We have been coming to St. Augustine for years (from Orlando) and always parked in the lot behind the Columbia restaurant. The fee was always fair and the guy running the lot always did a great job directing people in and out. Well, we went back there about two weeks ago to see the lot had been bought out and now had hourly parking rates. First, the rates were astronomical, second we overstayed by 30 minutes and received a $75 fee in the mail. We did reach out to discuss the egregious price to which they reiterated we overstayed our time by 30 minutes and would be liable for the fee.

Safe to say, we will absolutely not be returning to this lot and I hope those reading this also know there are way better non-predatory options should you decide to enjoy St. George street.

For me, the whole situation has deterred me from even wanting to go back to one of my favorite places to make a day trip.

I just spent about 20 minutes on a dock with my net scooping trash from the river. I am depressed after seeing the bottles, caps, plastic bags, styrofoam and everything else that floats. I filled a trash bag. With the recent rain, trash on the ground flowed into the storm sewers and directly into the river. It will clog runoff areas, leech microplastics and put toxic chemicals into the jewel of Jacksonville.

You might want to look at the St Johns Riverkeeper website to learn about the challenges the river faces and how we can help.

I’ve been waiting in traffic for at least 20 minutes because the fuck ass train is stopped in San Marco. There’s no space for me to move out of my lane and take another route. What the fuck dude. I’m not even exaggerating. This shit is getting ridiculous. There’s absolutely no reason to stop all traffic to DT for this fucking long

Do we think this is a case of bullying?

Hi! I’d love to see the photos you took!!!! I bet they look awesome!!!

Hello! I am a teacher who works online 30+ hours a week (China) and full time in person. Long story short, this summer my senior chihuahua had surgery and I had to get another dryer. Today these bills came out of my account and I need more work asap as both jobs do not pay me until Wednesday.

Is anyone's child in need of tutoring services, even if it's just for a few times? Or I'm happy to be a long term placement. I'll drive to a public library of your choice or teach online. I'm familiar with online platforms and love teaching. I have taught for over 10 years.

I am certified and endorsed in Gifted, ELL, k-12 reading, k-5 elementary, 6-12 English language arts. I also teach algebra and SAT/ACT prep. One of my
Math students recently went up 8 points on her ACT after just one month of online tutoring. I teach all ages online and subjects, even Lincoln Douglas debate. If you're interested, please message me! I'm happy to teach any age group or subject in a way that brings every student joy, confidence, and engagement.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you all have a great day.

Hey all. If anyone knows a Lavalkus Kaeron Jordan, tell them he dropped his Social Security card in a bank parking lot. Have them dm me to work out a good way to pick it up.

Hey
Going to Picassos for dinner. Never been there, whats is the beat thing you tried?

Weird question but I am studying land snails and slugs and am visiting Jax for a surgery and want to know where around the area people have spotted these guys so I can go searching!

My gf has been looking for an affordable therapist (no health insurance rn). One that will actually help and not just try to throw meds at the problem. Any recommendations preferably female TYIA

Hi has anybody dealt with the Otolaryngology/ENT at UF Health? I'm having a hard time trying to get anyone on the phone. My previous ear surgeon in South Florida recommended a dr in UF Health. I'm in the process of looking for someone else.

My friends and I will be in Jax tmmr night (Friday) and are looking for recommendations - either something Latin night or gay or both. Suggestions ?

Hey there! I’m looking to see if anyone is willing to let my family borrow (or other options I don’t want this getting taken down) a formal vest and dress pants (in black) or a plain black tuxedo! We have been invited to something super last minute and don’t know what to do! I can send you my number if you’re interested in helping me out!! My son is 5’11 and he is 160 it’s normally a small or medium in men’s. I would really appreciate if anyone is willing to help a stranger out. Thank you!!!

Anyone have any recommendations or good or bad experiences with it?

Likely going to do the JaxBread one but the class is three hours right over dinner. Do they feed you, expect you to buy food in house?

Don't know if I can get through a whole class on an empty stomach.

pretty much the title! i have a lot of free time and ive never been much of a nightlife person since ive worked at insomnia as the night shifter- can anyone list off any good ways to meet new people? being 23 i feel like everyone else my age is either clubbing or drinking:p

Pretty much the title. Looking for a good stand up comedy place.

Does anyone have an extra Frog Top?
Either that I can borrow or buy?

In Jax, I don't mind driving a little either. Just looking to get a wash and set and a trim, I have layers, at a salon that doesn't flat iron after the blow dry as well

Where is a good place to watch besides the base?
I’d like to get as close as possible to see all the fun tricks. I’ve been scouring the map to find a public place by the river but they seem so far away.

Please let me know!!

Want to try something new. Which would you recommend and what should I try?
