QuoteDiebenow drew a few chuckles around the crowded room when he explained that gas pumps should qualify as public space.

He is quickly becoming the Paul Harden of his generation. Damn good guy to know if you need something done in the City of Jax!

In that case maybe they won't mind people playing frisbee or having a picnic between the pumps.

Is it just me or is Gate moving really slow on this?  I was kind of hoping they changed their mind.

Gate is open. They did a nice job with the space. Hopefully, Brooklyn will continue to grow in 2018.

I agree, I think they incorporated the station well into the surroundings. The Shell in Five Points no longer has a monopoly! lol

All the moaning seems even sillier now.

lol I'm actually smh at what impresses people. If the opening of a gas station is big news, we're further behind and beaten down by the reality of Jax's urban renaissance than even I expected. Even for Memphis ;-).

Back in Manhattan after spending the holidays in Jax, Orlando, and stints in Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Asheville.  Jax's downtown is as far behind as you can imagine, make no mistake.  Crisis mode.

I haven't seen it in person but based on the pictures in the other thread,it is just a run of the mill convenience store. What specifically are the positives that some on here are impressed by? I am not seeing anything besides a vanilla carbon copy Gate store.

It has a fence. That's about the only significant difference that stands out from every other new Gate being built.
