YOGIS<br />
HELP OTHERS FIND<br />
THEIR CORE OF HEALTH<br />
BY COURTNEY CLARK<br />
jack<br />
Practicing yoga for almost two decades, Shri Hamilton-Hubbard<br />
describes the heartbeat of <strong>Jack</strong>sonville as home to “hippies with<br />
businesses and mortgages.”<br />
“I am all about the Urban Core,” says Hamilton-Hubbard, a yoga<br />
instructor at the Shala in San Marco. “I love Riverside, I love San Marco,<br />
I love Springfield. They’re not making [neighborhoods like] them<br />
anymore.”<br />
Hamilton-Hubbard identifies with hippies, describing them as socially<br />
conscious and aware, pro-earth, and pro-peace.<br />
She certainly looks the part.<br />
With dreads as part of her personal expression — and in part to lock<br />
in her Kundalini energy (or creative life force) — she also has the Indian<br />
“om” symbol inked on her forearm. This yogi believes her practice helps<br />
detox her life and focus spiritually.<br />
“If you can quiet your mind, you can remember who you are,”<br />
Hamilton-Hubbard says of yoga. The discipline is progressive, continually<br />
breaking down barriers within the practitioner to become more aware<br />
internally and externally.<br />
Yoga provides a path to what she terms “active relaxation.” Before<br />
beginning the practice, she said she never had been able to find a way to be<br />
peaceful and dynamic simultaneously.<br />
She says meditation at the end of the yogi’s practice is pivotal. This is<br />
when people can refuel their Prana, or energy with intelligence. Hamilton-<br />
Hubbard describes this as “the glue that holds the universe and the body<br />
together.”<br />
As for her relationship with <strong>Jack</strong>sonville, the yogi describes the<br />
community as comforting and familiar, especially within the Shala.<br />
Hamilton-Hubbard is proud of the loving and supportive environment she<br />
has quietly helped nurture.<br />

“I don’t care<br />
what you’re into,<br />
you’re going<br />
to come to<br />
Shantytown at<br />
some point and<br />
enjoy the hell<br />
out of it.”<br />
SHANTYTOWN PUB THROUGH<br />
THE EYES OF A REGULAR<br />
BY MATT PITTMAN<br />
jack<br />
Why have me describe Shantytown when I’ve never been there? Instead, let’s hear from someone who seems<br />
to know the place like the back of her hand.<br />
SHOE BOAT<br />
It’s a thing at Shantytown Pub<br />
Ingredients ...<br />
Nasty-ass beer<br />
Nasty-ass shoe<br />
How to make it ...<br />
Pour beer into shoe. Drink up.<br />
Meet Jenna Richey, local<br />
artist, coffee slinger at Vagabond,<br />
distributor of frosty beverages at<br />
Spliffs and a regular at Shantytown<br />
Pub in Springfield.<br />
Matt: How would you describe<br />
Shantytown?<br />
Jenna: The best hole-in-the-wall<br />
you’ve ever been to. The first time<br />
I ever came to Shantytown it was<br />
filled with smoke, there’s country<br />
music playing and there were kids<br />
in the corner doing “Shoe boats”.<br />
M: Shoe boats?<br />
J: You drink a nasty-ass beer<br />
out of someone’s nasty-ass shoe<br />
(laughter). The bar is a block<br />
from my house so I decided this<br />
would be my Happy Hour spot.<br />
I continued to come, and I fell in<br />
love with the place.<br />
M: What makes Shantytown<br />
special?<br />
J: When you come here you’re<br />
going to see all types of people.<br />
The uppity Springfield people,<br />
punk kids, homeless people, you<br />
see all walks of life. That’s why<br />
Jenna Richey<br />
I love Shantytown, everyone<br />
likes it. I don’t care what you’re<br />
into, you’re going to come to<br />
Shantytown at some point and<br />
enjoy the hell out of it.<br />
M: Shantytown has a lot<br />
of character. Describe the<br />
atmosphere.<br />
J: You’re walking into a smokefilled<br />
bar. Someone’s going to<br />
greet you, holler at you. Yell at<br />
you. You’ll see crazy shit on the<br />
walls. All these huge animal prints.<br />
You might see a fight. You might<br />
see someone dancing on the bar.<br />
You might see Twinkie, who is a<br />
local drag rapper. Out back there’s<br />
graffiti covering the walls. If<br />
it’s winter, you’ll see a fire. You<br />
may see Ian (Ranne, owner of<br />
Shantytown) back here cooking<br />
oysters. You hear the noises of the<br />
city. It’s the best.<br />
M: What’s your favorite part of the<br />
bar?<br />
J: It’s a combination of everything.<br />
Great prices, but most importantly<br />
the people. Even if you don’t know<br />
the people at the bar, you’ll know<br />
them before you walk out. It feels<br />
like a family, Shantytown is my<br />
family. Also, I think if you say<br />
Shantytown, people are going to<br />
remember “Shoe boats”, because<br />
it’s a thing here. And, Matt About<br />
Jax, I think you should do it<br />
sometime.<br />

