Gee, someone has a pissy little attitude. lol, i guess i do. Although reading it probably sounds pissier than hearing me say it. If you check back over driven1s posts though, you can see why. Pretty much any comment I make, he's right there making some silly comment. He's like my high school girlfriend's kid brother. |

lol. nope, I guess I was a little opaque with the post, and then got sidetracked before any more real discussion could happen. As it happens, I was in a meeting downtown day before yesterday (tuesday) discussing a large roster of event programming specific to the core, and the subject came up on any upcoming openings of restaurants or bars who might be able to participate in some of the later events. It turns out that there are presently three entertainment based establishments that will be announcing that they will be opening downtown. Nothing national, local places. That space will be one of them apparently. I will try to get specifics for this thread to post a little later on today. |

Thanks Driven1. Expect this to be the norm over the next couple of years. Its exactly what we experienced in Five Points (as well as San Marco) during the last recession. If you are really excited about the possibilities of this happening or the ideas behind the phenomenon., maybe you should read the very long thread on this topic that you have posted in a couple of times expressing your boredom with the subject. heres a good place to start: http://www.metrojacksonville.com/forum/index.php/topic,1558.120.html |

Mr. Dare,
I was legitimately excited about the new companies being established. I'm sorry you took my intial disbelief of you on the other thread as "boredom". I am certainly not bored.
Anyway, thanks again for posting. This is huge news, so I posted it as a new thread and linked it over here for more detailed info - hope that you do not mind.
Can you please post the 3 new companies in one or both of the threads ASAP??
Thanks again for bringing us good news!

I'm not going to go fishing for any more clues on what these places are, but where exactly are these places going to be located? Bay Street perhaps? If so, Bay street would be on its way to really becoming the entertainment district. Now if we could just do something with the county courthouse. |
