Greetings from Riverside! I've been lurking the site for about 6 months off and on. I just figured I'd finally get involved in the discussion. I'm an employee of a small computer firm here in jax. Have lived in Riverside for around 4 years, and work mostly with architects and such. I'm also involved in the art community in a passive way (read, serve drinks at a small gallery) and spend tons of free time in 5-points listening to the gossip. ;) I like having a pulse on the community.
I bike as frequently as I can, but 2 kids prevents me doing so as much as I want. I'm also active in the community doing charity work as a member of the 501st Legion (those star wars guys).
Look forward to speaking with all of you and adding my 2 cents.
Welcome Loki... this site is nearly as good as 5 points to gauge the pulse of the community! We look forward to your input! :)
BT said it. You'll find quite a few fellow residents to mingle with here.
Welcome!
Hello all. I too am a newcomer to MetroJax but not to Jacksonville. I moved here to the Baymeadows area from Gainesville in 1985, then to Arlington in 1989 and finally to Riverside in 1995. I love Riverside. I am smack in the middle of the RAP area and love the entire area. And I am astonished at the growth in this area, especially around 5 Points in just the past few years.
I am a proud Harley-Davidson owner and also belong to a railroad historical society focusing on the Atlantic Coastline and Seaboard Airline Railroads which had a huge presence in Jax for many, many years.
I look forward to getting to know folks here more as time goes on.
Welcome aboard !!
Welcome! :)
Did you say, Star Wars?

Why yes, yes I did.
You can find us at most art walks.. why? I dunno. Some people think we're irrelevant there. Here's a pic of me in front of Universe of Superheroes for Free Comic Book Day.
