Is San Marco Blvd. losing a lane in each direction?

Yes, replaced by street parking along most sections.

So glad to see 7-11 opening two palces downtown. Why did it take them all of two seconds to decide to build downtown and with every other palce, it is like pulling teeth? I like the 7-11 sign on the corner of the garage. With the courthosue not too far away and Everbank right there too, I think they picked a prime spot with lots of traffic.

It is interesting to see how fast 7-11 moved on those locations. On a side night I noticed the purple illuminated directional signs hanging on the traffic signal mast arm poles downtown are being repaired, they actually light up again at night now.

FINALLY!!! Now on to fix the LEDs on the Main Street bridge.....

I know Jason, it only took 4 years!

M Shack isn't going into the old TAG in San Marco anymore.

What's going on with 1029 Park Street? You have it on the update, but no commentary on whether someone is moving in?

The bridge lighting could be the Mayor's legacy project

Would also look fantastic on our Thursday Night game against the Colts.

Jason, I have given up on that!

Is T-Flats just using the old Sushi Cafe spot or did they also take over the long-empty space next door (used to be a phone store)?

Not sure he wants a legacy project like that....the lights don't work (they get water in them I think)

I actually like the way the bridge looks now. I thought the LED was weird looking and a bit overkill. Light the top in the same manner as the rest of the bridge is lit, at the most...

Jason · July 30, 2012, 10:32:12 AM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the lights would have to be replaced because of the water intrusion. I thought they added a lot of vibrancy to the night time skyline. Hang in there FSUJax, maybe we'll beat some sence into him

Any idea if the Well Fargo tower will be lighting up in teal this year?
