🎄 Looking for a free meal on the First Coast?

If you’re cruising down Heckscher Drive this holiday season, here’s a festive stop worth making. Sandollar Restaurant is giving away $250 in gift cards on Christmas Eve, and entering couldn’t be easier.

Just stop by, drop your name in the contest box near the bar… and that’s it. No purchase required. Yep, we were surprised too.

With waterfront views, holiday décor, and their Christmas Eve seafood buffet happening the same day, this feels like one of those locals-know-best moments we love to share.

🎁 Winner drawn Christmas Eve, don’t miss it.

Our friends at Browns Creek Fish Camp, Inc. Are absolutely correct, somebody WILL die here if the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District doesn't take action and soon. Imagine your just crusing past Blount Island and your boat comes to a dead halt... what happens? You end up on a sandbar with a broken neck, spine or head injury at best. But more than likely someone on your vessel will die. The area needs your help. Message the tagged U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District and let them know action is needed and quickly.

Little by little JEA is disappearing from the Heckscher drive landscape. This weekend they removed the over road conveyor system that previously hauled coal from Jaxport to the power plant.
