It’s great to see more jobs coming to Jacksonville after our delegation met with Primark in London. It is a reminder why we have earned the title of America’s Logistics Center.

This little guy wandered down the right street Sunday and found his way into me and @Chelsea_Kav’s world.
Appears to be crate trained and has been perfectly fine with our kids.
We already have our share of dogs and are looking to find him a home. Jax shelters are full.
