I don't know... but it was very cute & friendly. I am surprise at how domesticated it was!

No the goat didn't need a latte they had an order for a goat's milk latte. Way better than rice milk.

I totally agree, only in Riverside. The neighborhood is so full of characters, very Jacksonville, quirky, weird, odd, whatever, its Riverside/Five Points. I'm just not diggin the punk rock weirdos much though.

More often than not, it's just a look that passes with time.  I once dyed every last piece of clothing I owned, black, and wore combat boots with short skirts, flannel shirts and torn fishnets.  You'd never believe it seeing me now.

It's all in fun and when they get older they'll look back and think the same thing we all did, "what the hell was I thinking?!?"

The ones you have to worry about are the 40 and 50-somethings still dressing that way and hanging out with the late-teens and 20-somethings.  Now, THAT's weird.

Love Riverside, but where are all the peeps? I see lots and lots of cars but hardly any peeps. Was this just the photo's or time? or is no one out and about on the sidewalks and parks?

I am sure the camera man was focusing on other things.  Riverside/Avondale is one of the most, if not the most, pedestrian friendly neighborhoods in the City.  Good pictures too.  Thanks for posting them.   :)

Depending on to zoom of the camera used, you'll find that most people don't appreciate random guys jumping out of the bushes to snap close up shots of them enjoying these areas.  That's probably the reason there aren't as many shots of people.
