And how much does it cost to send crews out to trim back the trees and to repair downed lines when a storm comes? I'm sure it doesn't completely offset the cost of burying the lines, but that plus the asthetic benefits outweigh the costs to me.

I heard somewhere that it only takes 14 years for the cost of underground lines to be offset by the savings in repairs and tree trimming.  Must do more research to confirm the memory, but it sounds about right.

Perhaps JEA could come up with some of the money by cutting Jim Dickenson's $300k+ salary.

Walking the dogs down Stockton St. this morning between College and Myra I noticed that the space at the other end of the building from Bakery Moderne that has just been vacated by LDI Graphics had signs in the windows announcing that Bold Bean Coffee Roasters was moving into the space.

Nice addition to the neighborhood!  Does anyone know if they are going to have a coffee shop there as well as roasting and selling their beans?  It would be really nice if they are.
When all else fails hug the dog.

Roasting coffee stinks, It smells bad and nothing like brewing coffee. Still great addition if true.

personally I like the smell.  I think it smells like a mix of roasted coffee and popcorn

That is exciting. Anyone know an ETA on the opening yet?

The www.thejohngorrie.com is looking great too.  Only problem is.. Are condos really selling right now?

Anything will sell for the right price in the right location. I walked through last week and was impressed. Public viewings start next weekend. The Weavers did an excellent job and deserve the windfall of kudos they will receive for this project.

Not sure that they'll be roasting on site, but their operation is small enough that they could probably fit roasting in the back of the shop (the place they have now is pretty small and actual roasting only takes up a small area - they are truly small batch). I'm no coffee expert, but I thought it smelled pretty good over there when they were roasting.

I believe its supposed to be open before the end of summer.

Great! Been waiting for someone to do this (meaning coffee roasting + have their own cafe). I don't believe any of the roasters in town does this currently.

Just wonder if they'll roast on the premises or truck it in from their facility across town??

Have you seen any quotes on pricing for these condos?  I didn't see anything on their website.

If I could find a tinker, an LED electronics geek, and industrial designer looking for a start-up, we'd start making reproduction traffic lights for historic districts around the country.
