So I just moved to Jacksonville Florida and holy shit this place sucks when compared to central Indiana. What is there to do around here and where can I find some fucking corn fields so I can feel at home.

Also goddamn it's fucking hot and muggy, never come here in the summer.

how many old people have you seen so far?

Surprisingly not all that many compared to central Indy.

But then I live a somewhat more poor region because I'm a poor law school student, so I'm not liable to mix with them as much.

Picked the wrong place in Florida to move to. Place is a hole.

I know that. Unfortunately, my law school is located there so I have no choice in the matter. The question is then, what can I do to make it LESS of a hole?

See that large body of water to the east? Go there and surf. Lucky bastard I live on the other side and there are no waves. :(

The biggest thing in Jacksonville is the UF vs UGA game that gets played there every year. Lots of stuff goes on around that weekend, but... thats only a once a year thing.

Anyway, Not sure if your into fishing but there's lots of great freshwater and saltwater fishing there. I dont know much about the nightlife there.

How fun is surfing? I'm from the midwest so keep in mind that I've never done it. Are there ways to try it out without a huge investment of money?

Jacksonville is supposedly like the most boring place in Florida

Man, I didn't think there'd be any place worse than Indiana :|

Only two places to be, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis. Everywhere else is shit in Indiana.

For a big city, there REALLY isn't much to do here.

I usually go to the beach, mall, or movies, just because it's something to do. People even hang out at WAL-MART out of boredom.

Sorry to say, you came to a shitty city.

OP here

I'm from Indiana and let me tell you, that place is way more fun than this shithole.

Hell, even Lafayette had shit to do, but then that's a college town.

Yeah, I live in Gainesville.

Jacksonville is a big-ass city, but its also boring as hell, honestly.

Best suggestion is to hang out at the beach. Jacksonville beach is supposedly nice again. Find some friends or ask some folks at the college which one is the "white-people" beach, because forgot... the beach further up north, more north then the mouth of the River is where all the black folks hang out.

I can't picture how some asshole from Indiana would not want to hang out on the beach...

Your county has nice alcohol laws, its a big city, I'm sure there is something for you to do there. Its nice this time of the year, wait untill late August, when the humidiy index is like, 102% and you can see vapor sublimination off hot cars and shit. Have fun with that.

There's a decent amount of bars and night clubs, and there's a somewhat decent music scene, depending on your tastes. The beach usually has stuff going on over the summer. I lived there for 20 years before moving to some bumfuck town in the middle of Missouri; I thought Jax was boring, but now it seems like a fucking paradise compared to this shithole. There's not even a Best Buy or Barnes and Noble here. I can't wait to get back to Jax, I've found a new appreciate for it that I didn't have 5 years ago.

OP here again.

Apparently JAX has one of three biggest and the most ornate Buddhist temple in the US. I think I'm gonna go check that out.

Go to the market and roll around in corn or go to the gas station and drench yourself in 10% ethanol.

Go to some night clubs. Go mountain biking at Hanna Park. Get drunk at Sherwoods on cheap, strong drinks in San Marco. Go to to a fucking surf shop and ask about surfing. The waves are usually small so it's easy to learn. Catch a baseball or football game downtown. Make out with one of the thousands of college students of the area. Attend the symphony. Christ, get off your ass.

Get drunk at the Landing. Fall into the river.
