When Downtown's Policies Went to the Southside

[pwhitford]

I read these posts (especially Steven and Ock's) and I feel like Pagliacci: 

"I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes."
-from Billie Holiday's song "The Masquerade is Over"

My adopted city it killin' me.

As you can see, we did that on the previous page:

Whoops, ya beat me to it. Good show.

Don't forget turning PF Chang's into a megachurch and giving them the road directly in front of their building. Plus allow them to close off several lanes of traffic on the major thoroughfares for their parishioners so that they can quickly escape the shopping heathens.

No! No! No! Churches would attract people, that's just what their expecting us to do!
Look's like I picked a really bad day to stop sniffing glue!

Fantastic use of satire MJ!  This really puts things into perspective

Nice article. The poor grammar and bad punctuation was annoying, but a good article nevertheless.

^ it was intensionally used to show the native tongue y'all.

Nice article!  It's amazing how many residents of Jacksonville are all for a Downtown change of scenery.  We've been talking about it for years.....when will it start!

Let's begin the downtown renaissance with the new Mayor.  I don't know who is the one to make it happen; perhaps we need to be asking the right questions of the candidates.

perhaps many of us already are

As long as the billionaire land owners of jacksonville control the purse strings in this city and the good ole boy world thives downtown will never be...they can't make any money developing downtown...personally i perferred jtb with a cow field on it...

[tufsu1]

well garden guy....since you have shown no interest in supporting any of the Republican candidates for Mayor, which Democrat has the best plan for downtown?

[BridgeTroll]

Yeah Garden Guy.  Who is your candidate?  Since there are more registered Dems in Duval than republicans... why do republicans keep getting elected?  Same with Rick Scott.  Just where were those dem voters?

Let me answer for you GG... they cant be bothered... they are much more comfortable complaining about their opponents than actually voting. 

[tufsu1]

well BT...I'm a pretty solid Democrat....it is just that for this election, I find one Republican (Audrey) head and shoulders over any of the Democrats.

[BridgeTroll]

I understand tufsu... and my reply is really only directed at garden guy.  GG, like faye are blinded by ideology, and are rather bitter about it.  A quick review of GG's posting history will reveal a clear history of it.
