Does anywhere in town still have pumpkins?

I’m a jackass, I had a brief ill fated thought in the past few days to carve a pumpkin with my gf. Forgot about it until today, and started calling around this morning.

Does anywhere in the area still have pumpkins?

Thanks for the responses, I feel like the best option is to remember next year to not wait to buy the pumpkins on Halloween lol

What is the Rock/Punk music scene like around here?

I've went to the bridge show once...Completely dead.

I want to really start going to concerts or shows to branch out and start making more music, but I've had lots of trouble finding the darker music scenes like punk, metal, and heavy rock shows

If anyone is involved in this scene, please let me know the best sources for these kind of things. I'd also like to know what is the scene like in Northern FL in general, like cities or towns within 200 miles from here.

Thanks in advance <3

EV charger install

For those of you who have had an EV charger installed in their house, how much did you have to pay for the 50 amp plug install? What electrician did you choose? I just got a quote that shocked me at how expensive it was lol. Might have to shop around a bit.

Are there any bars that show hockey games in Jacksonville? Newer to Jax but a fan of cold steel on ice.

Any good mobile pet groomers around the beach blvd x southside blvd area?

My dog has a hard time letting me cut her nails and they are getting longer than I’d like. She doesn’t do well with other animals at all so taking her to a pet salon/groomer is not an option. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Septic Sewer Woes

long story short, our septic tank is failing. it should have not passed inspection to begin with when we bought our house in 2019 but of course it slid through. it is partially under the house, they built an addition over it. our quotes have been ranging from 18K low end to 25K for a new system, which we need. but also there is the septic phaseout program going on, with Lakeshore (our hood) #16 on the list so that could be a good decade before it ever happens but it's painful to think about dropping 20K and then having them abandon the system suddenly.

we found out today that the properties on the other side of the street are on sewer but jea did not "t off" to our side, not sure if that is the correct terminology and we are waiting on clarification from jea.

has anybody moved from septic to sewer in a similar predicament? (sewer main on street but no connection to property) is there any kind of legal recourse for an inspection oversight in Florida 5 years down the line? we have also heard from some plumbers it could be considered a health hazard and health dept could step in.

Good spots to practice motorcycle riding near Murray hill area ?

Hi folks,

First I am aware of how dangerous riding is and I have already taken my basics course but that’s always on a loaner bike.

I’m looking to for a place I can practice on my own bike while I gain skill and confidence. I am looking for suggestions on places nearby I can go practice without pissing off neighbors. I’m close to powers park and I already know I can’t do the route I did today regularly without annoying my neighbors and I’m not someone who likes to make things harder or less enjoyable for others. If anyone has suggestions on places I can work on my riding that would be appreciated.

Where can I go to drop off my ballot on the northside?

I'm still not familiar with this area and am not sure if I drop it in the regular mail or if I have to go somewhere. If anyone could guide me in the right direction on the northside I'd appreciate it.

Holistic/Organic Markets?

Does anyone have recommendations for natural food markets in Jax? I'd like to find a place to get teas, herbal supplements, vegan ingredients, and organic produce. Also! If there is any specific apothecary-type place y'all love, please let me know! (Not midnight sun; that place is an overpriced mess)

Thanks in advance!

Halloween evening events

I’m planning on going out tomorrow night with my bestfriend but we are trying to figure out what nightclub/lounge to go to. Any costume parties? Karaoke? We are into the pop/r&b/hip hop scene. Does anyone know of any suggestions?

Camera shops

Does anyone know of any local shops that rent a video camera or a go-pro for a weekend? I have a mirrorless camera so don't need one for taking pictures, but would like a good quality go-pro to take potential timelapses/videos. Cheers!
