Coffee shops are one of my favorite places to dwell. I will spend hours and hours slowly sipping a $2 cup of coffee and tasting each phase of the cooling process. From burn my mouth hot to warming than any creamer that’s been on the counter for a QUASA (Starbucks ref) amount of time. Anyways. […]
You won’t spot this brewery from the road, but you’ll find the beers distributed throughout tons of Jacksonville bars. I ended up trying beers from Intuition, Veterans United and Green Room before finally getting to visit Bold City. But I knew the day would eventually come. Josh Tells Me About Jax Breweries It all began […]
One of the things I’m starting to enjoy about this city is the feeling of everyone having recently come from a sunny day at the beach. People look a little sand-dusted, wave-beaten and sun-toasted.

It means a free app and extra cheery servers — ooo and double prizes for trivia. And when you’re in the mood for […]
Step 1: Roll Out The Door with Coffee on the Brain Sometimes you just want breakfast. Sure, you might have eggs, some cereal, even waffle mix at home. But that requires cooking. Buying groceries, whisking yokes and washing dishes. It’s a whole thing. Heading to a diner to scarf down some brunch only requires you […]
Richard and Marlene told me about Barbara Jean’s. They were sharing some of their favorite Jacksonville secrets over a meal at Chili’s. It was on their list of places I should try.
