Five Points @ Riverside, Town Center, and Atlantic/Neptune Beach

I know my #2 isn't too popular around here, but I have had some good times there on a regular basis.

^^^Hey, I'm with ya, I love #2. I can't get enough of Libretto's Pizza. :)

Seraphs

Heckscher Dr from 9A to Nassau Co line.
Memorial Park
Northbank River Walk from Fuller Warren to Acosta - This has an urban like feel to me. (view)

AKIRA

Cummer gardens towards evening, small chapel at St. Marks across from Stockton Park, the Ortega bridge and park.

Gonzo

Its probably no surprise to anyone who knows me why my first choice is what it is:

1. The "Brewery District" of King Street (Intuition Ale Works, Bold City, Kickback's, and Pele's).
2. Klutho Park in Springfield
3. Friendship Fountain
Born cold, wet, and crying; Gonzo has never-the-less risen to the pinnacle of the beer-loving world. You can read his dubious insights at www.JaxBeerGuy.com (click the BLOG link).

1. Boone Park (the bit with all the trees between Herschel and Park) on a cool autumn's day, when there are leaves all over the ground and no one is around.

2. On the beach in Neptune Beach early in the day, when it's quiet and all you can hear is the birds, the breeze and the waves.

3. Downtown (and the Northbank Riverwalk) during the Super Bowl!


AbelH

In no particular order:

1. Chamblin's Bookmine on U.S. 17. (Love Uptown, but you can get lost for days in the Roosevelt location.)
2. Springfield. (Lots of character(s) - both the architecture and the people.)
3. The Riverwalk.

Runner-ups:

1. Kingsley Plantation (Fascinating history, incredible views)
2. Atlantic Ocean (at Atlantic Beach)
3. St. Johns Cathedral (Great architecture, peace)
