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 />

celebration of Downtown <strong>Jack</strong>sonville, the heart of<br />

our city we love.”<br />

access JCC’s choral education, and being a chorus kid helped me develop the confidence that<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 />
