Bostonian here; Do you know any mobile/auto mechanics that will visit a used car dealership on my behalf to perform an inspection on a vehicle I’d like to buy?

Title explains it all basically. I found a used car I want to buy in Jacksonville. The dealer is willing to ship it to me, but I really want a mechanic to inspect it and give me the okay to purchase the car. Do you know any good, honest mechanics who would do this without charging an arm and a leg?

Best cat veterinarian or clinic in Jax? For quality of care & affordability

Just signed up for pet insurance for my cat—he’s 4 and my first pet. From my experience with vet visits, I’ve noticed that prices vary drastically between clinics. Now that I have a plan in place for him, I’m looking for a trustworthy, permanent veterinarian who provides quality care at a fair price and doesn’t inflate costs just because I have insurance.

Any recommendations? Thanks for the help!

Heavy police presence

Was anyone around university blvd yesterday around noon (1/30/25)?? There were police officers and ambulances from 95 all the way down to San Jose. Unsure if they were looking for someone or if someone important was in town. Easily saw 8 fire trucks/ emt and double the amount of officers

Jax Urbex

Im new to urbex so if you guys have any suggestions it’d be cool.

I was thinking of hitting up the yellow water nuclear storage and was wondering how often people are around and if they regularly are giving tickets or anything

To the guy who yelled at and threatened me and my dog at the Wyndham hotel on Salisbury Road

Sir, if you are reading this, I am sorry about my dog barking in the middle of the night. She woke me up too, and I was equally annoyed with her. So i understand. But I was with relatives and had to help look after their dog. Trust me, if it were up to me, the dog would've stayed home. But I had no say in the matter. That being said, we tried to control the dog and calm her down but she was suffering from severe anxiety. Please forgive us.

I know you were having an unrestful night and I am terribly sorry about that, and I can relate. However, your profanity-laden outburst and threatening words really upset her, myself and my family even more. It made us all feel less safe.

Nevertheless, we forgive you even as Christ has forgiven us. We said a prayer for you, knowing that you might be going through some hardships. I hope you find rest and healing, and that you find joy and happiness. May God bless you and your family.

Anyone aware of what is happening at Fletcher Middle School?

My friend (who's younger sibling goes to FMS) recently told me that the school had found something in the girl's locker room, and that police and k9's would be showing up at the school tomorrow. Neither me nor him have much information on the case, and we are both curious. I was just wondering if anyone on here knew anything. Thank you. :)

If anyone is interested in local advocacy for better street development, better city or local planning, or just interested in local conversation about our city urban planning...

We are having a small meet up this Saturday, February 1st, 10 A.M. at the Urban Grind coffee shop, 45 W Bay St downtown. We will be discussing about the trajectory of Jacksonville's development in 2025, alternative mobilities, safer streets, and incremental housing.

Our group is a small Jacksonville chapter of Strong Towns, a 501 org that is advocating and helping towns across America rebuilding towns and cities with better planning, better accessibilities, and transparency of local government accounting which has devastated small towns due to the Suburban experiment.

Although our chapter meets in downtown Jacksonville, and may converse on topic that may focus on planning being developed for downtown or beaches area, our group are from areas that is across whole Duval County, Clay County, Gainesville and St. Augustine.

Again, feel free to join us this weekend, and we meet here every 1st Saturday of every month, you are all welcome to stop by and share us your thoughts on how to make Jacksonville better.

P.s: I'm personally a semi-bicylist commuter. And we are also in advocacy for better, safer bicycle lanes that are more than just painted lines on the edge of the road. If you are a bicycle commuter or interested in alternative commuting, we will be diving deep into the topic this weekend as well.

Edit: Added time, it's 10 A.M. Saturday Morning

San Marco Hendricks Ave Metro Diner Area?

I found some neat property near Metro Diner on Hendricks and I was wondering if the area is safe? Is it considered San Marco? (I've been at the beaches since 83)

Anyone know if there is anything like this in the area? I have a pre-teen interested in learning and I would like to give him a taste to see if he likes it enough to continue.

Light ordinance?

Hey everyone!

I have a neighbor with a tall light pole kinda light a foot ball stadium light, it’s pointed towards my yard/house. (Pic is to show how bright it is from down my hall AND I have 8ft tall fences…) the light is probably 20ft tall

Is there any light ordinance or anything? I don’t want to irritate my neighbors by complaining, and I intend to contact them and be friendly but if that doesn’t work? Is it fair to contact the city? If so will they actually do anything about it?

Appreciate any advice, even if it’s to suck it up.

Good dirty water dog

I've been craving a dirty water dog like I used tk get up north for a while. I'm looking for some recommendations either a cart or standing restaurant. I do enjoy the people set up outside of home depots around town but they grill their dogs on flat tops. I want a nice steamed dog. Thanks!

Moving back to Jax!

I’m moving back to Jax in August after moving out in 2009. It’s been a long time since I left…any tips/suggestions/comments about the city I should know? How has the city changed (or not changed) for the better or worse since 2009? I’ll be moving back to the Eastside of town.

Looking forward to reading your comments!

I95 & I10 incident today??

Does anyone know what happened?? My daughter texted me freaking out and asking if I was okay. Apparently she saw like 8 cop cars fly by escorting paramedics and they blocked off every possible ramp they could. I figured with that much presence and commotion at least one news source would have covered it but nothing so far.
