Jax gets positive press on Huff Post travel blog

I hope you see the irony in that post.

LOL.  Don't count on it.

"A city where I can get off of the ground floor" in Baltimore, no thank you. I'd rather not get shot. I'd rather live in Jax's Roosevelt Gardens. I don't give a damn if you guys think that what I said was 'dumb' just because I told the truth. 'Conservative Jacksonville' (whatever the hell that means...) is a hell of alot more stable than most liberal cities that use government help; Many of those cities DO use gov't help, do your homework, I'm not gonna do it for you.

All that the 9 o'clock left Huff Post FB crowd could talk about is how 'conservative' Jax is, but nevermind all of that total chaos and dysfunction in Baltimore...That's liberals for you....

Well on Saturday I had tacos with an ocean view, watched a surfing competition, and walked the beach on a spectacular day. Yes I had to drive (but it was an easy ride) back downtown, but I drove down one of America's best streets (Laura) and stopped a the food truck rally at the Landing, and had some more good food. I drove back to Avondale where we watched the River City Pride Parade. Walked home, cleaned up and walked to the River City Pride Festival in 5 Points. If Jacksonville isn't cool enough for some people, I don't know what else we can do. Peace

10/4!

The more some degrade our area the more they simply speak of themselves.

it can be wonderful here.It is. Relax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And in addition to the city activities there are myriad outdoor attributes,both in 'town' and just a wee bit away.

Perhaps our biggest call and challenge is to not destroy the very attributes we promote,or don't promote.

Funny how "Conservative" Avondale escaped assumed horrendous mention. Lucky us!

I'd like to haul the Huff Post folk to my west side camp and public lands complex,then a whirl wind through town and on out to Talbot. Then back to Florida Theatre.

Some truly outstanding areas are not so concerned about 'promotion'. Outsider assessments are treated with discernment. Differentiation.

Enjoy Jacksonville!

Gotta love the first comment. Had no idea if you don't live in Riverside or Murray Hill then you're literally in conservo nut job land.

Except that's not what he said:

The BEST parts of town are the liberal areas, like Riverside and Murray Hill. The suburbs are full of birther nut teahadists.

Right. "Best" here meaning the urban areas he mentioned, whereas everything else (IE the suburbs) are a wasteland of backwards conservatives. I mean, if they're conservatives they must be birther nuts, right?? That's literally what he said.

And I'm not taking sides or defending any political party, but that's just a dumb statement, not at all accurate & makes the rest of Jax look like some kind of wasteland. The guy's obviously a douche bag & has some kind of mental illness where he sees everything in black & white (Huff Post, so..yeah).

It was a douchy comment, so yeah. Calling a spade a spade here. Feel free to call me one if I make such a dumb statement.

Aside from that, Joe Flowers is actually a pretty decent guy (and he teaches at UNF).

He could be, I don't know him personally. But UNF isn't exactly the Harvard of the south though. And as far as professors anywhere go, a lot are OK, but many of them can be some of the dumbest people socially & cognitively I've ever met. My personal life requires that I meet a lot so you're just gonna have to trust me on that.

I don't necessarily agree with what Joe posted - though I think I understand what he was getting at. It's a bit rude, though. He's friends with a number of my friends and has always seemed like a nice guy.

I had some real idiots for professors at UF and UNF. I agree with you on that point.
