The year of the Dragon — aka 2024 — is upon us, and while it isn’t technically one of the animals on the list, in Lakeland it’s also always the year of the swan.

Every year brings a whole new slew of reasons to have Swan City pride. Who knows what new restaurant might open, what skyline changes we might see downtown, or what Lakeland love letters Orange Blossom Poems might write? One thing is certain: We want to write about what matters to you the most.

That’s why we’re polling the crowd for questions you want answered in 2024 — any piece of Lakeland life you’ve always wanted to read into with your morning cup of coffee in hand. Want to know where to get the best breakfast bagel? The oldest businesses in Polk?

Submit your question to influence the stories you’ll read next year. It’s our resolution to answer 24 of them.
