The crime is low and the schools are wonderful. Anyone should be lucky enough to live here and enjoy the warm sandy beaches.
My favorite place is Wendy's, oh man do they know how to cook a burger.
Do not enjoy going to Arby's that place is just nasty.
I personally don't enjoy Florida in general due to my past experiences but Jacksonville was very trashy in my opinion.
The people! So many very trashy people.... a lot of dirty places, drug activity. It is just not a place I would go back to unless I absolutely had to.
