Old Fuel space

It may be on the market for 500K, but it's only assessed at 144K

I understand that assessed values are generally much less than market but my point was that no wonder the owners have no reason to sell if they're paying next to nothing in property taxes.

It did have a serious roof problem and while it was being repaired the roofing contractor left the roof open in a thunderstorm.  There was a lot of damage inside from that incident.

Took the owner quite a while to settle the whole thing with the roofers insurance company.  (Deny, Delay, Defend)  It is sealed up again now, but no repairs have been done inside.

SunKing, there are a number of good places to see live music in Jacksonville, but not nearly as many as there should be in a metro area of our size. Most of what we do have are small venues with a max capacity of a few hundred people. We don't have much that's bigger than that, and as such we miss out on a lot of the bigger acts that would stimulate the culture and drive interest for shows at the smaller places.

That's not to say we don't have some great venues. We certainly do, and we have some terrific local bands as well as bands from other areas who come through regularly. But that's one area where Jacksonville really needs improvement.

Maybe its just nostalgia, but I would love to see a live music venue open back up in 5 points.   Sigh... How is it we have such a great area with no real live music??   Where is the closest place anyway?  Jackrabbits?  Shanty Town?  I know they used to do "some" live music at Yesterdays, but I have never seen anything significant there.    Speaking of which, I thought Fat Kat was going to open back up and do live music?   I think that building is cursed...

^Birdies does some live shows, but with Underbelly and Lomax Lodge gone there's really no more live music in Five Points any more (beyond cover bands playing at restaurants and bars).

There are other places nearby; there's Jack Rabbits of course, and some newer places downtown, like Burro Bar and the Phoenix Taproom, as well as Shanty Town. All in all there are some signs that things are looking up; a new place called 1904 is opening up next to Lit downtown, and CoRK is supposed to add a live music venue. The music scene in Jax has been frustrating for quite a long time; hopefully we're finally approaching a place where the number of venues will meet the clear demand.

Theres live music all over. Three layers has live music 3 days a week. That Deja vu place has live music at least 1 night. The Landing has live music every weekend. Tsi has it sometimes from what I hear.

[Atari007]

John I know those places are around but I am specifically talking about Riverside.  Tacachale, I guess your right about Birdies... but its so inconsistent.  I wish there were places that I could go see music within walking distance.  It would be awesome to have some music at cork!!

[Ernest Street]

^ I second that.
A performance area at Cork would be great. 


Late Edit:      And of course we will be keeping it in the neighborhood and serving no domestic swill here..Brian and Ben. Only Beer brewed within a 6 block radius.
Atari,everyone will want to move over here now.
