@MattBrockelman @NateMonroeTU Thanks for your leadership. I love downtown. Some folks around here idolize the suburbs, and misunderstand the appeal of and requirements for active urban spaces. Downtown is by far the most walkable place in jax, with the most authentic man made beauty. #Believe

If you know me, you know my passion for Downtown. I’ve worked here for 10+ yrs, repped many #dtjax institutions in City Hall, & was a Downtown resident for most of my 20s. I am so pro-Downtown that it’s annoying (ask @NateMonroeTU). I’ll remain so. But we have challenges. A 🧵:

@jimmyforjax Very exciting. I’ve never seen it in its original glory 🥰

Friendship freaking fountain, everybody!!! Head over to the southbank & check out one of Jacksonville’s incredible new public amenity. It’s been years, but from what I’ve seen it’s worth the wait! #ilovejax

@alexandriammans @TimesUnionGuild Congrats!

Another year down already! So many really great and unexpected things came this year, not the least of which being @TimesUnionGuild getting our first contract and my writing two long pieces about strip clubs. 😊 Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, this weather is giving me a serious case of the Sunday scaries 👻

@theurbancore I don’t really know what muffaletta is but I’m pretty sure the right answer here is community loaves.

I'm very confident in my my meats, cheeses, and olive salad. I'm calm about those. But I need a mufaletta bread. I keep winning every year but the bread, it's not perfect. I realize I can order it but I'm trying to source local. Otherwise I'd just order from central. Help JAX

@BenjaminAlcorn Cheering for you and your big cats. Rowr

From a fan perspective, this Lions win is up there with some of my favorite Detroit sports wins. If they keep winning it will be up there with 2000 Spartans, 1984 Tigers, 1989 Pistons, and 1997 Red Wings. I don’t know who I would bump out of the top 4.

@BenjaminAlcorn So glad you prevailed in “Ben vs Vivian”

I am stunned. 1st playoff win for the Lions since I was 12 years old. I am currently 45! Go Lions! 2nd playoff win in my lifetime! I can now forget Erik ‘Cosmo’ Kramer.

@JoshGellers I saw that! Big win for your brand awareness! Kudos!

@JoshGellers @dgarfunk Sorry Josh 😢

The st Augustine paper refused to run any civil right movement photos, even though Dr King filled two churches with people who wanted to hear his message!

@jimmyforjax Yes!!!!!

Soon, Jacksonville, soon. 🚴 #protectedbikelanes

@realdarrenwhite The springs are the true magic kingdom in this state.

@CharlesLGriggs @MayorDeegan Congratulations, Charles! This work couldn’t be more important, and I’ll be rooting for you.

Seasons change. And I’m thankful to @MayorDeegan for this next season and opportunity serve our community. #Forward

Update. She is registered with Duval schools and linked to my parent account. The application should be in my portal tomorrow. Making progress!

@alannaluksha Cats FTW!

@BethReeseCravey @ZenCog YouTube has it all 😂

@sgarry @ZenCog Brilliant!

@LewTurner @SanMarcoTrain In the wild

And there we have it… the triple. Caught the @SanMarcoTrain twitter account in the crosswalk. Im truly living a Cowford life.
