FWIW, Laura Street is one of the most urban, mixed-use, vibrant places we have in Jacksonville. That's why it won the award 2 years ago. If you compare the street today with where it was just 5 years ago, definite progress has been made. And imagine where it could be 5 years from now!

"Great Street."?   Not yet. But it will be fab once the Laura St Trio and Barney Bank have been re-done.  Couple of years off.

Is there any residential there now, to speak of?
