Wow Jax has changed .
An Asian population now.
I think its a what you suspect.
Ebay speculators who hope to rip off which is usually Asians or Russian too .
Lots of Russians in N calif . Spring breakers not stopped here either .
Unemployment in St. Johns County (St. Augustine) is 2.2% now. Jax/Duval is 2.9%. Asians, Hispanics and everybody else are migrating here to fill jobs. The old time area of west Jax, home to Lynyrd Skynyrd, is fast being Hispanized. In a decade it will look no different than much of Orlando.
I remember being at a garage sale in SF right after the first big wave of post Soviet Russians arrived. Being hustlers they hit the garage sale circuit hard. Somebody was asking a couple bucks for a pair of jeans and a Russian said “how about 10 cents?” I learned something there about Russians from that. Ha ha.
Jax will. end up like S Fl .
I recall the retires in Broward ran there in the 90s
