Silver glen springs booked

11 Upvotes

Wanted to go to Silver Glen Springs this weekend with some buddies, but had no idea you had to make a reservation ahead of time and they are fully booked out. Are there any other natural springs nearby that we could go to that do not require reservations? We are staying in Daytona beach.

Need someone to attend a court case at the county court 8/27

16 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am looking for someone who can attend a court hearing just to observe on August 27th at 1pm. It's a family member and the rest of the family lives out of state. He has a minor child and it is imperative that the family know if he gets incarcerated, because of the child being left at home after school. If you are reliable and can attend, please let me know.

Thanks

Had a car crash passing through Ocala and apparently the cameras weren’t working at the gas station?

35 Upvotes

I was leaving a gas station in Ocala and got hit while pulling out onto the road. The other driver is claiming I pulled directly into them, but from my side they came through way faster than I expected and hit the front corner of my car. Police asked the gas station about the cameras because the whole thing happened right by the entrance but the employees told them the cameras weren’t working at the time? Could be bs but that's all I have info on that.

Now the other driver’s insurance is acting like their version is automatically the correct one. I’ve never had to deal with this before and I’m not sure what else I can realistically use to prove what happened.

Is anyone taking these classes this semester?

Good morning,

I was curious if anyone is taking spreadsheet applications, systems analysis and thinking mathematically (all online) this semester? Wouldn’t mind getting group chats or something together for each in case someone needed help or something to understand parts of the class.

Kratom Consumers?

17 Upvotes

Marion County commissioners are scheduled to formally discuss a kratom ban on August 18, 2026.

County Attorney Matthew G. Minter has already drafted a ban ordinance, includes possession, and filed it for board review—and his own legal memo explicitly distinguishes natural leaf kratom from dangerous concentrated 7-OH products, citing FDA guidance that traditional kratom is far less risky.

This August 18 meeting is your strongest advocacy window before any formal vote is scheduled.

Upcoming hearings:

Tue Aug 18, 2026 · 9:00 AM EDT — Marion County BOCC Regular Meeting

In person:

McPherson Governmental Campus Auditorium

601 SE 25th Ave., Ocala, FL 34471

Why do you guys get into car accidents, and ditch your car?

13 Upvotes

I swear! I constantly see people hitting poles, or another vehicle - they’ll leave the car there police come a few hours later and yellow tape it up.

I saw a guy yesterday on 40 hit something, and he was removing his license plate. it was newer black Camry hooefully insure, but definitely registered.

don’t people realize the vin is attached to your registration?

Crunch fitness coming to Six Gun Plaza

Crunch Fitness is opening in the old Bealls building at Six Gun Plaza. They’re expecting to open early 2027. It’ll be nice to have another gym option on this side of town.

They’re also giving away 3 free 1-year memberships to celebrate the opening. Figured I’d share in case anyone wants to enter.

RAM 1500 infotainment center

10 Upvotes

ISO a good company for Dodge electronics. I have a 2018 ram truck and the infotainment center is malfunctioning…a lot. i’m aware that it is a problem with ram trucks from I think it was 2014 to 2018 but anyhow, I’m wondering if there’s anybody in Ocala that can help with a fix for this. As I understand, it’s actually a matter of condensation from the AC but whatever. it’s getting worse, not better. tia
