I had 2 new run tru single stage condensers/handlers with new attic ductwork installed in January in my 114 year old home. House sits at almost 80% relative humidity. Summer has uncovered many issues caused by the negligence of the company that installed them. I’m not even sure if they are correctly sized. Looking for an honest and thorough HVAC company to come out and take a look at the work that was done and give me a quote. Let me know who you trust! I have looked back at old posts and I’m deciding between Donovan (though I know the company was bought in 2020 by PE..), Buehler, A/C Designs, J&W, Thigpen, B-Cool

Sadly, I need to find homes (preferably one home, but I'm being realistic) for my Mom's cats. She passed in 2022 (fuck cancer, one week from today will be 4 years). My brother was living in the home she had, with her 5 (now elderly; 10, 13, 14, 16 & 17) cats. Unfortunately, he's about to lose the home to foreclosure. We don't know how much time we have, but it's not long. He's moving in with our dad, stepmom, and younger sister. The cats can't go with him, as our sister is *insanely* allergic to them. I can't take them, I have a small place that's barely enough room for my 2 cats. I can take them temporarily if need be, but my landlord would lose his mind if he found out. Our stepmom has a friend who works for a sanctuary, but she can't find homes for cats as old as they are. I really don't want to drop them off at the shelter. All 5 are the sweetest little bugs. The youngest has bursts of kitten energy still, but doesn't get crazy. They're well behaved, not a destructive bone in their bodies. Would anyone be able to give me some advice? Or is anyone looking to love on some old kitties? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm way in over my head with everything that's going on. Her storage unit that had 100+ year old furniture thats been in our family forever is most likely gone, and now the house she absolutely loved. Now, all I can do is just make sure my brother and these cats have safe & loving homes.

Jacksonville's Museum of Science and History has been demolished, and the new one won't open for several years. What was your favorite part of the old MOSH? What will you miss?

I work for a small company and I feel like it may happen soon.

Does anyone know of any local truck jobs or anything in logistics??? I’ve been in logistics for 13 years and this has been the first I’ve not gotten any offers after sending out thousands of applications!! A brief background: I have a class a cdl, hazmat endorsements, twic, bsc in supply chain management, customs and regulations certifications. HEEELLPPPP!

Enormous news for a local fighter!! So proud!!

This is something I think is more of a Florida thing.

When stopped at a red light, some cars will leave at least a car’s length or more of space between vehicles. Generally it’s not just one car doing it, so it adds up.

I’ve noticed when people are doing that in turn lanes, it’s backing up the turn lane to the point it’s blocking the non turn lanes. To me it seems like it’s just needlessly backing up traffic.

Is there an actual reason people are doing this? I’m genuinely curious.

Those yeehaws in the surrounding counties (that have congressional seats that are gerrymandered to include parts of duval) are voting in higher numbers. You have until 7 pm. Go vote.

Just got done cutting the grass. Saw the leaves moving on the trees through the window and thought I will beat the heat and get this done early. There is no beating this heat. I now know what my kids chicken nuggets feel like in the air fryer. Be careful and be safe.

Any suggestions for a delicious fried catfish plug in Jax?

I was craving fried catfish and decided to take a risk on the closest barbeque joint that offered it - Mojo No. 4. Previously, I revisited The Pig and Snapper's and tried a nearby DD ghost kitchen, but none were incredible.

Respectfully, while everything else at Mojo's was delicious.... I grew up enjoying Southern catfish fries, and this plate is entirely NOT what I'd expect from a bbq joint in the South. MAYBE I could expect this if served to me from up north, or perhaps from a landlocked region within a foreign country 😭

I'm not near the beach so I'm assuming I just need to do some driving to discover happiness. Ya girl is craving THE BEST AYCE or per plate fried catfish. Please save me. 🙏🏽

Hey Jacksonville, wondering if I could get some references on your favorite gun shops in or around Jacksonville or south Georgia. More recently I've enjoyed collecting old antique guns and wondering if you have any go to shops to look for used firearms. My personal favorite is US patriot on Atlantic.

Everything I can find online says short term rentals are not allowed in residential zoned areas.

However the city planning department refuses to enforce these rules.

Has anyone successfully navigated this issue? We are tired of our neighborhood being a revolving door of parties and loud guests.
