Tomorrow kicks off a whole new year of LALtoday headlines. In 2018, we covered everything from #TBT to how the swans got here to five strange FL laws. So, what’s next for 2019?

We asked you to peer into your crystal ball and predict future local headlines you think you’ll read in LALtoday in 2019. Here are a few of our favorite predictions for Lakeland in 2019, submitted by you:

🔮 “An express train stop in north Lakeland from Tampa to Orlando.” -Neal P.

🔮 “There will be an announcement of a 3500+ soccer stadium/complex” @snij_jon540

🔮 “First AI robotic swan released on Lake Mirror!” -Robert C.

🔮 “Lakeland’s first Cat Cafe” -Emily F.

🔮 “a vegan restaurant will open” @carlycashman3

🔮 “A Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s!” -Melanie C.

🔮 “Lakelanders are rating the nation’s highest in compassion and caring for others in national study.” @cspiracy13

🔮 “We will get a train stop between Tampa, Orlando, and Lakeland” @NegativeLight

🔮 “New entertainment like a mystery dinner theater would be great!” @may_june_geminis

In an online poll included in our initial #Asked newsletter, we asked you which of our team’s predictions you thought could actually be real, local headlines for 2019:

50% of you voted that “LAL announces new direct flights to LAX” is the headline most-likely to be found in your inbox at 6 a.m. sometime in the coming year.

We really hope 50% of you have mind-reading capabilities.

Happy New Year’s Eve, LAL. Be safe and have fun tonight. 🍾
