Port Jacksonville closed? Just posted in "news/activism" No further details. Don't have time to check if already posted on the TM.
Isn't this the area where we had heard about the ME'rs, not long ago, who were asking questions and taking pictures? It was something in regards to the Superbowl, next years SB that is.
And also, is this the area where we read quite a while ago about the ME'rs that were in a small boat that were observed taking pictures of the underside of a bridge or something? As I remember that story, they were not dressed for boating but were "well dressed". Sorry I can not remember more about this but it has been a while.
