Ennis, thanks for sharing more great and well researched Jax history.  Always interesting.  Again, too bad our City doesn't know how to exploit its historical roots.  We are missing out on huge tourist opportunities not to mention better connecting our own residents to the city they live in.

Re: Wynn Hotel, too bad that wasn't trademarked.  The Las Vegas and other versions might owe some big time rights fees  :).

Re: The Ritz, saying it "was partially razed" is a big understatement.  I believe all that is left of the original building is the corner with the the sign.  Still, a great project and glad its memory lives on.
