Bouq:

To Jacksonville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and Britni Burkins Allstate for going above and beyond for this year’s toy drive hosted by “Folio.” Because of their generosity, nearly 100 bicycles were delivered to children in need on Ken Knight Drive. 

 

Brick:

From one of our loyal readers:  My wife and I take our 88-year-old friend out for dinner on the holiday. After our Thanksgiving dinner, we decided to go ahead and reserve our plans for Christmas dinner.  We used Open Table to reserve our dinner at Juliette’s Bistro located inside the Marriot Hotel downtown.   They confirmed the reservations in writing.  3 days before Christmas we got an email that they would be cancelling the reservation as they decided to be closed. We were only notified by email.  No courtesy call, no recommendation for another restaurant, nothing.  Thanks for nothing but the run around Juliette’s Bistro

To Palm Valley/St. Johns County for removing literally every oak tree in the county. They are literally allowing the developers to slaughter the land. Not only is it an eye sore, but it’s an environmental hypocrisy. City and county leaders talk about clean air while they are butchering their own environmental resources.  By the way, when it comes time to replant. the developers are only putting in cheap palms which are subject to freeze.
