Wait, I'm confused.  Are 2 separate Julia's Organic Grocery stores opening, one on 5th & Main Streets and the other on 1520 Prudential Drive?  I knew about the one in Springfield, but the second location on the south bank is new, I think.

Wow, good for her.  And as a resident of the Peninsula, I couldn't be happier.  I can't wait!

They just got a construction permit like 12 days ago.

^ If it were the 210 corridor during the construction boom, after 12 days we'd be drinking slurpees wilst stepping over the cracks in the foundation!  :D

Between: Chew, T-Flats, Mellow Mushroom, G&G, Carmines new place, the relocated Sushi Cafe, the probable relocation of 'Town...etc...  We're going to have a very lively and delicious neighborhood by this time next year.  That's about 1,000 new seats of dining/drinking.  There is no room for 1,000 new spaces.  The entire park and King corridor only has 300 spaces.  Looks like alternative transportation will be a dire need by 2014.  Even if we started planning and building today we would be playing catch up to the demand that already exists.

According to DVI's Downtown Update (http://downtownjacksonville.org/Media/InTheNews/12-04-23/Downtown_Jacksonville_Update_-_April_2012.aspx) the Riverside Trolley (http://www.jtafla.com/Schedules/RiversideTrolley-04232012.pdf) is going back to 10 min headways during lunch.

Trees are being planted in the new courthouse plaza today. I still can't believe people wanted to cram a road in there.

I noticed the trees too Lake. Also, on the 7-11 at the corner of State and Main, it is coming along, lots of prep work has to go into place to support a gas station with fueling stands. I am sad, they couldn't have saved the stately Washington palm that was on the corner!
