History / Alice Kilpatrick and the Richm...

Last post by thelakelander - April 06, 2026, 08:45:39 AM

In the first decades of the twentieth century, when segregation narrowed opportunity and Black mobility was constrained by law, custom, and violence, African American women quietly built institutions that sustained community life. Among them was Alice Kirkpatrick, a Jacksonville businesswoman whose life's work placed her at the center of Black enterprise, civic organization, and cultural exchange during the Jim Crow era.

Downtown / Re: New Ford on Bay RFP

Last post by thelakelander - April 03, 2026, 05:29:17 PM

I'd argue that national developers are already here, but historically downtown revitalization has been more of a politically connected opportunity/obstacle thing to the development community, than market driven. This from conversations I've personally had with individuals in the development industry over the years, as well as things I've witnessed in the field and related professions like planning, architecture, engineering, etc. fields. However, I'd also argue that national developers aren't saving any downtown nationwide. The best places have local money, ambition and passion flowing into them.
