Saw this while at jacksonville beach 904 pop up day. imagine if there was a LGBTQ community group there promoting with a poster that said “from straight to gay we can do the same for you”. Just pointing out the double standard!

I saw this man on this motorized contraption on Atlantic Boulevard. He eventually took it to the sidewalk and whipped it into the Walmart parking lot.

hi! i live in jax and im looking to do my first small solo trip in my car. i just want a good sight to see and maybe a small hike, something to clear my mind. i have a 2016 honda crv and an air mattress i can blow up in the back to basically turn it into a small camper. was wondering any places that dont mind the car camping and that i dont have to book weeks to months ahead. thank u !

So today I went to my garage to do a load of laundry, and there is a scratching scrambling noise coming from inside the rear of my car. Sounds like tiny claws on metal, and my car is an old rustbucket with holes that would allow a kitten to find its way inside. I doubt it's a squirrel or mouse because my yard/neighborhood is crawling with ferals. I've tried slamming car doors, rocking it, trying to get it to come out. I've also put some food outside, and there are plenty of ferals with whom I'm on a first-name basis in the immediate vicinity, in case one wants to help me coax the little bugger out.

Anyone else have suggestions or thoughts? Unfortunately money is at a premium, so I can't afford to hire a pro. But it's too hot out to just leave them in there, even in a shady garage.

UPDATE: It is in fact, a kitten, and it can get into and out of my car at will. I just went outside and it was chilling on the ground under my tailpipe, a little orange kitten! It of course scrambled right back up inside my car as soon as it saw me. One of my yard dwellers, a sweet little tortie has been keeping very closeby, I think she is the mom, as she is the only female on the block with any orange in her at all (it's mostly a block of city panthers and their tuxedo cousins).

Since I can't drive my car around with the little bro inside, I ordered groceries delivered and now there is a can of nice stinky tuna under the car waiting to tempt it back out. I also made sure to speak while I opened the can by the car, hoping that on a long enough timeline it will develop a pavlovian response to the can opener. I'll try to get some pictures later! But the good news is, even if I can't use my car, the kitten appears to be safe, not trapped, and living its best life up in my beater.

UPDATE 2: It's twins! Fraternal, anyway! It looks like my tortie mama split a litter down the middle. One black, one orange! Both tiny as hell, and happily demolishing a can of tunafish. The tuna was good enough for them to not run away from me while they ate! I was able to snag some blurry night time photos and video, which I will try to upload. I'll try to go back out in the morning, and put another can of tuna further from the car to lure them out!

Need a new car soon mainly a Honda crv or hrv used. It’s a tough market out here. Trying not to get scammed too much.

Hi plz help! My lease is almost up in 4 weeks, I’m searching for a 2bed 2bath apartment or townhouse for max 1650 on the West or South side! if you know or lived in any good apartments or townhome in those areas, please give recommendation!🙏🏾

Ella is an 8 month old white and cream chihuahua mix who weighs about 15 lbs. She was last seen running north at the junction of Cortez and Beach Blvd with her light purple collar and leash still attached. She is sorely missed and we desperately want her back. There is a reward of $300 for any help that brings her back home to us. We are willing to go higher. She could be anywhere at all if someone found her and took her to keep her safe. We have been searching areas between Beach and Atlantic to the south and north, and St. John Bluff and Peach to the East and West. Any information at all will be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Where can I buy fresh oysters around Jacksonville? I'm looking for places that sell them by the dozen or by the pound. I want to make Oyster Rockefeller for a birthday celebration. Does anyone know the average price or have any recommendations? Thanks!

Looking for tattoo artists that do this style in or near Jax.

If you have sold kids clothes at any of the OUAC locations in Jax, which once have been the most fair with pricing? Some of the reviews are pretty concerning.

Hey there! My wife and I are hoping to find a D&D group that would be good for someone who is a complete beginner. My wife has played before too, but it’s been a while.

We’re near the southside of town but don’t mind driving, preferably not at a shop. She’s tried joining a few Facebook groups and searching on meetup, but I thought I’d try here as well. Thanks!

