What's the best way to enjoy Jacksonville as new person moving to the area?...

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!!!

I bet from the First Coast News video link that the figures showing which employees would take over the Bookmine compared to the 31 total employees must have ticked off the other workers who aren't getting a slice of the bookstore pie. In that October 6th interview, Ron says he is only considering a handpicked group of 10 to 15 long-term workers for a minority 30 percent trust stake.

But look at how the story changes just five days later in the October 11th What Now report, which suddenly claims the transition goes to approximately 30 employees just to make it look like a fair collective.

The real kicker is the legal layout of the commercial real estate. Ron is moving his five commercial properties into a completely separate real estate trust, meaning the bookstore trust will be locked into paying monthly commercial rent out of its profits straight into Ron's pocket just to use his buildings.

These properties include the Downtown store on Laura St and the Roosevelt Blvd flagship setup, which actually spans multiple parcels including the main Roosevelt store, the old kindergarten building on Walter Ave, and the dirt lot on Lakeside Dr under Chamblin Bookmine LLC.

Let’s also not forget the 2050 Forest St address in Jacksonville, Florida. If you look at the county property appraiser website under Ron Chamblin's name with his Laura St mailing address, it explicitly locks down 2050 Forest St under the Official Record Book. This is the warehouse he uses to keep a massive amount of high-value overstock and special books hidden from public view.

The chosen workers are running a debt-free cash machine just to pay commercial rent right back to their landlord while Ron cuts his week down to three days and takes vacation time.

If you don't believe me, watch the video timestamps and read the article paragraphs to look for yourself.

My friend, she has to find another place to live. I don’t know if this breaks the rules or not. Please let me know if this is not allowed. She can only pay 1300.00 or less. This is serious. Please be kind.

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!

The new 2nd & Charles is taking over the 21,000-square-foot space right by the AMC theater at the Orange Park Mall (1910 Wells Road, Orange Park, Florida 32073).

Since they are owned by Books-A-Million, which has been in business since 1917, they have plenty of corporate backing and capital behind them.

This gives everyone on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida, and Clay County a massive spot to buy, sell, and trade used books, vinyl, and media without having to fight traffic all the way out to the Town Center location (4972 Town Center Pkwy, Suite 100, Jacksonville, Florida 32246 | 904-642-1342.

Anything fun, scary, haunted around here?

I’ve been making some music recently and I think it would be better if I was with people and not by myself. I sing and play keyboard and ukulele. How would I go about forming a band? I want to do sort of alternative rock/ indie music. With women in their early 20’s. Comment if interested!!!

Wtf is this?????

Has anyone had a good experience with empire today engineered hardwood flooring in Jacksonville or just the company in general? If you went with them, how have your floors held up?

Hey everyone! I'm a 30-year-old woman in Jax looking to make some new friends!

I'm pretty outgoing, laid-back, and love a good conversation. Between working full-time and everyday responsibilities, I've realized I need to get out more and enjoy a social life outside of work and home. 😂

I enjoy going out to eat, shopping, getting my nails done, trying new places, or just hanging out and having a good laugh. I'm also perfectly fine with a chill day doing absolutely nothing!

I'm open to making a close friend or two or even finding a group of girlfriends. I'm just looking for genuine friendships, good vibes, and people who actually want to make plans instead of just talking about them. Lol.

If you're in Jax and looking for the same thing, feel free to reach out! 😊

I’m currently on the hunt for NeeDoh. Anyone seen any recently and if so where?

Which local democrats endorsed Nixon? Clearly local dems have qualms with Nixon being a Socialist/ Democratic Socialist/ DSA.

I think it’s a disgrace that the democratic mayor of Jacksonville refuses to endorse the democratic nominee for the US Senate.

Deegan’s Kamala Harris endorsement shows that she will endorse in federal elections. What changed? Is Deegan jealous of Nixon?

Are there any good shops to sell clothes in this area? I have a lot of clothes I’m looking to get rid of!

Preferably a shop but open to mobile mechanics.

(I’m looking for my sister not to be taken advantage of)
