As a Jacksonville native, there's nothing I enjoy more than finding new beautiful places to visit in my city. From finding perfect places for picnics to local restaurants to hidden bookstores, exploring Jacksonville never gets boring. There is always something exciting to do and this list are just a few of my personal favorites!

1. Bold Bean Coffee Roasters

Bold Bean Coffee Roasters located on Stockton Street (or their other location in Jacksonville Beach) never ceases to be the perfect place for cramped homework sessions, or just catching up with friends!

2. Picnic in Memorial Park


When the weather is right, this is the perfect spot! Memorial Park has a great view of not only the St. John's River, but the Life sculpture, too!

3. Sunset at County Dock


This picture says it all.

4. Little Talbot Island


Far drive, but worth it!

5. Metro Diner

Order the Fried Chicken and Waffle, you won't regret it.

6. The Museum of Contemporary Art

7. Deep Search Records


8. Chamblin's Uptown


Prepare to be lost in a labyrinth of books.

9. Jacksonville Landing


Whether it's a big concert for cheap, beautiful lights during Christmas time, or the spectacular show on the Fourth of July, there's always something going on!

10. Angie's Subs at Jax Beach

Order the Peruvian.

11. Jacksonville Beach


12. Chomp Chomp

This hidden gem of a restaurant located on Herschel Street never ceases to make anyone's mouth water.

13. Everbank Field

We may not have the best winning streak, but how can you not want to watch a game with a field like this?

14. Jacks Rabbit

This hole in the wall concert venue located on Hendricks is a great place to checkout some local bands!

15. Downtown


Just look at this view, there's always something to do!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
