Just want to pass along some info about a string of home break-ins in the last several days around Cherry Street...one was the typical kick-in the back door during the middle of the day, but another occurred over the weekend where someone tried to break-in a house in the middle of the night, while the residents were sleeping...a bit scarier, in my opinion.
Keep your eyes out. JSO was out on our block last night, knocking on doors and letting the neighbors know what was going on.
Isn't Cherry Street in Avondale?
There was also a daytime break-in on the 2100 block of College St. last week. Nothing was taken evidently because the burglar was scared off by the homeowner returning.
RAP has a neighborhood watch program. It should be expanded to include more of Riverside and avondale.

I don't believe Avondale technically begins until around McDuff.
Avondale's the 32205 zip code, so if somebody has a postal map that shows where 32204 ends and 32205 begins, that should show wherever the line actually is. Over the years, I've noticed that everybody has a conflicting viewpoint on what is and isn't Avondale, but I've never bothered to look it up.
King St. is the line dividing 32204 and 32205.

I think the original "Avondale" subdivision as developed by Stockton went from Seminole to Talbot and Roosevelt to the River. There's an Urban Neighborhoods" thread on it from a while back:
http://www.metrojacksonville.com/article/2008-feb-urban-neighborhoods-avondale
As of 8:30 this morning, JSO is on the trail of the daylight burglar. Tall, skinny black male was spotted leaving a house. JSO is searching the area using K-9 west of King Street not far from I-10.
And, thanks to K-9, they caught him. Now our little rash of burglaries is over if this guy is the one. Go Dogs!
Awesome!
Hubert Nathaniel Young Jr., b/m, 03-12-91 was captured on 10-24-12 by JSO. Case # 777675. 3144 Ernest St.

thank you for reporting dog walker , r 1
That was quick. Kudos, and pretty impressive.
Haven't looked at a map, but King being the area code cutoff makes sense. I am on Cherry and in the '05. West Riverside Elementary would also be in 'Avondale' (05). However, I still consider this more Riverside than Avondale. I'd say McDuff is probably the popular practical cutoff.
That is great news this idiot has been caught.
Re: Avondale boundary, I think the original boundary of the landowners that sold for development was Willowbranch creek. Most large parcels of land were divided at natural boundaries such as creeks or other bodies of water back before the turn of the century. My guess would be that Willowbranch is the original boundary and makes perfect sense for today as well.
^There's no official boundary between Riverside and Avondale. Different people say different things; none are any more right (or wrong) than any other.
This thread is not about the recognized boundaries of certain neighborhoods proper.

Well another crime tonight. My bike was stolen. Happened in front of Zoe's. I had it locked up on the bike rack in front of Zoe's. Put it there around 6:30 and when I came back around 7:05 it was gone. SO if anyone sees a blue 18" GT Rebound with yellow RockShox forks. This was bought by me second hand so it isn't the shiniest bike out there, but if anyone sees a neighbor with new transport send me a message.

Man, genuinely sorry for your loss, bikes can be as a familiar as a family pet - I do understand.
but at least we are back on track reporting actual crimes in our community.
Please email this to 630city@coj.net
lookup the web address www.crime view community.com
you have a few options to target a specific intersection and select a radius ,
check the boxes to select report all crimes,
lastlye enter your email address.
ssimple as that and you're good for weekly reports of everything going on in your hood.
since it is an extension of the JSO website functionality, if something reported online seems to strike a chord, too close to home you can go to your nearest substation probably zone 4 in Cedar Hills, and pick up a copy of the police report for free if you are the alleged victim
I most sincerely hope this information helps.
we have been trying for quite some time to get a group of neighbors connected
and not to add to any further derail but, originally Avondale lied wholly between Boone and Willow branch parks, while a 4 and a half block wide plat was the key.
the popularity mushroomed from there and yes today we have Riverside('s) Avondale.
while Murray Hill was once its own town with its own Mayor, it and areas immediately north of Lakeside Park, Fairfax Manor and Lakeshore East of Cassatt in golf an original Platte of what is still shown on my deeds as riverside village, reaching down into todays Jacksonville marina mile and dating as far back as 1907.

Thanks Ricker, that is a great information. http://www.crimemapping.com/map.aspx?aid=5f7e8878-d809-4468-9354-1a571b7cddb0 (http://www.crimemapping.com/map.aspx?aid=5f7e8878-d809-4468-9354-1a571b7cddb0)
I've found that crime maps often have inaccuracies. The official JSO crime map is the best, on the COJ.net site.

