JACKSONVILLE – Gardner’s Gazette is a new blog started by k.a. gardner to mark @flipsideflorida‘s new twitter moniker – @GardnersGazette. The premise of the blog is to create story concepts based around the social media platform, Twitter. The blog under its new name began on June 18th. Toronto’s G20 Summit riots are historic for the city. [...] [...more]
BestofNewOrleans.com (News and Classifieds by Gambit)’s newsletter sent Flipside Florida a reminder of the collective festival known as Vieux-To-Do: The annual Louisiana Seafood Festival returns this weekend to the Old U.S. Mint, part of a three-festival lineup known collectively as the Vieux-To-Do. The Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival provides the tunes with a lineup of bands from [...] [...more]
The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival resumes Thurs., April 29th (tomorrow, actually). Because everyone has differing tastes in music, musicians ply their trade on nine different stages and two tents, each named something different. For example, the Gospel Tent plays gospel music. Anyone with any sense knows the Gentilly Stage is the best stage, [...] [...more]
JACKSONVILLE — Jim Jeroo is back and brings gifts with him (mainly a perfect segue to another blog post for me). The soon-to-be-famous artisan went There and back again (Nov.11, 2009) to Londontown late last year. By sheer “osmosis” Jim Jeroo said he nows lives in Riverside, which is the very same location featured in Flipside Florida‘s [...] [...more]
The Financial Times [of London] according to itself, is one of the world’s leading business news organizations. The newspaper published in its House and Home section a lovely article, Perfectly Preserved, which features Jacksonville’s avant garde Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods. The community was naturally delighted. I was impressed because Flipside Florida‘s whole premise of Jacksonville as America’s Logistics Center is neatly [...] [...more]
Just the other day, again on twitter, a tweet from ForbesOpinions (Forbes.com) with an article link caught my eye: World’s Smartest Cities: … today’s “smart” cities tend to be smaller, compact and more efficient: places like Amsterdam; Seattle; Singapore; Curitiba, Brazil; and Monterrey, Mexico. This is not an entirely new notion: Between the 14th and [...] [...more]
Being this post is the first since late in September, I feel I owe an explanation to anyone who may be interested as to why. So inspired was I by dolphins being jerks, I sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in search of sushi. Of course that’s not true, but it’s as good a reason as [...] [...more]
JACKSONVILLE – Let’s face it. Maritime shipping isn’t a glamourous subject. Just look at Crowley Maritime Corp. Ship Assist and Escort? A bunch of tugboats dragging cargo around Oakland Harbor. Although just last week its TITAN Salvage team [was] involved in the dramatic, 12-hour cliff-top rescue of the 25 crewmembers onboard the grounded cargo ship [...] [...more]
JACKSONVILLE - The Star is Malaysia’s most widely-read English language daily newspaper – the publication ran an online feature on Aug. 29th about Machines of Isle of Nantes [France]. (Why the article ran in Malaysia at all is probably a story unto itself, so we won’t concern ourselves with that today). “On the Ile de Nantes [Isle [...] [...more]
Not to go overboard singing the praises of JAXPORT, but it has had so many JAXPORTinTheNews tweets on Twitter I feel obliged to share [at least five]. Besides that, Jeff Price, who is JAXPORT’s Communications Coordinator, just yesterday became another Linkedin contact of mine. I saw him on Linkedin because he linked-in with Tony Quesada, [...] [...more]
