When Ira Koger built Midtown Centre they must of thought that was "midtown" in Jax at the time.

In 1957, Koger opened it as the Koger Center. I believe it was re-branded as Midtown Centre in the last decade or two.

How about SouthTown Center. It "connects" Southpoint, southside, Town Center together. The use of Center sounds like some cities where that implies a business area.

Dang. I thought this was an update to Midtown Deli. Anyone know where they are going to reopen?

Yep. When Koger sold out, it was bought by LNR Commercial (Lennar) and it was rebranded as Midtown Centre.  I forgot about that little tidbit of time!
