Urban Neighborhoods: Allendale

[thelakelander]

Good stuff Lake. So where exactly is the Paxon boundaries that set apart from the other two neighborhoods (Allendale, and Woodstock)?

Allendale is north of West 5th Street and Woodstock is south of it. The area considered to be Paxon, straddles Edgewood Avenue, to the west of these neighborhoods. Melson appears to be the split for some of the early 20th century plats but the city's neighborhoods map defines both Allendale and Woodstock going all the way to Edgewood.

Another great article about forgotten Jacksonville. Be careful taking pictures around NS Simpson Yard, though. NS railroad dicks love to harass us railfans.

Any old photos of Kings Road crossing the tracks before the "Old" and "New" monikers?

Regent Aerospace Corp. invests in Jacksonville property

by Karen Brune Mathis, Managing Editor

Regent Aerospace Corp., a California-based company that repairs aircraft interiors, has invested in a Northwest Jacksonville warehouse-distribution center.
The company has not responded to questions about its plans for the property, including whether it will rehabilitate the aged, vacant property at 1507 Industrial Blvd. for a maintenance, repair and overhaul facility.

That possibility is a question because the city confirmed it has been contacted about the site.

Monica Landeros, public communications officer for Mayor Alvin Brown, said Thursday a consultant inquired about the property with the city Office of Economic Development.