Crazy, you guys have the same name!
This thread is not for the reporting of crimes, the links you listed are. This thread is for discussion. And the boundaries of Riverside and Avondale in a thread about crime in Riverside are important for determining in which specific area crimes are occurring. That and tangents often lead to the most interesting discussion, as demonstrated by your inability to follow your own advice.
The moderators of this site do a fine job moderating the forums, they don't need a neighborhood watch to help them monitor posts. Leave that up to the professionals.

You win the internet today. Too funny!
According to Wayne Wood's book, the boundary between Riverside and Avondale is McDuff Ave. Cherry Street IS in Riverside.

What kind of lock did you have on it? I would be really upset if someone took my bike. I use a cable, but the jerks are cutting them now maybe need to upgrade to something better. Any advice?
Dog Walker, get yourself a U Lock. Some come with anti-theft warranties.

A heavy-duty U-lock is going to be your best bet, but they're still not impervious. At least anyone looking to get through one of them will need an angle grinder or a bottle jack; both of which are methods a thief is unlikely to attempt in an area with people around it.
A cable or chain lock takes about 2 seconds to get through. Good for protecting your bike from a person walking past on the street, but not from a bike thief.
Taking someone's bike is like kicking their puppy! Really lowlife and personal. Super bad karma!
Everybody, there is a serial number on your bike. They are usually on the bottom bracket where the pedals go through and sometimes on the front bracket where the handlebars are mounted. Record that number somewhere safe and memorable. It will greatly increase the chances that you will get it back.
Thanks for the advice, guys. Off to City Cycle tomorrow for a U lock.

It's not just in Riverside! The Holiday crime season seems to be starting early this year.
QuoteJACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is looking for information after someone broke into numerous vehicles at Jacksonville Golf and Country Club overnight Tuesday.
Shannon Hartley, Public Information Officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, said police were called to the gated community around in the early morning hours of October 24.
Police received reports vehicles had been broken into during the night. A surveillance camera at the country club shows a white male near one of the victim's vehicles around 3 a.m. that morning, Hartley said.
Then, at 5:05 that morning, Hartley said a credit card stolen from one of the vehicles was used at the drive-thru of the McDonald's located at 14200 Beach Blvd. The man who used the credit card appears to be driving a black Acura TL or smaller vehicle.
Anyone with information about the identity of the men or the vehicle is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500 or via email at JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
To remain anonymous and be eligible to receive a cash reward, you may contact First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.

I think its not just the Holiday crimes, Its unemployment and desperation.
Gotta make the Payments on that Acura... ::)
Heavens to Betsy!!!!!
You mean shit like that happens in gated communities? Oh the horror. Is no where safe?
Three cars broken into in the past week in my neck of the woods. One house was broken in through the front door when they saw a FedEx package on the porch thinking no one was home... except oops, they were.
24 gallons of gas siphoned off in the spring before a JSO overnight finally shooed them off.
They got into my car last week and left all of my gloveboxes etc. open, but I didn't have anything of value. But got all of the CD's out of the neighbors SUV the same night.
I can't even tell you how many washers, dryers and refrigerators have been stolen from the model house at the front of the neighborhood. They finally put webcams in. My son even caught some guys trying to steal the AC unit across the street to extract the copper. They were so bold, they even knocked the fence down with their truck to reach it. JSO caught up with them and hauled them away.
Our neighborhood is beginning to see a pattern where in one week we are inundated with water softener and yard care sales people and the following week a wave of crime erupts.
A friend of 13 years was killed in his carport in middleburg Thursday of this week, nobody knows why. Well I guess somebody does, hopefully the cops figure out who's responsible. Not telling a sob story, just saying, let's keep it in perspective. This is by far one of the safer neighborhoods in the city, and in the absence of any real crime, it seems like siphoned gas and stolen bikes are becoming a psychologically-amplified crime wave. Sure, car break-ins are a pain in the ass, but the reason they seem so prevalent here is that the neighborhood's so old that half the houses don't have garages. If you guys move to other neighborhoods, you'd quickly be longing for our 'crime wave' compared to what happens in a lot of other places in this city. Copper theft happens everywhere there's a vacant house in this economy.
