This has occurred at 4 different airport TSA security checkpoints. I made an appointment and went to have the license reprinted.

I did not have it reprinted. Make sure you have a valid boarding pass and all will work fine. TSA reports this is a problem with all Florida and Colorado drivers license ids. TSA has no problem with 96% of the country, maybe Florida should get there act together and update their license.

I had to visit this office for a disabled parking permit. My experience was very good with staff…read more The wait time was about 10 minutes, and an appointment was required. My main issue was the parking area and the disabled entrance. The streets surrounding the building are all really hard to push a wheelchair or manage a scooter, they are made of a type of stone that resembles cobblestones. Very, very risky on my scooter, felt that it could easily tip over. The disabled entrance is hidden behind the landscaping, not clearly maked from the street or sidewalk. The access ramp is quite steep, again if you use a scooter or wheelchair, you should proceed very slowly so you don't fall over. Other than these two issues, the business was easily and quickly done, the gentleman I spoke with was very kind, professional, and knowledgeable. But they really need to address the accessibility of the ramp and HC parking spots.

They're your hostages and are at your mercy. Please be more mindful of your decisions. Thank you staff at Animal Services!!!

Our first instance of adopting was back in November of 2023. We adopted two kittens and quickly…read morerealized that they had pretty serious upper respiratory infections. We were told initially that it's common and that they would get over it, themselves. While we understood the financial and emotional risk of adopting from ANY shelter, we were still surprised when our two little ones became VERY ill. This would cost us about 1,300 dollars in vet bills. Thankfully, after our care and our vet's, they made a full recovery. We understand that when adopting from a shelter, there is a risk that your animals will be sick already. My partner is in vet med at UF, we get this concept. Still, when we went back for the second time to adopt, that was the deal breaker on EVER returning to this place. HORROR. We found a kitten that we were interested in, in January. The kitten had not been fixed yet so we were told we had to foster to adopt and then bring the kitten back for THEIR vet STUDENTS to perform this operation. That was fine, in the beginning. The kitten appeared fully healthy when we took it home, initially. After bringing the kitten back to the shelter, a week later, they return the kitten to us because she hadn't reached the weight of 3 pounds which was what the weight was supposed to be in order to get fixed. At this time, we were told she weighed 1.6 pounds. That was what we were told. When we initially adopted the cat, they also told us that the kitten was male. My partner disagreed with this WHILE being at the shelter and this concern was brought to the staff's attention. The woman assured us that the kitten was male and gave us the paperwork for a male, identical looking kitten. When we returned to get her fixed, they told us that it would be a spay operation. This confirmed that the kitten was female and the whole time, we had a completely different kitten's paperwork. This was a slight annoyance, but was one of the first things that raised our concerns. We return home to try to bring the kitten to her goal weight. During this time, she is playful and happy. She didn't even get sick like our other kittens had. She was fine. We were really excited that she was getting along with our other kittens and eating well. She was using the litter box with no issues. It was a relief that maybe this one would be without issues. We bring her back a week after the last visit, for the spay. They asked us to drop her off the night before because of scheduling issues. So, we drop her off on Wednesday night and are told to pick her up at 4:30 PM on Thursday. That day, my partner picks her up to find that she is still heavily sedated. She is awake, but walking very clumsily. When looking at the papers, it was stated that the surgery was performed at 3:00pm... That was just an hour and a half before my partner picked her up. This state of sedation had lasted until the following morning. Additionally, there discharge instructions stated to use the e-collar that was provided. There was NO e-collar provided. We were concerned with how long the effects were lasting, but we figured she would be ok after a few days. Two days after the surgery, she started presenting with much serious symptoms. They were similar to an upper respiratory infection along with the inability to eat and excessive drooling. We called the shelter SEVERAL TIMES over those few days and did not get a response until several days LATER. They stated that we could bring her in so that their vet could look at her, but that we were not allowed in the room while the exam was happening. Of course after ALL of this, we weren't going to leave her unattended/away from us and certainly we were not going to leave her with this shelter, again. So, we took her to our vet. It is possible that she was incubating the virus and the severe stress she underwent having to be there a full 24 hours, when the surgery was performed at 3:00pm, caused a flare-up. At the vet, they determined that she did have an upper respiratory infection, as well as strange sores in her mouth. They also told us that she only weighed 1.9 pounds. I was there and I saw the scale, myself. I was in complete shock considering this was only a few days after her surgery and the shelter stated that she weighed 3.0lbs. That is pretty convenient since she needed to be exactly 3lbs to have the surgery done... Terrible. $900+ later and about two weeks of medicating, she seemed to be recovering. Although we hadn't yet experienced her bothering the site due to not being given an e-collar, she had bitten out her internal sutures and the wound was open. $900 later at the emergency vet, she was fine. I am running out of YELP review space. They don't really care about the animals. Don't adopt from here.

Alachua County was formed in 1824 from the Timucan word meaning "sinkhole." Gainesville has been…read morethe county seat since 1854. This courthouse is located on a prime city block in downtown Gainesville, surrounded by retail and restaurants and an open square that seems to be used occasionally for music festivals or farmers markets. The structure is an Art Deco / Modern style that is four stories of concrete and glass. Because of the nearby buildings and massive trees next to it, it's challenging to get far enough away to get a proper photograph. But it's in mostly good condition considering the Florida weather. It could use a good pressure cleaning of the exterior. The marker nearby reads, "The Alachua County Commission, by authority of the Florida Legislature, selected this site for a courthouse in 1854, moving the county seat from Newnansville. The first courthouse was a frame building completed in 1856. It was demolished on the completion of a red brick courthouse in 1886. The current building, completed in 1958, and its 1962 addition, were erected in response to the continuing expansion of governmental needs in Alachua County."

There is free Wi-Fi sponsored by the city in the area. I would not suggest filing a lawsuit to go experience this courthouse, however if you got to come here it's a decent place to go.
