Come down to St Augustine. It is a great town. Lots to do and some great food and drink. Awesome beach which is where I am this evening.

Prayers sent.

I have an irrational hate for that city for some reason.

Nobody worth a damn lives in Jacksonville. You should move.

So basically, you have no idea what's going on in Jacksonville.

I live close to Jacksonville. most people live in fernindidna beach or st Augustine.

I actually don't like st Augustine. The beaches absolutely suck and its a tourist city through and through. I will say though, I drove through Flaglers campus recently and they have volleyball in the main courtyard and i saw two OT 9.9s playing and I regretted not going there for college.

Honestly, when I go to Jacksonville, I'm going to the st johns center. Lots of resturants and shopping. Pretty nice.

Look bro don't go to town center. If you want to go out to the beaches then Atlantic is good. Jax beach is trashy as hell but if you like Nascar and whores you will probably like it. They did just get a world of beer so that's cool.

If you are into hipsters and shite then riverside is oK. A few bars and restaurants but it still needs to be developed a little more.

San Marco is cool but mostly residential. A few bars and restaurants and the theater is a nice experience.

MOSH is fun for cosmic concerts As well.

Basically, avoid downtown as it looks like the walking dead on the weekends. Everywhere else is a subdivision with a few bars.

If you don't choose the beach area, clay county is where it's at. Middleburg has great homes for a cheap prices. Relatively no crime and about as country as you can get. Do not live around in the region from base to downtown. Horrible areas with high crime rates.

There are plenty of things to do: St. Augustine is loaded with activities, the air show is this weekend, jags games are fun. And you live close to Valdosta, Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, savannah, etc

I live there. Been there for over a year now. 3rd fastest growing community in the US. Neighborhoods are going up fast. 3 Waterpark now and 7 mins to the beach. Love it. I got in at a good time. We are finally getting some restaurants now.

Do you have kids? Where do you work? I live in St. John's county because of the great schools, but work in downtown. Gives me about an hour commute home everyday.
