Welcome to Florida AE!

as for jazz fest did it really produce some result in development or was that sarcasm I missed.

I believe that was sarcasm.

Yes.  I tried to select a smiley that would get that across to the reader.

The smiley are hard to see you because I have been using my phone lately to read the boareds lol. They need to get an icon of Willie wonka or Nicholas cage to properly insert sarcasm lol

What kind of work do you do in Italy AE?

Looking into starting a business there, just curious.

EXCLUSIVE: Atlanta developer working deal to finish half-built Berkman tower in Downtown Jacksonville

Ashley Gurbal Kritzer

Jacksonville Business Journal

An Atlanta apartment developer is in talks to buy the half-built Berkman II condo tower from the general contractor who now owns it.

This is great!  I hope it doesn't fall through like the doomed Publix project in San Marco.

I'm glad you're here from somewhere else. Outsiders are the only ones that can save Jacksonville and all of Florida, IMO. Please please please stick to the Italian and NYC style of urbanism. Do not let the good ol boys sway you to build their way, the Floridiot way.

[Tacachale]

Dude, seriously, enough with that.

We purchased and renovated a few historic structures and rent them out as vacation spots. Businesses do well there depending on what and where it is.

Sorry, I'm trying to hold my tounge. The status quo just frustrates me so much.

Wow. Who knew moving the Jazz Festival would produce results this quickly. 

Funny, but the crowds at the festival were amazing.  I don't know where the people came from, but I'm pretty sure very few were from the east side of the ditch.

razor wire never looked so good as it does around the perimeter of Berkman 2.  The Homeless Hotel is officially closed.  Even Elvis has left the building.

Razorwire? gee they aren't playing about not wanting people in there huh lol

[downtownbrown]

I spoke too soon. Yes, there is razor wire. No, it isn't stopping the vagrants from jumping over it.  Jacksonville is really good at not noticing the obvious.  Consider the hole in Liberty Street.  It has been there since April of 2012, and the road has been closed since then.  Nobody seems to notice.  Not the media.  Not the government.

[downtownbrown]

liberty street hole update.  Rounding third.  Going to finally be fixed soon. 

[AuditoreEnterprise]

I saw the razor wire a few weeks ago but I have been too busy to mention it. It was coiled up near the bottom of the interior fence much like detention facilities have. It's a wonder the idiots jumping the fence haven't been seriously injured yet.
