Hi, Metro Jacksonville!
I have been reading articles and forum discussions on Metro Jacksonville for years, and have decided to join to be apart of the discussions that pertain to my city. I was born and raised in Jacksonville, and I live in Riverside with my husband. My dad's side of the family has been in the North Florida area since the time of the Civil War. I love Jacksonville and am proud to be a native.
I currently work at Family Support Services as an Adoption Recruitment Specialist, working with children in foster care who are available for adoption. I'm also involved with The District Church, a new church plant that meets in the Riverside House (Junior League building), and was planted by Pastor Boyd Bettis. I love supporting local businesses and endeavors in our area, and I want to become more informed and involved in local legislation/local government.
Excited to be here!
Welcome to the site Peggy! Looking forward to your opinions on topics, the more the merrier.

Good to see you here Peggy. Welcome!! :D
Welcome Aboard. Would you like to kayak Downtown and I'll show you all the restricted zones? It includes 3 miles of Waterfront.
Welcome Peggy. I too am a native and have seen many changes in Jax over the years. I love it dearly, like a friend or relative. I think all it needs is TLC and it will grow and prosper.
Good to have another well-versed set of opinions on this forum.
