J-Ro,
You'll love Jacksonville! Are you already here?
Where will you be working? It's important to live on the right side of town, compared to where you work, the traffic can be bad if you are in the middle of it all.
I've played in some golf tournments in Rhode Island before. And I also took my son to see RI School of Design, when he was thinking about colleges!!
If I can help you in anyway, let me know.
Jeannette
