There’s just so much to love about life in Lakeland.

There’s a new trend making the rounds on social media — and it’s all about guilty pleasures. People are confessing the little things they “unfortunately do love.” Think: taking pickleball a little too seriously or splurging on $8 lattes from a local coffee shop. Honestly, we can’t live without them.

We asked readers what they love most. Here’s what got the most votes.

Splurging on...
...over-the-top coffee from a local cafe

Competing like a pro...
...during trivia night at the bar, or as Reader Allison F. said, “with the fam at Tea Largo’s game nights”

Planning for date night...
...at romantic restaurants or live music venues

Satisfying my sweet tooth...
...with brunch, ice cream, and all the baked goods we can handle

Snapping too many photos of...
...lakeside sunsets

Smiling too hard when...
...there’s no traffic on Highway 98

Submit your answers to keep growing this trend in Swan City.
