Where do you live in Jax?

[RiversideGator]

Just curious where everyone actually lives.

[bobliocatt]

I live off Southside Blvd, just south of JTB, in the Southside. I'd love to live in one of the Inner City hoods, but I won't be able too, until I make a little more money. In the meantime my location gives me great access to downtown and my job in Ponte Vedra.

[RiversideGator]

I have lived in Riverside (obviously) since 1999. Tremendous improvement since then, by the way.

Being that my wife is military, I currently do not reside in Jax at the moment but will return in 2008.

However, I have lived in Riverside (2 places), Southside (8 places), Mandarin, Northside, Jax Beach...you left out Westside (which I've also lived), Nassau County (lived there too) and St, Johns County.

Granted I know they limit you to 10 options.

[Captain Obvious]

Mandarin ... at least that's where I grew up, and where my family still lives.

Once I get out of school, I assume that I'll move back, but I'm not sure where. Most of the nicer urban areas will certainly be out of my price range.

[RiversideGator]

You can rent an apartment from me in Riverside.

North or South of Park St?

[Urban_Legend]

Well, I'm an out-of-towner who lives in South Florida. But I used to live in Argyle, near Orange Park. I'd never move back out there; the traffic is too bad.

[Viper]

I've lived on that border too. Blanding Blvd at rush hour is simply mad.

[Urban_Legend]

Dang, Viper, you've been everywhere!

*sings Jonny Cash's song, I've Been Everywhere*

[Viper]

haha. Yeah, we moved around a lot. I never went to the same school two years in a row.

[JaxNole]

Kernan < Avenues < Arlington < Westside

[JaxInvestor]

[merlin]

Doctors Lake in the Town of Orange Park.

[jjoshjl]

Avondale>Riverside>Avondale>Riverside>Springfield>Avondale

[93sportie]

Jax Beach-2years,Mandarin-6 months,Westside/Avondale-4years and now Springfield going on 7 years.

[RiversideGator]

Viper, we have one bldg on Post St, one on Forbes St and one on Cherry St (all N of Park). No vacancies currently though. I would like to by a multi-family in Springfield too. How is the rental market there though?

[jandar]

Lived in the following places growing up:

Westside (all areas)

Northside (dunn ave)

Riverside

Southside (atlantic Blvd)

Clay County (currently)

Im born and raised, can remember when JTB, Beach, and Atlantic were nothing but pine trees on the way to the beach.

BTW, anyone else think that the commercials stating "The" JTB just seem wrong? (The J. Turner Butler Blvd)

Do we call Atlantic: "The Atlantic" or Blanding "The Blanding"?

[Viper]

Some acronymed roads are given 'the' as a treatment of singularity. It's also used on Martin Luther King Parkway, aka The MLK.

[JaxNole]

I think that sounds somewhat metropolitan. Where did you hear SR 202 referred to as The JTB? I've heard visitors asking for directions at gas stations call it Butler, J Turner, J Turner Butler and JTB. Maybe we could even come up with our own to confuse people even more.

I'll start:

J Turner Butler Blvd (SR 202) becomes Suburban Office Parkway (The SOP).

[Viper]

haha, that's pretty accurate too. I also think the Blvd moniker is not really adequate as it's a controlled access freeway for all the the traffic lights at Philips and 95.

[Fruit Cove]

should i vote for mandarin or out of town? southside maybe. by the way i live in fruit cove less than a min south of mandarin, what a shock.

[wolfdawg54]

Am I the only one that lives at the beaches?

[Urban_Legend]

^lol, if it means much, I live in near a beach.....
