"You should visit Omaha again -- perhaps this Spring or Summer."

I really am sorry you took offense. I didn't mean that Omaha wasn't a nice area or that the people were not friendly (just that sometimes it did smell bad). I loved my time there, but hated the cold winters. Please except my apologies, I didn't mean to upset you. Thanks for your offer, I might just take you up on it. I miss Spaghetti Works, the restaurants downtown, and Little Kings submarine sandwiches (the best!).

Whitey's Fish Camp? Be sure to bring your gun along. It's the last redneck outpost on Fleming Island. Scary place.

And deadly and expensive, for Ray Lewis.

Greeley, CO has livestock and that place stunk, in 1972.

What's wrong with Jacksonville? They gave us Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Greetings from Tampa, Tony. For a town that obviously doesn't deserve the Superbowl, we sure do get a lot of them here, don't we? If you don't want to come here, though, that's fine by us. We have enough jerkwad tourists as it is.

Bite me.

Love,

You didn't really upset me (and I'm sorry if I gave you that impression.)

I enjoy the Spaghetti Works (although I don't get there often enough).

Did you ever have a Runza? Since DC does not have them, having a Runza is always on my "must do" list whenever I visit Omaha.

I Knew IT!

You are the DU poster known as "LOL"!!

You must know ROTFLMAO.

I love Jax - granted the airport will be stretched to capacity - but downtown is safe and enjoyable - especially that place with the outdoor food court where local musicians play

Hey - Ronnie VanZant called west side, home - cant be all bad

Im partial to St Augustine too (except the old strip)

and everyone there is polite and friendly

What, are you kidding me? My mother-in-law, and her little group of blue-haired church ladies do lunch there all the time.

I'm the last red-neck in fleming island.

I lived in Jacksonville for a year in the late 1980s and the most delightful memory I took away how great the food was at Clark's Fish Camp. At the time it was not part of a suburb but was a way's out. I did not think it was still in business. Now if I can only find the place I would go back.

[January24th]

Yeah, I used to go there, too. Great catfish nuggets. Lousy service, though.

However, one Friday night convinced me...and it was only 9:00 p.m.!! I felt lucky to leave without a scratch. If the Middleburg folks would just find their own catfish somewhere else. LOL!!

We moved before I got to high school. I did attend Fletcher Junior High in Jax Beach.

It may just be a lizard, but it's a TASTY lizard!

[FatherofFive]

Clark's Fish Camp has the best Fried fish. So light. However, the PETA people would freak out. There are stuffed animals everywhere.

I would tell you what I think about Tony Kornheiser, Hugh Douglas, and every other fathead (AND fatass in the case of Mr. Douglas) who has impugned my city, but I do not want to end my four year run as a Freeper by getting bounced for profanity.

Jacksonville will do just fine, thank you... and we will (perhaps unfortunately) enter the Super Bowl rotation after the world gets a look at us this February. By that point, everyone will have forgotten about all of the nasty things hurled at my city by no talent windbags like Tony. The only downside to this entire situation (other than the completely ridiculous traffic I've had to deal with through months of construction) is the coming influx of yankees toting furniture instead of tourist dollars.

If anyone from the great, white, unwashed north wants to challenge me on my assertion that Jacksonville and the outlying areas of St. Augustine and Gainesville are, in fact, THE CENTER OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE, please ping me... I will be glad to Freepmail you a photo essay via links that will sway your opinion... as long as you promise not to move here.

[expatpat]

Kornheiser is in DC.

[Ginifer]

" Did you ever have a Runza?"

No, never had the opportunity. Will have to try that when I get back for a visit. Have a good one!
