Jacksonville's Westside Information Blog

I have been trying to rack my brain to come up with ideas for this blog. I am still doing research on some subjects that I would like to do and have yet to come up with some extra gas money to spend some time on the Westside checking out new places to go and things to do. I have found a website that has some information that might be worth checking out. The Jax4Kids website is one of them. Check out the listing here: http://jax4kids.com/index.php?page=places%3E%3Ewestside

One of these on the list is the Diamond D Ranch. My family and I had a great time out there several years ago when our company had an employee picnic there. They have a lovely website at: http://www.diamonddranchinc.com/m_23.asp. The events they have are kind of expensive but if you love to ride a horse then it is probably worth it.

The other place on the list that I can hardily recommend is the Chamblin Bookmine. It is one bookstore that I have visited on several occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The shelves and stacks of used books, searching through the piles until you find what you are looking for and to have the ability to trade in your own books for store credit. They use to give you cash but I guess that practice had to be changed. They also have a website you should check out before you go at: http://www.chamblinbookmine.com/
