I’m looking for a trendy/upscale-ish (but not super super fancy) place to go to for lunch!! I’m meeting with a client and would love to wow them. Anywhere between town center and San Jose area would be perfect!

What are your recommendations for restaurants.

Hey y’all an OG native of Duval but aside a few visits I haven’t dove deep in the restaurant scene in awhile but I’m coming down this weekend to visit the fam and my birthday is Sunday. So I was hoping to get some must try recommendations for restaurants. Nothing is off the table cuisine type just want a goooooooood ass meal well flavored and seasoned properly. Ok to hit the $20-$40 a person for entrees range. I appreciate anyone’s help and suggestions!

What song do you associate with the great city of Jacksonville?

For me, it is “that smell” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. As soon as you can smell the coffee from Maxwell house, you know you have returned home

Mother in law lost my dog at the gate of JTB apartments. He ran north on AC Skinner. Could be somewhere on Southside. If you see anything please message me. Thank you.

Airsoft Activity

Alright, so if your looking for something to do and perhaps you want something close to $100 to spend on a Saturday or Sunday, Then I suggest trying out a airsoft field, great staff at both fields, both the outdoor and indoor.

Battalion (indoor) has a shop, cafe, game room, and the arena! For around $75, you get entry, Airsoft Gun, mask, and a vest (renting) It’s mostly centered towards Close-quarters engagements

Barracks is an outdoor field with about 10 acres, Amazing staff team, and a shipping container turned into a small shop, entry is $35-$45 depending on the day, and renting is about $20.

Airsoft is a team-based sport similar to paintball, but less painful and less messy for cleaning up. Most you’ll get are some small hits from the BBs which will sting for a minute or Two at the most.

Personally for your first time at a airsoft field I recommend battalion, but if you wanna take a leap and prefer the outdoors, barracks is a great field.

If you wanna ask me any questions about the fields I’d be glad to answer!

Favorite kayaking spots

I'm getting back into kayaking and am curious what some of your favorite places to put in are? Looking for relatively local, within about a 45min -1hr drive tops. I'm very familiar with the lower Suwannee and SantaFe rivers as well as most places close to Ocala.

Why does everyone drag Downtown Jax?

Visited for 3 days or so, and it wasn’t that bad as many Reddit threads make it seem. But maybe I’m ignorant as a visitor… enlighten me on the latest? If you may.

Any good rental management companies in Jax?

Does anyone know of any rental management companies in Jacksonville that you had good experience with? I’m trying to rent my place out (first time) and I don’t rly know what I’m doing if I’m being honest with you. I get a lot of traction with it on Zillow with people inquiring, but I respond back to their message saying we can schedule a tour and I get ghosted. It’s like Tinder lol

What, if anything, can I do with a picture of a car in front of me that tossed trash on the street?

Was at a stop light on Southside Blvd right near the Chick fil a in front of the Avenues Mall when this young lady threw a plastic cup and other debris from her car out onto the road. I snapped a picture of her car with the license plate and the trash next to her car. What can I do? If possible I'd like her to get a ticket for this bs.

I am now the pope of Jacksonville because of the patience I have shown for men from here

A man riding passenger seat in his woman's car while wearing camo pajama pants watched me, a woman, stand outside in the cold last night waiting my turn for the air pump at Wawa on Blanding. He was throwing his arms around and made her whip in before me and cut me in line, cussed at the woman handing me the hose before him (even though it was my turn), and then tried to tell me how to air up a tire "because I see your Illinois license plate" and he was "just trying to help". I didn't stab him. I am now the pope. Thank you for your time and I humbly accept my appointment.

PSA: 99% of Illinois is farmland, we know how to air up tires, and your camo pajama pants are stolen deer hunter valor. fuck you random Jacksonville man you're a bum and disrespectful to women. I hope your woman sees this and leaves you and takes everything but your camo pajama pants.

dog on roosevelt

if you own a white poodle mix? (not sure it just had curly hair), w a pink collar, your dog is running up and down roosevelt near fscj in 50+ mph traffic!! please be on the lookout if you drive down this way, and if you are the owner please secure your dog. it would be a sad sight for it to get hurt especially with how people drive.

