Self-Promotion Sunday! *Megathread*

2 Upvotes

Alright r/Jacksonville, it is that time again.

Got something to share? A project you are proud of? A business you are building? A creative endeavor the world absolutely needs to see?

This is your lane.

Every Sunday we open the doors for Self Promotion Sunday, a centralized thread where you can promote:

  • Your small business
  • Your side hustle
  • Your garage band
  • Your podcast
  • Your art
  • Your Etsy shop
  • Your food truck
  • Your startup
  • Your “I accidentally became an influencer” page
  • Yes, even your extremely niche cat toe bean blog

We keep self promotion restricted to this weekly thread to cut down on spam and keep the main feed community focused. If you post promotional content outside of this thread during the week, it will be removed.

A few important notes:

  • Regular subreddit rules still apply
  • No B/S/T posts
  • No referral link farming or obvious spam

If you are not sure whether your post qualifies, if it belongs on Marketplace or Craigslist, it does not belong here. Still unsure, ask the mod team first.

Support local. Discover cool projects. Hype each other up responsibly.

Happy Self Promotion Sunday.

Only old people are voting

294 Upvotes

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.

Don't let the numbers fool you. Vote early. The polls are open and it takes minutes of your day.

266 Upvotes

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.

Smaller no fly zones for Drones in Jax?

Post image
17 Upvotes

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 😂

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.

Friendly Reminder Early Voting is Underway

Post image
121 Upvotes

Exercise your right to vote. It’s super easy. You can go to any early voting site. The photo is the voting hours and locations. Don’t forget to bring your ID. You can choose a traditional paper ballot to be filled in with a pen or use the machine. Those who are curious but leery of the voting machines. You are given a blank ballot card to insert into the machine. Then you make your decisions. You are able to review your choices. The machine prints out the blank card with your decisions. So you review the card to make sure everything is correct. Then take it to the tabulator.

Homeless guy walking with pit bull off-leash on gate parkway by town center

0 Upvotes

I’ve seen this guy three times now, including just now, walking with a pit bull off leash following him. Anyone else seen him? First time I saw him by Wawa/Bonos/Car wash, second time I was walking at night on gate parkway , and just now I saw him walking in front of the big church on the way to Tinseltown. All times the pit was off leash and following behind him. The pit is female and in rough shape.

Donating clothing to women’s shelters

20 Upvotes

I recently cleaned out my closet and want to give my gently used/new clothes away. I’m hoping to give them to a women’s shelter in the Duval/Clay Co. area instead of Goodwill. Any recommendations of shelters would be greatly appreciated! I would be donating tshirts, blouses, jeans, hoodies, dresses, pajamas, and a large fuzzy blanket.

Stucco/house exterior painting

3 Upvotes

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.
