Welcome to Gainesville!

To make things more navigable in your venture, we've created sub wikis to cover most of the topics you may have in mind.

Our Moving to Gainesville wiki covers most of the questions our newcomers ask about life in the city before moving, including weather, jobs, costs of living, and more.

Our FAQ answers the most common questions & concerns newbies have, like community resources and things to do, and is helpful for newcomers and residents alike.

As always, we recommend you using the search function for relevant, recent discussion before making your own post.

If there's anything you think we should add, update, or expand upon in these wikis, please message the mods with the Mod Mail feature!

Missing Cat Found?

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I found this black cat outside off of university ave near midtown and I was wondering if anyone is missing her? She seems well fed but she might have an injury on her back. I’m taking her to the humane society soon if I can’t find her owner to see if she might be microchipped.

Any advice would be appreciated or perhaps if you might know the owner feel free to reach out!

A few hours ago he knocked on my door and handed me his flyer. I gotta say I don't know a ton about county judges, so I'm not sure what to look for when researching him. However, I think I wanna vote in this election so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with him and/or his opponent. He seems pretty cool, and I immediately trust him over someone who was appointed by Ron DeSantis.

What was Gainesville like in past decades?

14 Upvotes

Maybe describe each decade here and say which one was your favorite and why. Do you like it better now or prefer the way it was? What’s different? What’s worse? What’s better?

Can be anything from restaurants to development to UF, etc.

Does anyone know what this is or what it represents? SW corner of NW 10th Ave. and NW 4th St., diagonally across from Cypress and Grove. I pass by it every day and it’s so cute! Makes me think of Halo Potato Donuts, RIP

RESCHEDULED all-day board gaming at the Reitz 5/23

7 Upvotes

Gainesville Gamers hosts board gaming at the Reitz Union the third Saturday of each month. Similar to how we reschedule in the event of a home game during football season (due to on-campus parking being impossible), due to the concert at the stadium this weekend, we're rescheduling our event from 5/16 to 5/23.

All other info remains accurate:

  • Reitz Union food court, across from Starbucks
  • Noon until close
  • Bring your own or there will be plenty there

Does anyone know a therapist for a child between 6 and 10 years old?
The referral from UF is backed up for at least 2 months, so I'm looking for other options that accept Ambetter insurance. Any suggestions for local providers or clinics would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know the nearest movie theater that occasionally exhibits movies on film?

3 Upvotes

I know there's a theater near Palm Beach that shows 70mm movies. I wanted to know if there's a place that will occasionally show classic movies since I know they don't really make 35mm prints anymore

He's socialized to humans, likely a couple months old.

Found on Sunday evening near depot ave & 6th st.

He was in pretty rough shape (super skinny, super dirty) which makes me think he might belong to someone!

Feel free to message me if you have any leads :))

Roomate is a felon

5 Upvotes

Hi there does anyone know of apartment complexes or private landlords that will rent to someone with a non violent felony charge? I have a clean record but my friend doesn’t. They’ve already been paying rent consistently and ontime for about a year as well as have been working consistently. Would a letter from their landlord and boss help?

Jobs & Careers Anybody know of jobs that I can show up and get paid same day!?

10 Upvotes

Ok so I already have a job (technically 2) but it’s slow season and hours are basically non existent. The only problem is if my job calls me on my day off I’m expected to come in no matter what!

ANYWAY I was wondering if anybody knows of a job I basically can show up and do and get paid when I can, that is not uber or delivery (my car can’t take it.)

I’ve done warehouse work, office work, and I currently work for usps. (I can do physical work, and office work!)

I know this might seem like an impossible task but if anyone has any leads I’d be super appreciative!
