Elements of Urbanism: Gainesville

[Ocklawaha]

Lake is the one photo that looks like a platform for buses, the former train station? Did you get a shot of the station itself? I believe the right-of-way is intact to the end of track about a mile north.

Gainesville is renowned in the recreational drug culture for "Gainesville Green", a particularly potent strain of marijuana.

- Damn the FTA - DOT - FRA etc, I'll never know how it stacks up to my old California "Mythical Mother Lode Mind-F**K! (Smile)

This is the bus terminal.  Its near former rail right-of-way.



I did not get any images of the former train station (I don't know where it was), but these downtown apartments are built directly adjacent to the former rail-of-way.

Guess unless they have a bunch of railfans living there it would suck to be them if I get my way!

Great Pics! I love G-ville, especially on football Saturdays. Can anyone help me with this question? since Clay county, which is part of Jacksonvilles metro area, touches Alachua county, which is Gainesvilles metro area, why isnt this a combined MSA?. The two downtowns are only 71 miles apart. This would be a great addition for North Florida and would give us a metro area of about 1.6 million.
