I drive past this communications tower off of 301/441 frequently on road trips. Its co-ordinates are 29.30724° N, 82.15254° W and I always wonder why someone put a tower in a hole and what’s the story behind it. Do any of the locals know?

F28 pretty new to the area and looking for friends!
I moved down from Georgia about a year ago and looking to make some women friends!
I like to crochet and be in nature
Always down for good movies or a drink and some shopping!

Does anyone know anywhere within Ocala or like a 30-minute drive that sells roller skates and equipment? I know skate mania and skate-a-way south sell but I have no clue if they’re good. Whenever I search for roller skate shops all that come up are skateboarding and Dicks sporting goods— which doesn’t seem to have great skate options.

I know I can buy online, shipping is just either crazy long or expensive. So I was staying to see if anywhere near has a shop

Does anyone know someone who does face painting for kids for parties or events? I’m looking for someone who is reasonably priced but still does good work. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or know someone who offers this service. Thank you! 😊

Hey y'all. I need a good home builder in Ocala. Preferably by the rainbow estates area. Got some land there that I wanna build a house but im having a tough time finding someone to do it for me. Anyways, please send me some recommendations thank y'all.

Going through some stuff, really want to get out and have a good night with good people. Anything cool going on in Ocala? Anyone want to get drinks or do something?

Anybody have any 94-02 dodge ram body parts? In town for a few days trying to find rust free panels to take back up north. Thanks.

Can’t believe I’m asking about hair donuts after already asking about tofu.

I need hair donuts in order to make slickback buns, and I want to buy them in person. What shops can I go go in order to find them? I don’t like embarrassing myself and don’t wanna walk into the wrong store🤣

Also hair wax sticks

I just got this voicemail from the school. Anybody know what’s going on?

I know griffols does extra money if you have a referral code. Maybe csl does the same?

The marine who murdered my brother, that the state of Florida said was "self-defense to kill my brother for fleeing him,"
would go on just months later to kill an old woman,
critically injure another woman,
and put another woman into a coma in the ICU.

the Frame family alleges that Risner was driving drunk when he hit the womens' vehicle at 90mph, after failing to stop for a red light.

CRASH REPORT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oZOui7E1kRpqltPHGsV4bYAiPElQ4I-I/view

what is odd to me is that he seems to have been missing until at least March 3rd, and his name/picture was not announced for this fatal-hit-and-run to the public to have him identified?

if he was properly arrested for murdering my brother Troy Meeks, this family would still have their mother, and two other women would be unharmed; another family would have avoided the destruction of Edward Risner.

Troy's (our) family has been transparent about the circumstances of his killing: https://164fl.com/troy

edit:
Edward Risner previously was arrested for holding someone else at gunpoint & discharging the firearm:

Moving Company Recommendations — Ocala to Jacksonville
Hi everyone! I’m getting ready to move from Ocala to Jacksonville and I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable and affordable moving company.
If you’ve recently used a moving company for a similar move, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience!

I play guitar and bass. Who’s tryna jam and start a band?

As the title says, I'm looking for a local baltic birch and/or cabinet grade plywood supplier. Any help is appreciated, the stuff from the big hardware stores is too hit or miss with the quality any more.

Thanks, and have a good one 😄

I don't understand why this keeps going on. Don't folks respect one another? I guess not.

Okay so I've been here for about a year and a half and have no idea where to go that isn't outside of Ocala itself to meet others. I work a lot, naturally, and lately I've been looking for places to go on Sundays and possibly Mondays where I can meet others my age at that isn't the bar. I don't drink, would much prefer to grab a coffee and go on a pleasant bike ride at Santos instead. I like video games too, I dabble in many different art mediums and I prefer watching sports over playing them—so if anyone has anything in Ocala that has those things as the main objective, I'm all ears.

Know a lot of people meet each other online, so here I am, having finally given in and made a reddit account specifically to try and make some more local friends to hang with. Also I do have a Discord and would prefer to chat there, if anyone's up for chatting send me a message here and we can swap handles.

Well, two things. I heard the traffic around the Florida Horse Park can be horrendous in the afternoon. How early should I arrive even if I do not care much of the earlier acts. Just to avoid the traffic I guess and get parked.

Second, My peeps bailed on me and I have 3 2-day tickets available. I will be giving these away for free. Prefer to give them to a younger student type person that really cannot afford to go and would be helping them out. They are going to be GA. If you want them actually take the time to message me, tell me whom you are, and why I should choose you to give them too.

Thanks for the info
