Urban Neighborhoods: Woodstock & Allendale

Great article but since I am a railroad history buff I'd like to know where you found the picture of what appears to be an SAL locomotive in the Citrus Scheme at West Jax.

Great. Thanks. So did you just do a search for Woodstock and pick and choose what photos came up?

I did a number of searches by individual street (ex. Beaver, Edgewood, McDuff), neighborhood (ex. Woodstock, Paxon, Allendale), business (nothing turned up here this time) and railroads (ex. Railroads-Jacksonville).

I graduated from Paxon. I went to the junior high as well, when it was called that some years ago.

My mom was in the first graduating class at Paxon.  She volunteered to move to that school from Jackson for her senior year.  One of her aunts lived near Woodstock Park until she died.  I remember going over there as a kid in the 60's.