Apartment/studio South Jacksonville

Hi all! I am looking for a small studio or 1 bedroom apartment for my grandma in South Jacksonville. I was thinking Mandarin or Bartram area. It would have to be a bottom floor, one level apartment. I want her in a safe area where she would be comfortable and maybe meet other people her age. She's 84. Please let me know if you have any recommendations. Thanks!

Budget preferably under $1200.

Looking for places or people to hang out with here? :/

I've lived here all my life and im pretty convinced there isn't much all to do in Jax specifically, especially since I'm an introverted 20 yo black woman and literally everything caters to either drinking adults or children. I don't really have any friends here because most of the people i encounter are- very much not my people haha. So I've come here in hopes ill find places i can hang out and maybe even find a romantic partner?

Im really looking for anything to do that's maybe not too expensive, since it'll probably end up doing a regular thing lol. Im really huge into the furry fandom and really any anime or pop culture things even though i don't really watch anime anymore i know it's my best road for making any friends.

Im not too huge on music since im kinda quiet and i keep to myself most of the time and can't talk very loud in places of the like, but ill compromise if it's a bar or something. Most of the music i like anyhow is pretty niche and 9/10 Jax doesn't cater to it 😂. I actually really want to find people who are into Alt fashion maybe, since i tend to dress in that a lot.

I am also really big on Intelligence and debate whether its political or not. I really want to find more like-minded people who value intelligence and learning or analyzing things.

Little things about me you could probably take note of: • I really actually like to read more than anything, i read romance and manga and Xenofiction and spend a lot of my time in bookstores or on kindle. Id really love to find some people who maybe read similar things, especially if they're of the opposite gender because i know a lot of guys hate reading 🤣 I am also a digital and traditional artist with a degree in animation.

•I don't approach anyone much at all. I said before that i keep to myself and that's very true. I am a quiet introvert and leaving the house outside of going to work is already kinda a huge deal for me lol. I prefer being approached myself or maybe just being in a situation where i don't feel the need to close myself off. Another reason i don't really do well at concerts or places with loud music.

• Being a furry i already go to most of the cons that happen here and i love photography. Cons have never been a great place for me to make friends since it's like highschool but with a bunch of people who are more likely to share your interests. Everyone's all in their friend groups and 9/10 if you tried just including yourself you'll get ignored fast. Especially as a furry. I know there is an official Jax Furs telegram but you can get overlooked in a huge chat very fast.

Places I've been to or heard of: •Happy Medium Book cafe (may join their book club) •Underbelly (haven't been, not sure if i should go there alone either) •Wasabicon, Collectivecon •Nakama Anime Bar (I've been once, i might go back on a busier day) •Orange Park and Avenues Mall • Five points (not much to do that appeals to me yet other than the parks :v) •Memorial Park •Jackrabbits (My ex got jumped here so IDK if i wanna go there 🤣😭) •Park and King (haven't really explored it yet but I've been)

Floodable, storm /huracane affected areas maps?

Hi... I'm moving to JAX in a few months and I'm looking for a place to rent. Is there any map to see the floodable areas o most storms affected zones? We don't have those problems where I came from so I'm a little bit worried about that.

Thank you!!

Fun stuff to do in Jacksonville these days?

I grew up in Jax, but went traveling for 4 years and now I’m living full time in another country. I’m going home to visit parents and just curious what fun stuff there is to do now? I want to basically rediscover the city for the few weeks I’ll be back.

Are the beach bars still fun? Riverside? Has town center added new stores or a nightclub again? lol any new and amazing restaurants to check out? How is the development of downtown going? Whatever happened to the area where the landing was?

I’ve missed a lot haha.

We’re moving into town soon and I need a fridge. These guys have the one I want but I wanted to get feedback from the community.

Have you dealt with them? Are they honest? Do they honor their warranties?
