Mandalay Park was renamed over the weekend, following a sign unveiling ceremony at the park nestled between Seminole Road and Ocean Blvd. The park was re-designated as Waters Park, to honor the memory of former Atlantic Beach commissioner Dezmond Waters, who died earlier this year. Void of a sign previously, the City of Atlantic Beach […]
Tideviews Preserve “officially” opened this weekend following a ribbon-cutting ceremony early Saturday morning.
As we first reported to you, the parking lot was full for the opening morning.
However, our return trip to view the sunset provided us an empty boardwalk for us to capture the magnificent setting sun.
It was a gorgeous fall afternoon at the beach. We stopped in at Jax Beach pier, to just spend a few minutes soaking in the sunshine and the weekend ambiance. This weather is great for so many things. There are still those who’re willing to swim – even skinning it in the ocean whose temps […]
Tide Views Preserve officially opened Saturday morning to a small crowd and sunny skies. The parking lot was full as visitors meandered through a coastal forest before emerging out into the wetlands that front the western flank of our beaches. The park features a lengthy boardwalk, upon which visitors can fish, take in the scenery […]
Nick Lulli tracks a much cooler weekend, with some parts of the Jacksonville area even picking up some frost. Check out this week’s TBO weather forecast.
I’ve watched a community grieve online twice, in the past year or so. This time, the community – our community – has lost a beloved teacher. Although I’d known Mike Tetlow for several years, it was a superficial acquaintance; he was my kids’ religion teacher at St. Paul’s in Jax Beach. I’d see him around […]
Strong winds whipped area beached into shape over the weekend, as a strong on-shore flow buffeted the area. We sent Nick Lulli out to Jacksonville Beach to see the conditions firsthand.
Sound Swell played at the Void Magazine Party Friday night at the Jacksonville Beach Golf Club.
Have you seen VOID magazine? It’s pretty much everywhere here at the beach, free to the public. We’re longtime magazine lovers so when this new print magazine focussing on North Florida’s surf and skate culture premiered a year ago, it definitely caught our eye. A lot of our favorite magazines have disappeared these past […]
Nick Lulli tracks the weather for your weekend and work week on the November 2 TBO weather forecast.
If it’s schmaltzy to say, “Thank goodness for Mike Shackelford,” then we accept the schmaltz. We’re sentimental about living in a small, coastal town, where neighbors wander over to the park for an open-mic style Acoustic Night each month on a Sunday evening – May through October. The city of Atlantic Beach sponsors the […]
Despite the breezy conditions, and temperature nosedive, Atlantic Beach residents still made it out to the bake-sale. Put on by teen Lily Greenwald, and her younger sister Maggie, the bake sale was to support the Jacksonville Cleft Lip & Palate Clinic. While the elder Lily is the young, budding chef in the family, Maggie takes […]
Here in Florida, our carved pumpkins tend to have a short shelf life. In other words, they rot quickly, so we don’t have much of a window to enjoy our carved, orange masterpieces. But wait! There may be a way to extend the life of your jack-o-lantern! We read about this little trick on our iPhone’s […]
