This Place Matters: Saving Norman Studios

[Bativac]

no kidding.  The Karpeles is an amazing asset.

The Karpeles Museum is such a cool place that I am always surprised to be the only person in there anytime I visit. It's nice to have it all to myself but it'd be great if it got a little more exposure.

Unfortunately, Visit Jacksonville, the organization funded by the Tourist Development Council and by member dues, promotes those attractions that are members.  By not providing information on every attraction in the city, they lose their credibility with the result that most travelers turn to TripAdvisor.com or similar open source websites.

actually I made a booboo in my quoting

Fixed it Tim.

Why not Arlington? Lot's of cool history in that area and the community is really embracing it... Any tourist on the way to the beach is just as likely to take Arlington Expressway as they are Atlantic - Beach or JTB, so why not a nice big brown (the official state type) sign pointing out the exit for historic Arlington and the Norman Studios? The city has plenty of signs, but far too few that assist visitors along their path. Our War of Yankee Aggression sites alone could account for thousands of visitors each year but does anyone know where they are?
