Is Riverside/Avondale Ready For Mellow Mushroom?

[PeeJayEss]

We were walking back from Bluefish Tuesday night and saw an X5, doing at least 60 come south on Edgewood, in front of the Honorable Jim Love's house, and blow through the stop sign at Riverside on its way to St. Johns, probably in an effort to get to the late night menu at some restaurant. Thanks JSO for patrolling only during the day.

So your anecdote to demonstrate how drunkards from the many (1-2) bars on St Johns are driving drunk and consistently screeching tires in your street late at night involves a vehicle heading in the direction of the shoppes that you assume was bound for one of the restaurants on the street? Case closed. Or are you just lamenting about the inadequacy of JSO?

Boone Park is more than just the 3 blocks from St. Johns/Van Wert/Herschel, it does go north of Herschel and has a nice open area for toss and catch, picnic tables and even a number of fantastic tennis courts, and more playground equipment there too, in fact, the 3 blocks and additional 5.5 blocks make it a major park in our area.

I agree, but I have often found that area to be waterlogged or muddy.  Some attention definitely needs to be paid towards the park.  I am not a landscape architect, so i don't want to speak on the subject, but I know it could be better designed and better utilized.

That creek is no wider than Hogan's Creek and the way the landscape is sloped, you get water from both sides. I'd leave it alone, let nature take its course, rather than the City come in and try and improve it, there are already JEA tanks on the south end of Boone Park, and if the City really thought they could do something, it would have been done under Overton's reign.  What muddiness? It has not rained in weeks, I'd say its OK to go there now.

I've lived here since 1999, if I was concerned about screaching tires or drunks throwing up in the right of way, or trash in the median from the inconsiderates (they know who they are), or the dog crap that owners leave in yards, I would have just moved to the Southside where there are so called "rational" families. I'm here for the long haul, but god forbid someone gets killed from the growth, it will all hit the fan. So with growth, comes more responsibilities, and the merchants know that growth comes with a cost, a real one for more police presence.

The Shoppes,and indeed "Avondale" have accommodated expanded growth for decades.

There are limits,and "growth" in awareness,outlook and citizen response to the "inevitable" narrative.

30 + page internet threads possibly way behind.

Oh come on now.
The area is a "Park"/not developed because much of the Park it is a wetland storm water flow way,and therefore the pioneers granted "Park" status.Indeed the upland border a wee bit wider than granted nowadays.Pioneer days.
Catch up with the Pioneers.
Herschel street culvert blown out during Debbie or did no one here notice what actuaslly happened?

Any attempts or references  joining Boone Park with MM are simply hilarious and darn effective.
Keep it up!

know growth, you literally don't know what you are talking about on this.  Why not return to your theories on how sprawl is good for the environment and the 'coloreds' were bad for miami.

Could anyone with a general understanding of sentence structure please interpret kNOw Growth's ramblings?

Captain, Don't you mean his Delphic utterances? Trying to diagram any of those sentences would leave one cross-eyed.

Ah, but succeeding in either diagramming or interpreting any of the utterances will only lead to disappointment and the extreme rolling of the eyes.

Trust me, Captain, if you don't actually understand what he's saying at least you can pretend that its some form of Dada posting. Getting what he says is much less glamorous and borders on a magnitude of dumb not normal seen in people with access to a computer. (which is saying something)

Mike is a first world problem.

I like that his edited posts still don't make any sense.

I was going to say something, but didn't want to offend, in case he was autistic or had some speech/writing issue

and here I thought the purpose of this 35 page Mellow Mushroom thread was to offend someone given the comments about neighbors vs outsiders, the We Love Avondale group, parking, etc
