Yup,

the firefighters for Oakleaf/Argyle (clay county side) are staying in the Old Jennings area firehouse right now.
The station they had  was torn down before they finished the new one in Oakleaf.
for the record though:
it took 20 minutes on a saturday night @ 1AM for the ambulance to show up when my infant son choked and turned blue(had reflux) last year.
That's not good (re:  response time).  Scary.

Old Jennings fire house??  I live off Old Jennings...in the back of Fox Meadow (the side with the big Catholic church on the corner)...was never a fire house here that I know of.  There is one in Middleburg proper, but even then, we are a Grade 9 over here as far as home owner's insurance.  Grade 10 is the highest.  The first few years I lived here it was being reported incorrectly (I think a 3) by the fire dept (they rate themselves), and once it was corrected, HO went up big time, more than doubled.  We have wells in all of Fox Meadow, so that is a big part of it, but if you are outside of a five-mile radius that will raise your rating right there, plus they rate themselves according to their response time, which they admit is not the best.  Hopefully with the Oakleaf station things will improve.

PS - I'll pay extra for HOs just not to have even the remote possibility of a snake (or snakes!) coming up through any of the drains in my house.  Apparently, when you have a well, there is no opening between the well and the house that they can get into, unlike being on the city water system.  YUCK!  SNAKES - EWWW!

Snakes are a part of living in Florida. No way to get rid of them. Besides, most are beneficial.

I mean the firehouse off of Long Bay.

I've never gotten around to taking any pictures of all the construction going on around here...but here is a link to a recent article which has some pictures of the new Super Wal-Mart and Home Depot.  Both stores are new concept stores and the architectural style is very different...especially Wal-Mart.

Branan Field Development


Over at OakLeaf Town Center...Super Target is taking shape and has stacked stone styling on the exterior.  Looking good.  I'm confident the town center is going to look very nice and fit in well at completion.

They've also broken ground on the new grocery-anchored shopping center which will be a second Publix for the OakLeaf area (on the side with the golf course community of Eagle Landing).

On the opposite side construction has finally gone vertical on OakLeaf Village Center.  I bought an investment home there so I am excited about that.
