I love that building.  Thanks for sharing the news on it.

Interesting article on why we are attracted to images of ruined places.  I promise, even though the words in the link suggest otherwise, the actual article doesn't having anything to do with pornography.

as the person who half-jokingly suggested the title in the first place, I would like to amend

Jacksonville Lost (and Found)

to

Jacksonville Lost....and Found

Jacksonville: In the Shadows sounds the most intriguing.

In general, they all sound pretty depressing.
What about:
Jacksonville: Lost Beauty Uncovered....

Anyway...good luck with the book. Can't wait to check it out. Funny enough, I put out a book about Jacksonville on my coffee table in the lounge at DG and someone stole it...but not the Alberto Vargas book of pin up girls...um ok.

but not the Alberto Vargas book of pin up girls

I've 'browsed the articles' in that book while at Dos a time or two

I chose Jacksonville's Crumbling History first,  Slumber second,  Abandoned and reclaimed 3rd.  All are good titles .

Btw... Painted columns and over tagging on front and Chelsea side of #4 yesterday.  I'm sure in no time , the tagging will be replaced. 

Cannot wait to see the finished product !!   Thanks to all whose efforts make this possible. I for one am appreciative!

Forgotten Jacksonville.
What 15 sites did you decide on?
I'm ready to pre-purchase.

I am too

In Light of the fact that someone finally destroyed School #4 by setting the Auditorium on fire (second time in two weeks now)  it may not be necessary to include it in the book.

Many in this community have been chomping at the bit, so to speak to see the school demolished.

I am sure now those of you will get your way.

Jacksonville Architecutal Heritage?

Also, the theme extends beyond architecture.  A few sites, such as Florida Machine & Foundry and Gateway Shopping Center are nothing special when it comes to architecture.

Is this the final vote or are you going to pair it down to the contenders?

Would be a shame to not include PS4 in the book just because of another fire. It is very important for the book just as it is an important part of Jax history. Even if it was turned into a dirt lot today, it would be just as important, if not more.
