Who has it?

I don't.

Who has more than one free spot?

Visit Jacksonville!

Me and my co-workers park for free every day. On-street parking north of State and Union is free. The four block walk south isn't bad and if that's too much, hop on the Skyway.

Lake, Can you please tell me what the old historic structures are doing on the block of Jefferson between Church and Ashley? Beside feeding termites.

3 single family structures plus an old brick "thing."

3 historic shotgun houses and genovar hall.  Pretty much all that's left of Lavilla.  The city owns them all.

COJ moved the shotguns next to Genovar Hall, probably plus 15 years ago, after razing LaVilla. Originally, the planned to restore them and turn that entire block into a history museum type space. Obviously that didn't happen. Genovar Hall (the old brick thing) was a popular hotel and bar where Ray Charles played as a youngster while living in LaVilla. It was in better shape before a failed restoration project financed by incentives.

THANKS!! Always wondered what was up.

From the link circa 2015:

"Colin Bingham, CEO of Community Development Coalition Corp., said Genovar's Hall and the shotgun houses could be renovated to become six apartments or condominiums and three single-family homes."

If you say so.................................

Either start making sense or quit thread spamming, Noone.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Sure it's not COJ's strategic demolition reserve ?  ;D

I think we should appreciate that he has over 4000 posts making that much sense. That's an accomplishment of some sort.

troll better, noone.   if youre going to troll at least be good at it.  not sure if you find yourself clever but your posts just look like you had a stroke recently


MusicMan

He has a point. If all of downtown was free street parking would it not increase traffic and commerce for all downtown merchants?
