JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – One year has ticked by since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, triggering lockdowns across the country as public health officials raced to get ahead of the deadly disease caused by novel coronavirus.
And there’s perhaps no better evidence of how much our lives have changed over the past year than the last photos we took on our camera phones before the March 11 declaration was issued.

Random Jax of Kindness (Copyright 2021 by WJXT News4Jax - All rights reserved.)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Packing a homemade lunch for a loved one, sharing a snack with a coworker and picking up litter at a park aren’t just great ways to brighten someone’s day they’re also a few of the ways you celebrated Random Acts of Kindness Day with us.
This unofficial holiday is celebrated annually on Feb. 17, and it’s all about doing your part, however big or small, to make a difference in our community. The general idea is that, since kindness is contagious, your actions will inspire others to give back and pay it forward.
Why not try these bars for National Drink Wine Day?

Restaurant Orsay (Jacksonville)
Lauren Verno: You always hear you get what you pay for, but that’s not true here. Orsay offers an amazing happy hour with $3-7 wines, and the atmosphere feels like everything should cost double. I’d recommend a glass of pinot noir with the truffle mac and cheese and $2 oysters. You won’t regret it.
Red’s Wine Bar (Green Cove Springs)
Travis Gibson: Located in historic downtown Green Cove Springs, Red’s offers a wide selection of wines from all over the world – from California to Australia – as well as live music, depending on the day.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We went through a lot in 2020. The beginning of the year was much like any other except social media was abuzz that 2020 was going to be a year of clarity, similar to receiving word from the eye doctor you have 20/20 vision.
