^^that's one of the most glowing representations of Jax I have ever seen. I rolled my eyes when I first saw your post, but it's actually really nice without being over the top.

I think it comes off much better than the "Meet Tulsa" article...not that I'm biased or anything  ::)

Great find Juker!
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Excellent find.  It is VERY nice to read something that speaks so vividly of Jacksonville's highlights versus her faults.

Thanks for sharing Juker.

There is actually a lot more activity going on than i had expected, especially in San Marco.  Is the East San Marco demolition just to prep for the Publix? what's the story here?  I had not heard about High Tide Burrito before this, but I'm pretty excited to try it out.

East San Marco is still delayed, but the developers went ahead and demolished the remaining buildings on the site.


I believe it was part of the agreement with the San Marco Preservation Society that if nothing had been built within two years, the developers had to demolish the unused buildings for safety concerns. It certainly looks a lot nicer on that corner without anything there. The San Marco business owners asked to use it as parking but St. Joe declined for liability reasons. Does anyone has a link to the article containing the site plan for that property?
If you will it dude, it is no dream.
