      But, why IS Jacksonville. It’s like a bleaker, more corporate, and more southern version of Cincinnati. Every company seems to have a Jacksonville office, but i can’t figure out why

        It’s the cheapest, largest city in Florida, situated on i95 and i10, with ports, railways, and an “international” airport. Relatively close to Tallahassee and Orlando, and has a population just shy of 1 million, with a solid amount of those being working age, even more if you consider the metropolitan area (1.7 mil). On paper it’s a solid pick to establish a presence in one of the most populous states in America. There’s just one problem though, it’s Jacksonville lol

        Fr though, Jacksonvilles alright. It gets a bad rap but there’s some really nice places around town, with more popping up every day and lots of nature if that’s your thing. I’ve been working in jax for 10 years and living here for 8. It’s more of a home to me than my hometown
