re: Family Orientated-Single Demise - 12/12/2010 -
1/21/2012Why so? I am a single Mom and while I do not consider myself Liberal, I am not conservative. I am concerned about how good a place it would be for a 16 year old boy to make friends, socialize and be safe. Also, about what kind of life I could give us making barely 30k a year. Any advice would be great.

In Desperate Need of Advice! -
1/21/2012Hi, Can anyone offer any advice on Jacksonville? I am a single Mom of a 16 year old boy and am considering taking a position in Jacksonville and relocating there. My two major concerns are 1) Will this be a good place for a 16 yr old boy, ie: lots of teens, safe, fun stuff, walkable, bike riders, etc and 2) With an income of barely 30k a year, will we be able to live a decent life? Any and all suggestions and opinions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

1/21/2012Hi, Just wondering if you could offer more info. You mentioned that if you were "single and liberal", you might want to find someplace else. Well, I am definitely single and although I have never considered myself a liberal, I am NOT an ultra conservative. I am a single Mom of a 16 yr old boy. Would this be a place a 16 yr old boy would thrive? Any details would be great!! Thanks..

Please give me the pros and cons, terrified of my -
1/21/2012Was wondering if anyone could offer any advice. One poster said, if you are single and liberal, this is not the place for you. Well, I am definitely single (a single mom of a 16 yr old boy) and as for Liberal, well, I wouldn't go that far, but I'm certainly not ultra Conservative. Are there a lot of teens? My son would be miserable if there were no one around his age. We are currently way out here in a little town in CA where the streets are covered in kids. They all walk and bike to school since there are no busses and it's extremely safe. We are from NC, and I am considering taking a position in Jacksonville. Any advice? Pros, Cons... And why do you think the poster said it would NOT be a good place if you are single or liberal?
