Even if you don't do the home tour you should drive around and check out the decorations. I hear the 400 block of East 3rd st is looking pretty good this year!
Oh yea?
Well I heard the 200 block of E. 7th was going to be the best.....
So what are you gonna do about it?
200 block of Market is looking pretty good, too!
I saw E. 3rd last night...nothing special ;D
200 Market did look really nice
Market St always looks nice....FSU813 don't make me go Clark Griswold on you! haha
Last year, Hubbard St. was very pretty - looked just like I'd stepped back into the 1940s. (around that school, Mattie V)
For all the people that frequent this site. Attend this tour. Meet the residents. As a resident since June 2008 it is great place to live. This tour is sponspered by the Springfield Womens Club.
How does this work? Does it all start at one place and led as a tour, or are you free to go house to house during that time? I would be interested in going tonight but I probably couldn't make it until 6.
Unrelated note, all the fsu usernames confuse me. Especially when all 3 post almost consecutively. At least the UF names have some variety.
well, I believe i was the first FSU......

This year it starts at 3rd and Main, but there will be buses/vans running the entire evening. There's usually a map provided...you are free to get on and off the bus at your leisure, or drive yourself, or walk (sometimes the locations are clustered together). 6pm will leave you plenty of time. Hope you can make it!
Thanks for the info Hooplady. I think my girlfriend and I are going to go over to Three Layers and make a decision about the tour there based upon how the weather holds up.

maybe on this site, but I got my degree before you (which just means I'm old)
Went on the home tour last night at 7pm, it was an all night event. Finished up about 11pm (though you i'm sure could go much quicker if you like).
This was my first year and I was quite suprised.......actually nicer than I expected, and more people than I expected (especially with the foul weather).
Met lots of people, saw lots of stunning homes and yards.
My 2 favorites were 215 E. 7th & one of the houses on Perry (on the right, i think).
And of course, the business converted into private residence on Market was ridiculously amazing.
Well worth the tickets to see all the different & unique homes (free cookies, hot coco, and wine too)
It was a good turn out, in spite of the weather and I hope tonight will be just as good...if not better. I had a great time volunteering at the Womens club, that's where you get to meet everyone on the tour, and get to brag about how great our neighborhood is
Many thanks to everyone who attended the tour this year. I thought it was one of the best ever because of the diversity of the homes...large homes, one story bungalow, adaptive reuse, old construction and new construction. It really showcased the variety of what types of homes are available here. And the Woman's Club looked great too. The tour committee, led by Sharlene, did an amazing job.
Wish I could have been there; nothing like a North Florida home tour in Jax on a crisp late fall evening! I'll bet you could smell the smell of wood burning too in the air (which happens in Jax in the winter). I sure miss it.
Heights Unknown.
Did anyone take photos?
i would hope so.
they would be great promotional material to put up on the Springfield Woman's Club website......
