Murray Hill is the next big neighborhood in Jacksonville. It has some amazing locally owned restaurants. The new Taco Bodega is my personal favorite. There are a lot of local bars to get your favorite local beers.

There are plenty of great people and some cool things if you know where to look but there's also issues with crime and a lot of unpleasant individuals. If you have a tough skin iyou can make it a good place to live but it's not for everyone.

Around here we have Riverside/ Avondale area with a lot of cute shops there. In that area we also have a lot of great restaurants like The Brick, The Mellow Mushroom, Mojos.. and the list goes on. We also have five points and they have cute shops and great food places also. We have a few Frozen yogurt places to go to which are really nice and delicious.