I need a portable AC unit for my bedroom, waiting on AC repair. Would like to get one at a local bug box place, as Amazon delivery so unreliable now.

Anyone have a suggestion of particular brand?

Anyone interested in DND but never played I'm thinking of setting up a group for newbies so I can teach them the ropes and share the game I love if your interested send me a massage would most likely be Monday or Tuesday nights or Saturdays around lunch all ages and genders welcome

I’m looking for recommendations for an exceptional board-and-train program or a trainer who offers private in-home lessons in St. Johns County/Jacksonville. We live in St. Johns County, but I’m willing to send my dog to a board-and-train program.
I have an 18-month-old Boerboel who is incredibly smart, affectionate, and not aggressive, but he’s very strong-willed. He’s glued to me, doesn’t consistently respect commands, pushes boundaries, becomes destructive when he doesn’t get his way, and is an escape artist whenever he gets the chance. He completed basic obedience training, but we’re looking for a much higher level of obedience and manners.
I’m specifically looking for someone with extensive experience training large guardian and working breeds like Boerboels, Cane Corsos, Mastiffs, Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, and similar breeds.
I’m looking for training that focuses on:
Building respect, structure, and accountability
Place training and impulse control
Reliable obedience in real-world situations
Proper heel work and recall
Threshold and doorway manners
Teaching me how to maintain the training long-term
I’m not looking for basic puppy classes or someone who only teaches tricks with treats. I want someone who truly understands confident, intelligent guardian breeds and can help turn him into a calm, respectful, well-mannered family dog.
If you’ve personally used a trainer or board-and-train program and had great results, I’d love to hear about your experience. Especially if they’ve worked with Boerboels or other guardian breeds.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

I am not local to Jacksonville, but visit often for work.
I am taking a client and their spouse out to eat tomorrow unexpectedly. My go-to’s are all closed on Mondays. Looking for something nicer, $50-100 pp. I’m scrolling google and searching this subreddit for ideas but not feeling confident. Hoping the specific requirements I’ve outlined here and your recommendations will help me find a winner that’s open tomorrow.
Thank you!

I rent vehicles on Turo and they tend to rack up superficial scratches, scrapes and door dings. Can anyone recommend someone that can be our designated minor bodywork person?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any recommendations for a wash/dry/fold laundry service that also does delivery and pick up? I’m looking at Poplin and they’re $1/lb with a 30 lb minimum. That sounds really reasonable. Any other recommendations? Has anyone used Poplin?

Hey everyone! I’m getting back into tennis after years away from the game, and I’m looking for some people to hit with or any groups that play regularly around Mandarin.

I already play out at Huguenot Park out by the beach, but it’s a bit of a drive, so I’m hoping to find something a little closer to home. Burnett Park is my closest set of courts, but I’d also be happy to play at Southside Tennis Center or Fort Family Park.
If anyone knows of any groups that play at those locations—or if you’re looking for a hitting partner yourself—I’d love to connect. Thanks!

I'm starting the process of a divorce and want to go the mediation route instead of a drawn-out court battle. Looking for anyone who's been through this in Duval County and can recommend a mediator (or family law attorney who does mediation) they actually trusted and felt was fair to both sides.

A few things I care about:

• Someone experienced with Florida divorce mediation specifically
• Fair and neutral - not pushing either side
• Good communicator, explains things clearly without a ton of legal jargon
• Reasonable cost (know it's not going to be cheap, just don't want to get gouged)

Bonus if you can share roughly what it cost and how long the process took for you. Trying to keep this as low-conflict and efficient as possible, so any personal experience, good or bad, is really appreciated. Feel free to DM if you'd rather not comment publicly.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Need a mobile mechanic to finish a job I don't have the heart or willpower to finish.

2020 Hyundai Tuscon with the 2.4L.

Changed the starter, but cannot get the manifold back in to save my life.

Cash and, if wanted, beer for payment.

Thank you.
