Title: How did you avoid all of the bad guys?
Post by: downtownparks on March 28, 2007, 07:55:26 AM
How did you avoid all of the bad guys that we are always hearing about on the news and from old time Jax residents?

Oh, wait! You must have asked the throngs of criminals and thugs to step just out side of the frame before you took the pictures!

:-)
 Nice work. Great photo set. I love seeing places like Shanty and Pearl take off. Perhaps we can get 9th and Main pushed towards becoming a more regular live venue, and put it back on the list or up and coming places!

To all the people that think J-ville don't have any style, or great distinguishing architecture, they need to open their eyes to these pics. Great job on the pics. :)

The photos are just incredible.  When we were fighting for money for Main St.  and other projects were getting money - someone who used to be high up in Delaney's government said "Springfield was a picture postcard long before so and so ( I do not remember to which edifice he referred) - but Joey you have made it a picture postcard haven again -  I keep looking and looking and sending the route to my family and friends

Sorry, if these  forty eight pictures represent Springfield this is a sad commentary for the area. If I had the time to play games and take pictures of selected shots of Springfield, of course you have the WOW
shots. Go take the real pictures of Springfield, boarded up homes, crack viles in the gutters, prostitutes walking the streets. With out those super bright street lights you wouldn't dare walk those streets at night. If you notice, the streets are empty even with the street lights, lighting up everything. How can those people sleep, it should be called "Land of the Midnight Sun.
Title: What about the Eastside?
Post by: Michael Howle on April 05, 2007, 04:36:25 PM
Nice pics, but how about some props for the eastside?  I see the houses between 4th & 5th on Market, but don't forget Hubbard, Liberty, and my favorite:  WALNUT!   YO!

These aren't night pictures, but they were taken in Springfield.

I am considering buying into the Springfield area.  I first have a home to sell.  I want to purchase an income property, hopefully, one I can live in while renting out the other half.  What part of Springfield would be best?  Preferably an area which has most of the homes in the area surrounding the home, almost completed.  I love the architecture.  I am familiar with Frank Lloyd Wright and now I understand Kuthlo is responsible for most of the Prairie Style architecture in the area.  How do I know if I would be purchasing a home with their influence or contribution? I love the Urban pictures...it does look like an up and coming area...one that I would like to be a part of by renovating one of these old relics.  I would prefer a home with the electrical already up to code and most of the major work done, like plumbing and newer roof.  Any advice would be welcomed.  I have remodeled two homes, but nothing as old as these type homes.
