kellydesiree+FollowBear on the Loose in The Villages?!There’s a bear who’s basically a local celeb in The Villages right now. It’s been caught on camera roaming the Rio Grande Villas—Phyllis Tester even got a late-night video! This furry visitor has popped up at least seven times, even stopping by Lowe’s and Publix before chilling in someone’s backyard. The wildlife crew tried to catch it, but nope, the bear’s still out there. Anyone else got wild bear stories or pics? #BearSighting #TheVillages #WildlifeWatch #FloridaLife #Pets30Share
Ernest Harris+FollowGas Station Sticker Shock: Credit Card EditionHeads up if you’re filling up in Florida: some gas stations are quietly charging $1 more per gallon when you pay with a credit card. That’s totally legal—as long as they tell you, but the notice might be in tiny print at the pump, not on the big sign out front. To avoid getting stung, check the pump for price differences, use cash or debit, and try apps like GasBuddy to find the best deals nearby. Every dollar counts, especially with today’s gas prices! #GasHacks #MoneyTips #FloridaLife #CreditCardFees #SaveOnGas #Business191Share
James Brady+FollowSharks Take Over Florida Beaches—But Don’t Freak Out!Did you see that wild drone video of hundreds of sharks just chilling right off Anna Maria Island? It looks intense, but honestly, it’s just spring in Florida! The sharks are following the tarpon migration, and while they’re super visible right now, they’re always around (and attacks are super rare). The water’s perfect, the fishing’s epic, and if you’re brave enough, it’s prime time to catch a tarpon. Just maybe skip the swim if you spot a fin! #FloridaLife #SharkSeason #TarponFishing #BeachVibes #Science467Share
ywheeler+FollowBrightline: Disney Trip Game-Changer?Just tried Brightline for my Disney cruise trip and wow—total game-changer! No more battling Florida traffic; the train is fast, comfy, and you can actually chill (or work) on the way. It’s super efficient, the stations are clean, and even the basic ticket feels premium. Only hiccup? Lugging big bags on board is a workout, but honestly, I’d do it again. If you’re planning a Disney vacay or cruise, this might be your new go-to ride! #Brightline #DisneyTravel #TravelHacks #FloridaLife #TrainTravel #Transportation16715Share
