Welcome Mike! I'm in a similar position in Ft. Myers from NYC so I feel your pain. Been here since March but now I am meeting people...there are liberals here just gotta find them! Now is a good time with the elections. They are assembling regularly here, I would suppose in Jacksonville too. And most I'm meeting are your age 25-35.

I lived in Tallahassee for just a year and change, and I feel for you. It's a painful state, in more ways than one.

Hello and welcome to hell although Jax is probably more fun than where I am LOL

Oddly, I want to move to Seattle

Culture shock, I'm sure! Good luck!
