No offense intended at all , Dan... Just think the money is better spent elsewhere IMO.

So......Timken......would it be possible to DEMOLISH the AMSHACK? I know how you love to save buildings, but would it be OK to level just this one?

Yeah, I'm still pissed that the residents of St. Nicholas could influence Delaney so much that he stopped expansion plans at Met Park, which allowed St. Augustine to rebuild theirs and allow Ponte Vedra to offer a hall for successful musicians as well. Our arena gets used more for football games and graduations than actual concerts. Our city is backward when it comes to culture. It is seriously lacking a good music scene!

M-train... Geez.   The buildings I would see saved at least have some kind of appreciable architecture.

To answer your question..... I do not know what kind of a reuse the building could serve... As to its structural condition, I don't think its bad..

If it is like every other building in Jax that gets vacated.. the vandals will take their toll on it ( as with #4)  and  neglect will take it's toll (as with #4)  and it will eventually get bulldozed by neglect ( As you would prefer if you had your way, with #4)

I know I am talking to a deaf man.. so Im wasting my breath, but if you are going to attack me, make it something reasonable and stop the ridiculous jabs. You have no fan club here (not that I do)  and your words only impress you.  

I would be willing to bet, by Vote that I FAR HAVE YOU OUTNUMBERED by people who would see the buildings I support, being somehow, saved.   Nobody has ever asked you for one red cent of your money or the sweat of your labor to save anything.  Okay?   I hope this answers your rather ridiculous and as usual ,condescending posting. ;)

To be totally honest there is a passing track, and a couple of sidings that go into a commassary with loading docks and deep freezers. The station beyond the public eye, has locker rooms, crew and office space. There is a truck line next door, and the lot is large and paved, should be a snap to recycle to a motor carrier, or tour operator as a local terminal or operations base and HQ.

Failing that, hell I just want to burn it down! But hey, I wanted to do that before it opened!
