I've never set foot in Jacksonville, but I once rode a train through town. Based on my experience, the town makes a clacking sound and gently rocks back and forth.

I am in Jacksonville right now yes. Dr. Pepper I'm flattered :)

Well...looks like I will be moving my family to Jacksonville shortly as my job offer came thru.

I now get to laugh at my northern friends while I am still playing golf in January and February.

I know I will get to watch at least one Chiefs game on regular TV this year since the Jags and Chiefs play each other in 2016.

You need to go to a game. That stadium is pretty sweet. Sit in the north endzone and you can check out all the hotties in the pool. Or get cheap tix and go straight to the Bud Zone. That's behind where I sit in the south endzone...

We'll have to try and catch a game together sometime....

Or maybe just meet at a sportsbar to watch a game...

Went to see the minor league team, Jacksonville Suns. That was a nice ballpark and fun.

They are the minor league team for the Miami Marlins.

We should try to get a Chiefs club going here, at least to get together and watch the games.

Where do you usually go MahiMike?

If you have kids, don't move to Duval county unless you want to put them in private school. You are going to want to live on the same side of the St John's River that your work is located, too. Traffic is a nightmare if you have to cross one of the bridges.

That's not totally true. There are some excellent magnet schools in Jacksonville. Stanton College Prep is ranked #31 nationally, and is usually in the top 5-10 of public high schools in the country. Paxon, Darnel Cookman, and Douglas Anderson are also considered very good.

I am all for that.....there are probably others in the area who are Chiefs fans who aren't on here especially, but would probably come if we started a fan club.

Luckily for me my kids are all past the HS age.....my daughter will be a junior in college and my son is 23.

For the first time in all my relocations for jobs this is the first time I don't have to worry about being in a good school district.

As for where I will be working.....it is on the south side of town right off I 95. No bridge to have to drive over...

A little trivia......the Jacksonville Suns were a minor league affiliate for the KC Royals from 1972-1983. U.L. Washington, Frank White and Amos Otis all played for the Suns at one point in time.
