The Fairfield area is another potential Springfield.  I little investment... TLC... and Voila!
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I think the old Fairfield school is being used as a correctional institute. Or at least it was a couple of years ago.

Definitely another diamond in the rough neighborhood with Springfield-like potential. Never thought I'd say this, but I curse the day chain-link fence was invented.

The school is being used as a head start facility.

I really enjoy these neighborhood posts, finding out the history and background of parts of Jax that I know nothing about, thanks!

I have to agree with James.  As a recent arrival in Jax, learning about the city's history is interesting and important to me.  I especially love the old photos!  Your journalism is short enough for a quick read and you include many pictures from the past as well as today.  Keep up the good work!
