All signs point to my WordPress install being completely cleaned. I’ve obviously not restored the complete Urban Jacksonville theme, but I’m on my way. At some point this year, we’re redesigning the whole thing and hopefully all this will just be a bad memory.
Check out the label from our new Urban Jacksonville Weekly Bold Bean Coffee: The Back Alley Blend. Look for it at the RAM. Thanks to Caitlin Robinson, my awesome co-worker, for the illustration and label design.
Finally Dwayne and T.K. are back. Thanks to righteous haiku writer, comic drawer and all around rad guy Birdie. If you missed Dwayne and T.K. here are some the back issues.

Springfield Car Wash Heading for Appeal
The Springfield car was hype machine is revving back up
Silas Jones is probablly silently singing that O Jay’s song to him self: they smile up in your face, backstabbers. Last month Silas’ carwash was approved by the SPAR and now there are behind-the-scenes efforts to get the approval reversed by some on the SPAR board.
Many supporters of the carwash say this negatively impacts the development of the neighborhood by devoting energy to sqaushing a project instead of working with the business owner to help him push his project forward. At this point Silas Jones has spent about $400,000, according to some.

Why Jacksonville Should Immediately Invest In Rail
Late Night Cookery with Bert Noshirt
The BBB Warehouse at 1520 Main Street is closing. We announced this Saturday at the Live Urban Jacksonville Weekly 50th Show extravaganza. Sources close to the matter say Mack Bissette from SRG called to say the the space had to be vacated. The specific reasons or future plans for the space are unknown.
Future Plans
Zombie Bikes is rumored to be moving to a similar location in Springfield. Burro Bags is looking forward to finding a more retail oriented spot in the urban core.
