If you decide to visit...
by macgregor13
If you decide to visit Jacksonville, it would behoove you to vist the historic downtown area; filled with historic sites and fine restaurants, scenic waterfront parks and shops, you would able to relax and enjoy yourself and the Florida sunshine, providing it does not storm of course! I rememember that twenty years ago you could go dune riding on the sandy slopes of inland Jacksonville, but sad to say this is no longer true, due to population induced growth and commerce, most of the uninhabited lands are occupied by malls and office buildings. When I am away from Jacksonville, I miss the many activities this town affords one to do; so many malls, shops, movie theaters, and outdoor activities here.

Ladies night!
by MsErica about Bistro AIX
Try and sit in the Onyx room if possible. It has a much more chic atmosphere than the main dining room. The main room is much darker and decorated more to suit the older crowd. The Onyx room has nice lighting and the wine and bar area makes for a nice backdrop. Great place to take a date or dinner before ladies night out. Start with the Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Salad with mixed greens, tossed in a fig balsamic vinaigrette. Main course Steak Frites bistro “Onglet” steak with french fries & a red wine shallot sauce. End with one of their many desserts or a dessert martini.
The only way to tell somebody...
by Sexybear
The only way to tell somebody of an activity is to tell them if they enjoy something they
will find it here. The city, ocean, and country offer it all. If you enjoy city lights the bridges at night are gorgous. Hunting, fishing, camping, you will find it !!
St. John's River
by leftwich
"Manatee"
If you are interested in the Manatee, see cow, then the St. John's river in Jacksonville is the place to see them. They are present nearly every day in the river area around Doctor's Inlet in Orange Park. They are amazing to see. They like to travel along the docks and eat the algae off the ropes that hold up the crab traps. Yesterday, we saw 3 of them. They come within a few inches of you, it is amazing. Kids love it.
