[sheclown]

Jerry Moran, owner and operator of La Cena, 211 North Laura Street, (http://www.menupix.com/jacksonville/restaurants/881254/La-Cena-Ristorante-Jacksonville-FL) read about Miss Maggie's plight on Metrojacksonville and wanted Miss Maggie to have a new refrigerator.  So, he made arrangements and the fridge was delivered yesterday to a very excited little old lady.

Jerry proudly took me around his restaurant -- he makes his own pasta -- everything looks so delicious.

Should you want to thank Jerry for helping Miss Maggie...go dine there soon!

I will be going and enjoying an excellent dinner and thanking Jerry! Jacksonvilians always impress me with their spirit and love!

Nice Community support! Thanks Jerry. I bet Miss Maggie has a few Great recipes of her own.

Jerry is a fun guy and a great story teller.  I had a wonderful time talking to him and seeing his restaurant.  He is going into his 10th year on Laura Street (next to Chamblin's) an amazing feat.

What I find entirely unsurprising is the fact that Jerry is one of the more outspoken posters concerning the scourge that loiters downtown. He is not the only one who is viewed as heartless in many discussions where he speaks honestly about what so many "homeless" people really are and do.

Others speak with a more compassionate tone, buuuuut....

Jerry is the type of person who speaks with actions. Feel good diatribes accomplish little.

Well done Mr Moran.

Yeah, considering all the obstacles the city throws at anyone brave enough to venture downtown, Moran deserves an award for being able to survive that long. Most other businesses, and most of the big corporations, have bailed for the suburbs in that time.

In fact, I had to go down there to do a document review the other day and found my "green badge of courage" stuck under my windshield wiper when I came back. I think I was overtime on the meter by maybe 2 minutes? !@#$

I call them that because that's how COJ rewards people who decide to go downtown despite all the reasons not to.

if you have a house, he'll buy you a fridge, sure.  but if you don't, he'll record your distress and lack ov dignity and post it on youtube.
