Spring is in the air, and here in Jacksonville that means there is plenty of pollen to go around. Pollen on our cars, in our yards and if you aren’t careful, it could be in your air ducts. The air ducts are the series of tubes that run through your home to push air into each room. They direct air from your HVAC system all throughout your house, helping to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. However, during the spring your air ducts can become subject to major build up of dust, danger, and debris of all sorts—including molecules of pollen.

Across the nation, farmers markets are growing in popularity. This is evident through the rise of television shows and magazine articles–and in some cases even magazines– that all focus exclusively on shopping local and cooking organic.

This is a type of plant that is conditioned to grow a certain way, meaning that it will be more colorful, larger or even pest resistant.
The St. Johns River Ferry runs every 30 minutes between 6am and 7pm to connect Mayport and Ft. George Island. On weekends the ferry is open even later, shuffling residents across the river until just past 8pm in the evening.

There are some people who really enjoy a good movie. We all have friends like this, who head out to the movies week after week to catch the latest blockbuster in the theaters. When we head out to trivia night, they are the ones who know the ins and outs of the movies and actors. And many of those movie lovers have a film or two that stays incredibly close to their heart. Sometimes, those films become worth their weight in gold—particularly when a fan turns a multi-million dollar mansion into a commemorative piece worth an Oscar on its own.

Property sales in Jacksonville are looking strong as we head into the summer season, but not all the news coming out of Jacksonville is looking as great. Of course—it all depends on the way you look at it. Several years ago Jacksonville was considered the worst city in the country for pedestrians. As of this week, those rankings are out again and Jacksonville has improved—at least in the rankings.
