January came and went. Literally. We started with 80+ memories from you on your favorite Lakeland things from back in the day, to types of workouts to try in the new year, and ended with your responses to what you want covered this year. With so much planned ahead, we wanted to revisit five stories from this month as a little refresher.

1️⃣ 14 Trails to peak your interest | Your Central Florida Hiking Guide

2️⃣ Midnight Munchies | 8 places to get a late-night meal in LAL

3️⃣ Lakeland ranks as #1 city to buy a home in 2019 | For under $200K, you can call this place home

4️⃣ Put these on your iCal | 11 spring events to bookmark in Lakeland

5️⃣ Your spring 2019 class schedule | If we could go back in time...8 local college courses we wish we would have taken

Share these stories with all your LALer friends that may have been a little too busy accomplishing their New Year’s resolutions.

Some of you have been waiting for January to end. Thank you, next. So without further hesitation, we’re here to help plan your February calendar with these #MustDo events.
