Cover Story
	The Source Book. A new edition to the Jacksonville Magazine annual schedule is The Source Book, a complete view of Northeast Florida covering everything from sports and pets to schools and restaurants. This exhaustive compilation of all things First Coast including a calendar of the year's big sporting events, a list of the "best" in local private clubs and ten great weekend getaway destinations. Heck, we even through in a 15-question trivia quiz that we believe would stump Old Hickory himself. If you don't know who Old Hickory is... well, the quiz is going to be brutal for you.

Features
	Shop “Til You Drop. We put together the ultimate guide to River City retail therapy. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. The shopping options on the First Coast are as varied as its many neighborhoods and the people who live in them. Knowing that, we prepared a primer for the newbie Jacksonville shopper-what to find where you are and where to find what you want.
	School Matters. Finding a quality education may be one of the biggest challenges that parents have when moving to a new location. And, in an area as large as Northeast Florida, the options seem endless. While actually visiting a school and seeing it for yourself is the best way to ultimately find the perfect match, we’ve put together a cheat sheet of sorts to help you figure out where to start.

Departments
	No Place Like Home. Don't apologize for Jacksonville; it doesn't do any good. Cranky sportswriters and disaffected transplants are nothing new and the young invariably think their hometown is a dud. Visitors have been complaining about the city since the 1600s. They admit to liking its residents but the city is never quite equal to other municipalities no matter how much changes.
	The Guide. Jacksonville Magazine's monthly 16-page guide to Northeast Florida food, fine dining and entertainment. Includes a feature story, restaurant listings, cork talk, neighborhood finds and more. [ Click here to download a pdf version of The Guide. ]
