Bouq:

 Tim Tebow for donating $5.5 million toward a new state-of-the-art pediatric dental surgery center. The Lakeside Dental Surgery Center, being constructed on Philips Highway, will cater to those with special needs and patients from all backgrounds. His gift will help fill the dearth of pediatric dentistry in Jacksonville, which is currently a big issue, some even say “a crisis.”

Brick:

Drivers with road rage. Yes, we are throwing a brickbat at those with road rage in writing, but our rant is much safer what some drivers are out there doing, including shooting into cars with children inside. If you find yourself becoming so agitated you constantly feel you need give other drivers the bird, lay on your horn, rev your engine (we’re so impressed), shout obscenities, wave a gun or even worse, you might want to consider talking to someone about your anger issues. No one is saying Jacksonville drivers can’t be frustrating as hell at times (looking at you, slow drivers in the left lane), but is it really worth rage levels just prove your point? A car is a deadly weapon, and aggravated battery is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Why not download an app for meditation and learn to chill out, people?

The Hunt: Finding the Best Hotdogs in Northeast Florida

It’s officially summertime. And what else screams summertime other than a nice hot glizzy? Maybe wrapped in tinfoil, cooked over a grill or boiled? Even if you claim you dont like hotdogs, you still kind of like hotdogs. It's un-American to feel otherwise.
