question Looking for Boca Fashion Intel

1 Upvotes

Hi ladies! I (47F)will be visiting the area in early November, with my husband who will be traveling for business. I am looking for guidance on what to wear - what the vibe is and what is seasonally appropriate.

Is Boca preppy or casual or trendy? What is appropriate for the season in early November?

I will be attending at least one dinner - with one other couple - and possibly an event that is a larger group for cocktails/apps but at most I think this dress code would be business attire

Any suggestions you have (bonus if you can drop some inspo pics!) would be amazing!

Thanks in advance! 🩷

Smaller Budget Interior Designer

1 Upvotes

I'm going to do some renovations to my recently bought house. I know size of budget is relative but I have heard of some very large budgets. Our budget is 75K all in max. This budget is not for buying stuff around the house this is for the actual renovation but use the interior designer to support with choosing flooring, vanity, paint color, etc. Is there is a minimum? How much should I expect to pay? Any recommendations?

Question Connections

Has anyone dealt with getting hate symbols removed around Boca?

There are hate symbols painted all over East Boca, and I’ve called the police five times, but nothing has been done to get them removed or covered up.

I’m frustrated that these are still out in the open in our community. Does anyone have contacts with the City of Boca Raton, code enforcement, public works, or local officials who could help get this addressed?

I’m looking for actual contacts or suggestions on how to escalate this and get the symbols removed. Any help would be appreciated.

Question Looking for a hairstylist for a simple trim in Palm Beach County

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for a good hairstylist anywhere around Boca, Delray, Boynton, Lake Worth, Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, or Jupiter.

I’m a guy growing my hair out well past waist length with the goal of eventually donating it while still keeping my hair long afterward. It’s currently around shoulder length, very thick/dense, and naturally wavy (around 2B). I’ll probably be ready for a trim sometime in November.

I’m a little shy about going to a salon since I’ve never really had long hair before, so I’m hoping to find someone friendly and easygoing. I don’t need a specialized curly cut or anything complicated — just a simple perimeter trim to clean up and even out the ends while keeping as much length and fullness as possible.

I’m specifically trying to avoid layers, thinning shears, texturizing, or debulking. Basically, I’m looking for someone who’s comfortable working with very thick, longer hair and will genuinely respect “just the ends.”

Ideally I’d like to stay around $75 or less, and I’d prefer an independent/local stylist over a big chain.

If anyone has a stylist they trust, I’d really appreciate recommendations. Thank you! ❤️

Anyone locally have access to a handheld XRF spectrometer?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Throwing a bit of a weird, niche request out into the community to see if anyone can help me satisfy a persistent curiosity.

I have a large ceramic vase I need a quick scan on. Because of its size and weight, it is completely immovable from my home. I am NOT looking for a commercial appraisal, official authentication, or anything for resale purposes.

I’m just hoping to find a local graduate student, an environmental scientist, or a hobbyist/metallurgist who has access to a handheld portable XRF analyzer (running in a Geochem/Soil/Mining mode) who might be willing to swing by and take a few non-destructive scans of the glaze and raw clay.

I’d be happy to pay you for your time, thanks so much!
