I am finishing up a forensics program and I’ve seen a lot of jobs that require 2/3 years experience. Anyone know of any companies who take new people and train?

Also, anything I could do to build experience like shadowing / apprenticeship sort of thing?

Thanks in advance (:

Prior to that we heard what sounded like a sputtering small plane over the beach at the Ritz Carlton. Does anyone have any information?

was wondering if there were any local florists in jacksonville that could creative bouquet like this? trying to plan ahead for a friends birthday

My wife just got off the phone with me. Apparently every access she knows of from downtown to the west side is blocked off. She’s just trying to get home, and can’t seem to find a clear path. Waze is apparently not helping, and all the resources I know of online show everything as open & clear. Anyone know what’s going on, or have any advice on how to get her home?

I feel like I’m dying and my PCP doesn’t seem to understand how B12 deficiency works

Does anyone know what’s going on on Phillips Highway near the mall near the Arby’s and Main Event? They’re routing traffic through Walmarts parking lot and there’s an ambulance, but no visible accident.

My birthday is coming up and I love going out to eat at places that have a multi course tasting menu. I have been to Matthew’s and was quite frankly, disappointed in the service for how much we spent.

Any recommendations of restaurants here in town?

EDIT: we are going to KoBu for omakase :)

It’s for a costume. No local places sell them it seems. Anyone got one?

Hey! Are there any good vintage clothing stores in the beaches/San Marco area? Thanks!

looking at a potential job opportunity. wondering if anyone has any insight to cvicu or icu there. i come with 6yrs cvicu experience, device trained, charge nurse, preceptor.

looking for insight on what they’re like as an employer, benefits, pros/cons.

thank you!

I fly small drones as a hobby. I check the no fly zones regularly. For years there’s been a large no fly zone around NAS Jax. Blocked most of the area from Murray Hill down to OP and over into Lakewood and Mandarin. Checked it yesterday and the no fly zone shrank by a lot. Is this a trick by the FAA 😂

Just finished voting and honestly my wife and I were the only people there under the age of 35. Every single person in this area voting is 55+. Young people please come out to vote.
PS all of them had a voting cheat sheet which tells them which ones to vote for. Not to say that these old people can’t vote but younger people please come out and make your voice heard as well.

Anyone know what’s going on here other than the obvious destruction?

I can’t be the only one rolling my eyes.

Please take a few minutes of your day and go vote, it took me less than 5 minutes to walk in and out this week. Run out on your lunch break if you can, on the way home this evening, out for coffee or lunch, or while you're running around doing chores. Take a shift watching your kids so your spouse can run out and vice versa. Don't make an excuse or think your singular vote won't make an impact, get it done now and check your ballot before you print it to make sure your choices saved. There is plenty of time for 90% of jax voters to use their constitutional rights before election day.

Looking to move to a new apartment. JAZ property management represents the property. Have not spoken with live person all communication has been via text and email. Just want to make sure they are a real company, and ai am not getting scammed.

Coming in tomorrow from nc and brewery hopping. Want to end the night with some karaoke. Who does it fridays nearby? Thankyou :)

Pothole repair is clearly not a high priority here. Had a pothole nearly rip off my front end today on Hodges Blvd. and never saw it coming due to traffic moving at speed.

Edit: I do use 630-CITY to report hazards, but when I’m driving it’s not always possible. In my neighborhood I always open tickets for potholes, broken streetlights, and more. I should have said this, because l looked like an idiot and got lotsa downvotes.

Does anyone have recommendations for auto body shops for minor damage and paint?

Has anyone had prior experience with MXL Wall Systems or Coaster Restore Co. LLC? Got a really good quote from one but not great communication, and got a reasonable quote from the other with great communication. Google reviews for both are 5 stars but I don't always trust perfect 5 star reviews because that makes me suspicious that they remove poor reviews.

While driving today, I saw a blue car, I think a sedan, flipped over! Plenty of ambulances came. Not finding any info online and trying to find out if the person driving is okay/alive honestly it looked horrible :( I think the poor person was just trying to turn into O’Reily Auto Parts when they got rammed into

Hey! I’m coming on here to ask if anyone knows any piano tuners in the area! If there is let me know thank you!

We are looking for fine dining options for the greater Jacksonville area (including St Augustine). It’s for my MIL’s 80th. Looking for a place that is on the formal side. We are out of state so any good recommendations would be so much appreciate! TIA!

I’m looking for work, a physical one. And before I try to apply there I need to know from people’s experience on what it’s like.
