No, that's usually reserved for you. Anyway good for St. Augustine.

It is good for St Augustine, because being a tourist trap is their M.O. & an aquarium falls right in line with that.

I know this has been mentioned before, but using west part of the shipyards for a "JAX Craft Beer Garden and Pour House" would be something that can attract locals on a regular basis and "craft beer tourism". It can showcase all local craft beers and perhaps have a local brewhouse. Trying to think of something unique, not too expensive ( compared to aquarium) and can grow in the future with demand. Needs to be done right and not cheaply to attract people to visit. Most successful ventures start small and grow with demand. This is where JAX falls flat. No vision to even try something like this. You never know, 10 years from now it could be the largest "mixed use" beer garden in the US.

We need another round over here!

Ben, The guy with Intuition Ale needs to make a new toast (pitch) to the DIA with Shipyards. Why not? I hope he does. The DIA voted to take back control and the power that they gave to OED before the new guy Aundra Wallace started in August. This was done at the 1/15/14 DIA Board meeting with resolution 2014-01-03.

They just changed all the Rules with Resolution 2014-01-01 the Retail Enhancement Plan at the 1/15/14 DIA Board meeting. So Ben if you still have the fire in the belly then go for it.

This city just loves beatin down the little guy.

First of all, you're the one that brought up this 'dying thread' a day later; Then you're gonna say 'lets move on' when I make a differing comment from yours? So as the 'thread regulator' that you're portraying, people can only agree with your sentiment? Anything opposite of what you think, the thread is over, right? You seem very reasonable....
