Newbie native from Southside

Had to comment that this is an awesome site for a native Jacksonvillian. Some of these articles really bring back memories. One thing I have not been able to find is any pics or articles on Leb's Restaurant. It was a downtown "landmark" restaurant for years. My dad was a chef there for 20-30 years. Any one have any memories, pics, etc...
Another one of my fondest memories was of a newspaper seller that worked on Adams street back in the 50's and 60's named Jimmy. He was one of the kindest people a little girl has ever met. Always a smile and a little gift- most that he had just picked up anywhere, but always heartfelt.

Well now I will give the Gators a thumbs up. But it will always feel good that FSU won the first National Title before the Gators did, yes I know you have 3 of them now. And could get another one this year 2009 but its way better to be a NOLE then a gator any day.