DANCING<br />
DOWNTOWN<br />
WITH<br />
JACKSONVILLE’S STARS<br />
BY COURTNEY CLARK<br />
jack<br />
jacksonville gets a little snazzier<br />
with its annual Dancing with the<br />
Stars event on Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 4.<br />
A Social Affair Dance<br />
Studio (ASA) and Downtown’s<br />
<strong>Jack</strong>sonville Children’s Chorus<br />
(JCC) partner every 18 months<br />
to put on the show at Jacoby<br />
Symphony Hall in the Times-Union<br />
Center for the Performing Arts.<br />
Local stars are paired with<br />
professional partners — dance<br />
teachers at ASA — and compete to<br />
raise money.<br />
Funds are donated to the JCC<br />
for its programs and scholarships.<br />
If it were not for the children<br />
in the JCC, Jake Gordon probably<br />
wouldn’t step foot on the dance<br />
floor. But when he was invited to<br />
participate in Dancing with the<br />
Stars, he knew he had to help raise<br />
money for the JCC — especially<br />
since it’s located in Downtown, the<br />
heart of <strong>Jack</strong>sonville Gordon loves<br />
and strives to improve.<br />
“I used to be able to dance.<br />
Then I had kids. Now I dance like<br />
your father,” Gordon said.<br />
Although Gordon has only<br />
been CEO of Downtown Vision,<br />
Inc. (DVI) since 2015, he has<br />
been “bullish” on <strong>Jack</strong>sonville<br />
for several years. He brings his<br />
16 jack | JUNE 1-14, <strong>2016</strong><br />
background in urban<br />
development and real<br />
estate to DVI, a non-profit<br />
that works with the City of<br />
<strong>Jack</strong>sonville to build and maintain<br />
the city’s core. The number one<br />
way to do this, he says, is to<br />
increase the number of businesses<br />
and residents that are located in the<br />
heart of <strong>Jack</strong>sonville.<br />
Art Walk and Hemming Park<br />
events show the potential for<br />
<strong>Jack</strong>sonville to become a 24-<br />
hour city, a change that will give<br />
Downtown more vitality. Gordon<br />
says businesses are relocating to<br />
Downtown, so now the goal is to<br />
make the area a great environment<br />
for people to live. Local<br />
organizations — such as MOCA,<br />
the Chamber, and the Florida<br />
Theatre — help out and want to<br />
see this happen, as well.<br />
“It’s way out of my comfort<br />
zone,” Gordon says of dancing,<br />
“but I’m definitely a sucker to help<br />
children for charity.”<br />

EMPHASIS ON FAMILY<br />
AT BISCOTTIS<br />
BY ANTHONY NEWKIRK JR.<br />
jack<br />
Sometimes going out to eat at<br />
your favorite restaurant has<br />
more to do about nostalgia then<br />
food.<br />
No matter what you’ve gone<br />
through life. No matter how many<br />
restaurants open or close. There<br />
is that one restaurant — that one<br />
place — the one that draws you<br />
back.<br />
For me is that place is Biscottis<br />
in Avondale. It’s so full of good<br />
food, good service and good<br />
memories.<br />
For me, it’s been 10 short years<br />
of living in <strong>Jack</strong>sonville, and six of<br />
those years have been spent dining<br />
at Biscottis.<br />
The brunch service drew me<br />
to Biscottis. I am a lover of all<br />
things brunch and this place just<br />
makes my taste buds all happy. So<br />
it’s good to know that throughout<br />
the years they have keep some<br />
of my favorite menu items like<br />
the Biscottis Omelet, filled with<br />
pancetta, smoked ham, onion and<br />
cheddar jack cheese. If you have<br />
a little bit of a sweet tooth, then<br />
you’ll have to start the day with the<br />
Creme Brulee French Toast, topped<br />
with Orange-Honey Mascarpone<br />
Cream.<br />
Biscottis’ brunch was the first<br />
time Amanda and I took our oldest<br />
son, Connor, for his first outing<br />
as a newborn. We were hungry<br />
and nervous, but the environment<br />
and the great service, eased our<br />
jitters. Family is what Biscottis is<br />
all about. When it comes to local<br />
restaurants, this is the place where<br />
I take the family. It’s a place where<br />
you should take yours, too.<br />
Whether it’s Mothers Day,<br />
Easter or any other special family<br />
occasion — Biscottis is the place to<br />
celebrate. Menu options are filled<br />
with a lot of tasty signature salads,<br />
pizzas & sandwiches for lunch,<br />
and its dinner specials change<br />
weekly and seasonally. It also has a<br />
delectable kids menu.<br />
Even though brunch brought me<br />
to Biscottis, its the desserts that are<br />
one of the main reasons I go now.<br />
They’re just so damn delicious.<br />
When you walk into the<br />
restaurant, you can’t help but<br />
notice all those beautiful cakes and<br />
desserts staring you in the face. It<br />
makes you want to skip your meal<br />
and head straight to dessert.<br />
But what to chose?<br />
I usually go with the German<br />
Chocolate Cake. I believe it’s the<br />
best of its kind in <strong>Jack</strong>sonville.<br />
But if that’s not your thing, the<br />
bread pudding is pretty amazing,<br />
too. They usually keep a multitude<br />
of cakes and other desserts on<br />
rotation.<br />
Seriously, it’s just something<br />
that has to be experienced.<br />

