Sharks edge Predators in overtime in playoff thriller
ORLANDO | The Jacksonville Sharks and Orlando Predators took their AFL rivalry to a new zenith Saturday night in a stunning first-round playoff game that had just about everything — big plays on offense by the game’s biggest players, defensive touchdowns, four missed point-after-touchdown kicks, late-game controversy, and, if that wasn’t enough, overtime. Derrick Ross, the all-time leading rusher in arena history, had four second-half TD runs, including one in overtime. More importantly, he add..>> view originalJacksonville business leader helps establish chamber of commerce ...
As Puerto Rico struggles to stabilize its economic situation in the face of massive government debt, a First Coast business leader is in the U.S. territory this summer seeking to give a solid footing to small businesses on the island.

It’s almost become the soccer rulebook’s 18th law. When the opponent scores first, the Jacksonville Armada never wins. The Armada nearly ended that run Saturday, but Omar Bravo’s late goal forced Jacksonville to settle for a 2-2 draw with the 10-man Carolina RailHawks at the Baseball Grounds. Charles Eloundou netted his first goals for the Armada, becoming the first player to score twice in a game for the team since Alhassane Keita on Aug. 8, 2015, in a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

On May 5, as his semester of study in Costa Rica came to an end, Nick Johnson put a video on Facebook explaining to friends what he was going to do, starting the next day. Over the next couple of months, he told them, he would do “off the grid” and slowly make his way home to Jacksonville, traveling only by land. He explained: “Every day we have a choice.

There was a time when my colleague Ron Littlepage would start a column by saying he was “spinning around the news dial.” You knew what followed were some short takes on current events. More recently, he calls it “mousing around the news of the day.” I’ll tip my hat to him and give this column a millennial twist. Let’s call it “scrolling down my news feed.” Let’s get into it.

Dear Call Box: My question is whether there was a wholesale renaming of streets in Riverside. I’ve recently moved into the area and having an interest in history, found an old plat that lists the current street name and within each square what looks to be a former street name. C.Z., Riverside Dear C.Z.: Your sleuthing led to the right conclusion. Riverside streets did change names, and in some cases, a couple of times. The area in question is the original plat of Riverside, which is roughly ..>> view originalJacksonville police responding to reported undetermined death on ...
