A recent study named Jacksonville the most boring city in the country, but it looks like you, dear readers, aren’t convinced. In Monday’s newsletter, we asked you if Jacksonville truly is boring, and just over 40% of respondents said “no way.” We appreciate your optimism about the city! On the other hand, 36.8% agreed with the study and feel like there’s nothing fun to do here. Everyone else said it just depends on the week.
