Davidson Cares’ first event of the school year, Novemberfest, was a huge success racking in over $8,000 for Wards Creek Elementary, Mill Creek Elementary, Palencia Elementary and Pacetti Bay Middle School! World Golf Village parents, teachers, residents and friends had a great time at Mile Marker Brewing rocking out to Dos Gringos, enjoying the Moe’s Southwest Grill Taco Bar and bidding on amazing silent auction and raffle items all for the St. Johns County Schools.

Delicious ice cream and game day munchies are here! Dairy Dugout recently opened in World Golf Village’s West Town Place Plaza (next to Cino’s) and our WGV residents couldn’t be more excited for their weekly lunch specials and ice cream galore! I recently stopped by Dairy Dugout for a sweet treat and was very pleased with my vanilla and chocolate swirl ‘Chang Up’ loaded with Reese’s Cups and Snickers.

You would be hard pressed to find a better example of dedication to community than Shelby Heinemann. A resident of Heritage Landing since 2004, Shelby has become a fixture in the World Golf Village scene. In fact, if you live here or have kids in the area’s schools, you have likely seen her busily helping out at school, showing properties to potential new residents, or smiling and waving at neighbors. For Shelby, it’s these seemingly small gestures that add up in a meaningful way.

Shelby has been a Property Manager with the Davidson Companies since May 2012 and boasts almost seven years of experience in the Property Management field – most of that experience garnered in World Golf Village. A mother of three, she is also an active education advocate within St. Johns County Schools and a Davidson Cares Board member. Davidson Cares is an organization that offers support for local schools, including Mill Creek Elementary, Wards Creek Elementary, Palencia Elementary, and Pacetti Bay Middle School.

If you ask Don Poppleton what inspired him and his wife Barbara to relocate from New England to World Golf Village more than 10 years ago, he might say it’s partly in the name.  A champion golfer, Don now enjoys beautiful views of the King & Bear from his back yard in Windmill Estates and close proximity to top notch courses and amenities.

Don has also secured a position as a notable contributor to the community.  He is currently serving in his second term on the Member Advisory Committee for the World Golf Village Golf Courses Club, and concluded his term as President last year.

We recently caught up with Don to ask some questions about himself and his experience here in World Golf Village.

Throughout his professional life, Bo Strange has strived to fulfill a need and his more than 30-year career has centered on providing much needed public services. Today, Bo stays true to his passion by delivering a very important service that most of us take for granted – portable restrooms. His company Lovely Loo provides facilities for a wide range of events throughout Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.

Clients of Lovely Loo, a small family owned business, have come to expect refreshingly personalized service as well as top quality amenities that flush away the typical preconceptions about portable restrooms. We’re talking wood floors, fresh mints, and event-coordinated flower arrangements. Lovely Loo offers it all. We recently caught up with Bo to learn more.

Davidson Realty’s team took an afternoon to leave our World Golf Village-based office and make our way to Julington Creek for lunch at Blackstone Grille. We had heard wonderful things about the bistro style restaurant located at Bartram Oaks Walk (close to the intersection of SR13 San Jose and Race Track Road), but we had to try it for ourselves. Our group of 30 was graciously greeted and seated in a private room. We had exceptional service and scrumptious food!

Blackstone Grille offered us a fixed menu to cater to our large group size and help with timing of the lunch. We had to get back to the real world at some point, I guess! Especially with all the home sales and real estate closings our amazing agents have been handling.

This month, Davidson Realty President Sherry Davidson and I are back with more about Riverside Homes. We visited President of Riverside Homes, Matt Roberts, to go behind the scenes on what sets Riverside Homes apart from other local builders. We learned a lot about what distinguishes them -from their design, customization and construction process to their customer service and energy efficiency. Join us in The Wheaton Model in Durbin Crossing to learn more!

Jacksonville truly is a hot spot for great local brews.  That’s what the Davidson Realty marketing team discovered when we recently scouted out the best local breweries in town. We started our self-sacrificing journey at Aardwolf Brewing Company in San Marco, stopped by for a delicious beer at Bold City Brewery before ending our journey at Intuition Ale Works in Riverside. If you are on board to support local businesses, enjoy delectable beers and meet some great people, you’re going to want to check out these Jacksonville breweries.
