Jacksonville in the minds of others

Karen Mathis of the Times-Union recently wrote a balanced piece on how Jacksonville is perceived by outsiders. Mathis was recently in Missouri to speak at a tax conference (the after-party there must have been WILD!) and informally surveyed some of the attendees on their thoughts on Jacksonville. It seemed like the majority had no opinion of our city. Of those who did know of Jacksonville, they had relatively little positive to say.
