A female asked me to accompany her down to Florida next weekend. What the hell does one do in Jacksonville? Mind you we're both younger folks (me being 32 and her 25).

Jacksonville is actually a pretty boring city. Plenty of people, but I never seem to find a reason to visit there when I travel around from Orlando. St. Augustine is pretty close, a nice day trip while you're there. Jax Beach is ok, but you can get the beach at St. Augustine if you go there.


Hope you have a good time, I'm sure you'll find something to do.

YOU GUYS CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!!! I've been living here in Jacksonville, FL since 1998, and let me tell you, there are times when I can actually FEEL MYSELF GETTING OLDER!!!

You see, this isn't really considered Florida, but, South East Georgia!!! Check out some of the latest stats:

*WHAT’S WRONG WITH JACKSONVILLE???

*BASED ON POLLS FROM THE LEGISLATURE IN TALLAHASEE.

Boy do I miss NYC................. If it weren't for my 15 year old daughter living here with my ex-wife, I'd get the HELL OUTTA HERE!!! Only 3 more years 'til she graduates High School, and I'm going back home!!!

'NUFF SAID

Holy Sh*T!! This is one of the most depressing messges I have ever read. Man, I bet you're counting down the days till you get outta there. I would. Dang.

sounds like a good party.......

Consider this Brothers. Downtown is usually the HEART of every City. It's where EVERYTHING'S HAPPENING, right?

But Downtown Jacksonville, is the ONLY City that I've EVER lived in, where the Downtown area is a Virtual Ghost Town!!! So what does that tell you Cats about the REST OF THE CITY???

Although it may be the Largest City in this Country, landwise, the people here have that "Small Town Mentality". It's just an over-sized version of MAYBERRY!!! The Public Transportation Systems sucks all to Hell!!! One bus every half hour to 45 minutes during the week, and every hour and a half to 2 hours during the weekend!!! And the "B.S." Subway that they have Downtown is a Complete Joke!!! They call it The Skyway, and it's nothing more than a Monorail that travels around Downtown and across the St. John's River, and that's it!!! What's worse is the fact that they actually expect you to pay to ride that thing. WHAT DO YOU CATS THINK A NEW YORKER LIKE ME DOES? I hop that Sucker like I used to hop the NYC Subways!!! F**k that S**t!!!

Notice in the stats that Jacksonville is one of the WORST Cities in the Nation to be Single in, PERIOD. That's because Jacksonville is HOOCHIE MAMA HEAVEN!!! These Chicks have some of the Worst Hair I've ever seen, and they're all WEAVED OUT!!!

Jacksonville also has one of the WORST JOB MARKETS IN THE COUNTRY, whereas 50% of all businesses are SHUT DOWN!!! You can walk around any part of town and see empty buildings, or empty offices with signs in front saying: "BUILDING FOR SALE, OR OFFICE SPACE FOR LEASE"!!! It's sad..........

Me and my ex-wife have been Divorced since 2001. Since then I haven't had a Steady Girlfriend. I have to fly back home to NYC, just to get some action. Now granted, I've had some experience with the Chicks here, but they're so BEHIND THE TIMES, I'm tired of them after the 3rd night!!!

They're wwwaaayyy behind on the Latest Music and Clothes. That's why I love JET BLUE AIRLINES SO MUCH, because I'll catch that $89 Special to JFK in NYC every other weekend to catch up on what's up!!!

The only spot to really hang out at in Jacksonville is The Jacksonville Landing, but even that gets BORING AS HELL after a while!!! So Petey Awol, if you don't mind hanging out with a bunch of Neanderthals , Jacksonville is the place for you, but remember, Florida doesn't officially begin until you get past Orlando!!! That's where people know how to have a good time and PARTY!!!
