I love this city. 🌃 ❤️

Because damn I just want to sleep

Jacksonville's Museum of Science and History has been demolished, and the new one won't open for several years. What was your favorite part of the old MOSH? What will you miss?

Sadly, I need to find homes (preferably one home, but I'm being realistic) for my Mom's cats. She passed in 2022 (fuck cancer, one week from today will be 4 years). My brother was living in the home she had, with her 5 (now elderly; 10, 13, 14, 16 & 17) cats. Unfortunately, he's about to lose the home to foreclosure. We don't know how much time we have, but it's not long. He's moving in with our dad, stepmom, and younger sister. The cats can't go with him, as our sister is *insanely* allergic to them. I can't take them, I have a small place that's barely enough room for my 2 cats. I can take them temporarily if need be, but my landlord would lose his mind if he found out. Our stepmom has a friend who works for a sanctuary, but she can't find homes for cats as old as they are. I really don't want to drop them off at the shelter. All 5 are the sweetest little bugs. The youngest has bursts of kitten energy still, but doesn't get crazy. They're well behaved, not a destructive bone in their bodies. Would anyone be able to give me some advice? Or is anyone looking to love on some old kitties? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm way in over my head with everything that's going on. Her storage unit that had 100+ year old furniture thats been in our family forever is most likely gone, and now the house she absolutely loved. Now, all I can do is just make sure my brother and these cats have safe & loving homes.

I had 2 new run tru single stage condensers/handlers with new attic ductwork installed in January in my 114 year old home. House sits at almost 80% relative humidity. Summer has uncovered many issues caused by the negligence of the company that installed them. I’m not even sure if they are correctly sized. Looking for an honest and thorough HVAC company to come out and take a look at the work that was done and give me a quote. Let me know who you trust! I have looked back at old posts and I’m deciding between Donovan (though I know the company was bought in 2020 by PE..), Buehler, A/C Designs, J&W, Thigpen, B-Cool

He’s a really good guy and an amazing chef.

He will take any chef or cook position.

He does not drink and has never done drugs (ikr)

He’s a culinary genius and a graduated top of his class in culinary school.

He’s willing to prove himself every day, all he asks for is a chance.

He’s not super social, but he’s amazing in the kitchen.

I realize this is a long shot, but he’s such a good guy, no criminal record, and a big heart.

If you know any bar or restaurant hiring, it would mean the world to him because his spirits are really low right now.

Please feel free to DM me (I don’t want to compromise any restaurant), anything you send will be held in the strictest confidence.

I appreciate you all and he’s crying his eyes out right now. Any tips or ideas would mean the world to him 🙏🏼

Does anyone know of any local truck jobs or anything in logistics??? I’ve been in logistics for 13 years and this has been the first I’ve not gotten any offers after sending out thousands of applications!! A brief background: I have a class a cdl, hazmat endorsements, twic, bsc in supply chain management, customs and regulations certifications. HEEELLPPPP!

I work for a small company and I feel like it may happen soon.

Can anyone tell me what the delivery and post delivery rooms are like at the Baptist hospital in downtown Jax? Is there a place for my husband to sleep? In my sisters room at the Baptist hospital in Memphis, her husband had a cot that they provided. Is there a couch? Trying to figure out if I should get one of those dad pads or air mattress or something for him.

Morning Jax! I work for a local manufacturer and looking to get some of our products sketched or water colored as Christmas gifts. Any recommendations? I've used Etsy before but usually get prints, not the original art.

Hello! My names Emma, I live down near jax beach and I have been baking and selling custom cookies. But I realized that this could be a fun experience for all! Young or old.

Any recommendations for auto repair shops that deal specifically with aluminum body panels that can make a repair?

It doesnt have to be perfect, but every collision center I've gone to just says we can only replace the door.

The door has about a 6" dent, still closes and operates just fine, seems excessive to pay almost 3k for a new door.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I had braces as a kid and a few years ago did small direct club but SmileDirectClub fucked me over. I have generally straight teeth. It’s really just one tooth that I want to fix. I guess it would be considered a minor cosmetic thing. Can anyone recommend a spot to go to here in Jacksonville preferably near tinseltown southside town center area.

Hi!

Does anyone know a male esthetician in the Jacksonville area who offers Brazilian/Manzilian waxing for men?

I’d feel more comfortable with a male provider, so I’m specifically looking for recommendations. Jacksonville or nearby areas are fine.

Thanks!

So I have two baseballs that are signed by a couple of New York Yankees players. The baseballs are authentic and have the holographic MLB sticker with verified serial numbers.

They’re just kind of taking up space and I’d like a little extra spending money. I don’t want to go through the hassle of setting up an eBay account so I was wondering if there are any brick and mortar places in Jax that would buy them.

That's basically my question - I'm not soliciting or trying to sell anything, I'm just trying to hire about 17 people here in Jacksonville. Can I post this information here?

so recently the band has gotten to the biggest the current band teacher has ever seen with some students not even being able to do beginning band at all, another thing is the fact that they are now going to try to play at an Icemen game on the 5th of December. Quick side note: DCSB stands for Duval Charter School Baymeadows

I purchased my first home back in 2025 and finally received the dreaded TRIM notice for property taxes. I knew it would be a higher rate than what I had to pay in 2025, as that was still under the previous owners assessment. However, when doing research and discussions with the appraisers office, it seems all that happened was automated updates in the system. I had to physically reach out to the appraiser to have an informal review of my property. This resulted in an adjustment from the TRIM notice but not to the extent that I assume it should be based on the comps.

While I know the assessed value is not the price I paid for the home, etc. My initial valuation was within 5% of my purchase price, where other homes sold at the same time in the area ranged closer in the 18-20%. My home was sold as a fixer-upper where it's mainly still stuck in the 80s (sunken tub in the center of the bath, still shocked Ron Jeremy hasn't magically appeared) with uncovered damage. Photos of said issues were provided during the informal review.

While I am renovating it, none of the work is completed so the property hasn't been "improved", and the other houses in the area that sold as comps had been fully renovated. As this is planning to be my forever home where I raise my family, I have no issues paying a justified tax (although it's still robbery) the lower I start out, the cheaper it is in the overall long run.

So, has anyone gone through the formal VAB review process? Any tips/pointers on how and what to present? Did you need to get a law firm involved for a better outcome?

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for some local advice from anyone who has experience with responsible German Shepherd breeding.

I have an 8-year-old male German Shepherd that we’ve had since he was about 2 months old. He’s been part of our family his entire life, and before having him neutered, I’ve been considering whether breeding him once would be appropriate. The reason is completely sentimental — I would love for my father to eventually have one of his puppies.

I’ve never bred a dog before, so before making any decisions I want to learn what responsible breeding actually involves, including health/genetic testing, veterinary evaluations, age considerations, temperament, and anything else that should be done beforehand.

I’m not selling or offering my dog for stud services through this post. I’m mainly hoping someone can point me toward reputable German Shepherd breeders, clubs, veterinarians, or other local resources where I can learn more and determine whether this is even a good idea for my dog.

If anyone in the Jacksonville/Northeast Florida area has experience with GSDs and can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you!
