A Long and Winding Road.
The story of Jacksonville stretches back more than 200 years. It involves dozens of businesses and organizations that helped shape our city and it has no shortage of characters and personalities-both good and bad-who made decisions that resulted in the building of the region in which we live. 904 Magazine sifted through a variety of sources to compile a chronological list of more than 100 business-related happenings that got us where we are today. In a nutshell: this is who we are and what we've done over the last 219 years. |

Running On Empty.
Economists predict a slow and long recovery in 2010. Does Northeast Florida have what it takes to survive and prosper over the long haul? They say the recession is over. They say that but it sure doesn't feel like it in Jacksonville. As far as numbers go, the First Coast still has a long way to go to return to pre-recession levels. |

On the Waterfront.
Jacksonville is a port city. It has been from the day a French vessel captained by Jean Ribault sailed up the St. Johns River in 1562, and chances are it always will be. While many likely identify the port with large ships, cranes and heavy equipment, a closer look reveals that there’s a lot more to it than that. Truth is, there’s a decidedly feminine site to JaxPort and the work conducted at its various maritime terminals. |

Sharp Dressed Men
Off the field, these Jacksonville Jaguars dress to impress. Stripped
of his jersey, pads and helmet, the typical NFL athlete is a tough
one to dress. Beefy neck, broad shoulders, trim waist and bulging thighs.
And, if he’s on the Jaguars, he’s probably stretching past the six-foot
mark. Off-the-rack anything is definitely not an option. But with discretionary
incomes considerably larger than those of the average person, professional
athletes can afford to look, well, professional. Whether they can choose
to is another story.