<strong>Jack</strong>sonville’s restaurant culture is an ever-evolving affair.<br />
As older spots plateau and fade, new places come on strong,<br />
meaning there’s never a shortage of exciting places to explore.<br />
Here is one our favorite spots.<br />
« DREAMETTE<br />
Serving ice cream on Post Street in Murray Hill since 1948,<br />
DREAMETTE is one of the true hidden gems of <strong>Jack</strong>sonville.<br />
This place is the epitome of nostalgia. The walk-up ice cream<br />
shop offers soft-serve, along with banana splits, sundaes, and<br />
floats.<br />
Last year, Dreamette was voted the No. 1 ice cream parlor in<br />
Florida by Foursquare.<br />
Fair warning: There’s almost always a line, and Dreamette only<br />
accepts cash.<br />

“The community is growing because<br />
of a basic human need for connection and<br />
an increasing feeling of safety to connect<br />
within Riverside.”<br />
«<br />
Bethany<br />
Crawley<br />
Lotus Yoga<br />
<strong>Jack</strong>sonville’s energy is<br />
different, she says, in part because<br />
of the St. Johns River. In yoga, a<br />
river that flows into the ocean is<br />
special, even holy and auspicious.<br />
The yogi loves being so near what<br />
she views as a positive source of<br />
energy.<br />
“To be right there by the river<br />
is amazing. There’s something<br />
energetically about the river that is<br />
helpful to us,” Hamilton-Hubbard<br />
said.<br />
After climbing a set of stairs<br />
in a Stockton Street alleyway,<br />
finding a yoga studio at the top is<br />
a pleasant surprise. That’s exactly<br />
what students find when they come<br />
across Lotus Yoga, a communitybased<br />
studio in Riverside. Coowner<br />
Bethany Crawley has been<br />
practicing for about eight years.<br />
After an injury, she said yoga<br />
helped her come back to her body<br />
and shift her self-awareness.<br />
As soon as she speaks,<br />
the instructor’s soft, guiding<br />
voice relaxes students before<br />
class begins. With a focus on<br />
mindfulness — Crawley describes<br />
it as a way to hold our attention<br />
in the same place as our body —<br />
her family history as storytellers<br />
becomes obvious as she teaches.<br />
She pairs conversation with poses,<br />
encouraging students to become<br />
more mindful of their actions and<br />
reactions.<br />
Some of Crawley’s unique<br />
skills include teaching seniors, the<br />
physically restricted and helping<br />
out in the medical field. “I’ve<br />
always loved old people,” she<br />
says with a laugh about her desire<br />
to help the elderly. She teaches<br />
four days a week at St. Vincent’s<br />
Hospital as part of the Ornish Heart<br />
Disease Reversal Program. The<br />
cardiac patients involved, she says,<br />
have been burdened with so many<br />
physical limitations they are just<br />
happy to be moving.<br />
This yogi moved to Riverside<br />
when she came to <strong>Jack</strong>sonville<br />
around 1997, and she has seen<br />
the area change significantly. She<br />
says the community is growing<br />
because of a basic human need<br />
for connection and an increasing<br />
feeling of safety to connect<br />
within Riverside — a place she<br />
calls “delicious” for people. For<br />
her, it’s like living in a village,<br />
and the safety to connect is the<br />
“community glue.”<br />
She describes the mix of<br />
students and those who live in<br />
and around Riverside as a “lovely<br />
melding,” consisting of the young,<br />
the beautifully marked, and those<br />
who have lived here all their lives.<br />
“I was watching Riverside<br />
just light up with locally owned<br />
businesses,” she said as her eyes<br />
seemed to light up, too.<br />
