I walked through the grounds this morning and it looks like their was some unexpected problems. Quite a bit of the amphitheater has been dug up which was previously covered with mulch. I hope this doesn't cause any delays.
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

Maybe friday evenings, but yeah, they cant do it at lunchtime on Fridays. It is a corporate parking lot.

I'm looking forward to it, as well.  We'll definitely have our Metro Jacksonville cameras out there.

I know I'll be there.  I just haven't decided whether I'm going to drive or take a bicycle.

QuoteThe quotes are a little breathless.  One wonders how the city will be revolutionized or made more New York Like, for example, or how the whole concept of urban living will be transformed, but the spirit of the thing is right.

Agreed. I think it's great for the neighborhood and even surrounding neighborhoods but not a total transformation of the city. Before my new position where I work I handled accounts mostly in Portland OR.
I asked people out there about their Saturday Market and a lot of them didn't know what I was talking about.
Others who were familliar with the Market said it was really great. I think Jacksonville will be simmilar.

personally I've been excited about this since it was posted here long ago. It would be nice to meet others from the MJ board. I hope to be there around noon.

I just wanted to get an idea of how many people where thinking of going from the boards.

I've been excited by this place too since I heard the news. I donno I guess I want to make sure I tell as many people about it.

I'm going to be there in the morning until about noon, helping direct people to where they need to be.  Make sure you come by the RAP table and enter the "Paint My House" contest!

Should be quite a scene.  There will be a ton of great music and a number of street performers, too.  I've got a very cool British Grocer's bike, which I plan on bringing home from the market loaded with goodies.

Is the river taxi running this weekend to the Art Market?
