Orange park here. Job market isn't as bad as everyone says it is. I moved from md in august and only took me a month to find a good paying job.

I live in Fruit cove south of down town. Its really not that hard finding a job if you just gotta look around im sure youll find one look at ads on craigslist. I know of a few guys that are on here that live around my area and we normally all ride out to a sonic on beach blvd on Saturdays. The parking lots behind the sonic fill up and theres normally a few fbodys out there but mainly rice and wiggers in there crown vics.

Yeah I see atleast one fbody a day. Haven't made it out to the sonic meet yet because I really don't know anyone who cruises out to it and I'm not trying to be that guy who just looks around because he doesn't know anyone lol. Once my friend gets his motor back in his s4 I'm sure I'll ride down check it out and hopefully meet some members on here.

thanks for the info yall. i am hoping to just transfer with my current work but if that doesn't happen i'll be looking. i am possibly moving to jax beach or somewhat around there. if the place i am looking at falls through i will be looking around.

i am on jaxstreetscene.com and i have raced in fl for years in the past. i figured there would be a decent scene around there.

Always depends on what kind of job you are looking for. Lsx scene is pretty good.

Check out rivercityperformance.com we do a cruise or something every month. Good group of guys from here and some that are not.

I work in Gainesville but I dont hang out there much.
