And everyone NEEDS to remember that with Landmar they were going to retain the 150 slip marina without one slip for the Public and that the 16 acres of Public space that was part of Shipyards was reduced to 8 with Landmar and that Landmar also had negotiated to be able shutdown the Riverwalk 12 times during the coarse of a year. The picture with the people walking is your Public space. My wife and I experienced the shutdown of the Riverwalk during Super Bowl XXXIX. It was a disaster. So imagine shutting out the people of Jacksonville 12 times during these special events.

It is not skill but just dumb luck that we are getting this property back. And in my opinion the 680' Promised Downtown Public Pier needs to be separate and that legislation needs to be immediately introduced by somebody to make it happen. There are so many legislative actions that are moving forward. This needs and should be a major city council and mayoral campaign issue. There is no way in heck I'd support anyone who doesn't want to make the Promised Downtown Public Pier separate.
Everyone, Everyone NEEDS to comprehend the magnitude of retaining Public Access and Economic Opportunity within our Downtown Jacksonville Overlay Zoning District.

I agree about the Aquarium.  Too many close-by cities have already done it.  Fifteen years ago, maybe.  I might feel differently if they weren't so expensive to build and maintain.

Jax is a long ways from getting an IKEA, so yeah, why talk about it.  

Bass Pro Shops are a tourist attraction, but I don't see it happening either.

You hit the nail on the head concerning an aquarium. BTW Vic, what makes Bass Pro Shops a tourist attraction? The climing wall perhaps? That's the only unique thing that I can think of concerning BPS.

The fish tank.
