Fantastic, as usual.

I believe that image is Klutho Park (not Springfield Park)

Springfield Park is the historic name of the entire greenspace from 10th Street (now 8th Street is the north border) to Laura Street.  Dignan Park (now Confederate Park) was added in 1907 between Main and Liberty Streets.

This is a great video...I shared it on my Facebook page last night....and encourage everyone here to do the same (or similar).

And, if you haven't taken the survey yet, you only have a few more days!

I have to be honest, Jax2025 didn't move my needle much.  There are so many things to do right now that I haven't been moved by another visioning process. 

This video though got me a little fired up.  I'll be there next Saturday.
