What's Happening in Jax.? Week of 7/29 to 8/4

Hey there! Welcome to the "What's Happening in Jax.?" blog. This started as a post on the Jacksonville subreddit last week, and at the suggestion of a user there (/u/agentroster), I've decided to set up a blog for this updates instead of doing them as a simple post. This has two benefits - one, it will be much easier to read, format and post. And two, it will open the list up to more than just the subreddit - a blog will allow this list to be shared on Facebook, Twitter, wherever you want! As always, please feel free to contact me with anything I've missed, and I'll gladly update the list and provide credit!
