American Bottoms Everywhere? It is catchy, but I don't quite understand.

I agree that the url is necessary. I'd also suggest using different color fonts for 'metro' and 'jacksonville' to enhance readability. Perhaps a controversial slogan that also grabs attention like "Your leaders are jackasses." Grab attention.
I think your onto something. Saying, "Do you love Jacksonville? Help Save Restore and Rebuid it!" gives a visitor a foredrawn conclusion that somehow this city is going straight to hell. FACT: We're NOT, in fact we are being quite successful in spite of our lackluster leaders.
I would suggest some catchy single or two to three word teases:
"Florida's Global Port" MJ
"We Financed Miami" MJ
"Streetcars NOW Jacksonville" MJ
"Expand Our Monorail" MJ
"Commute By Rail" MJ
"American Bottoms Everywhere!" MJ
I think then we show up at the Fairs, booths, etc... and sell, sell, sell the future!
Petitions, Tee Shirts, MJ Stickers... YES WE CAN!OCKLAWAHA One small change. Save the "_________" will fall upon deaf ears. "Rebuild" sounds like money to be made. |

How about this
Metro Jacksonville:
If the people lead, the leaders will follow.

This is so upsetting. What can be done, besides bumperstickers, be done to help save these pieces of history?
(Not that the stickers aren't awesome, of course.)

call your city council person and email them with the list. Let them know how you feel. Believe it or not, this makes a difference!

American Bottoms Everywhere? It is catchy, but I don't quite understand.
It's an inside plug for our Port growth. "Bottom" is the shipping term for the home nation of a cargo ship. It's not unusual to see signs pushing this or that bottom around international ports. We could go with "Oriental Bottoms" but since we only have about 2 cargo ships left in the USA, I thought well what the heck.OCKLAWAHA |

Sorry but I beg to differ on this topic. All things that are old are not historical. What is historical is what they were and not what they are today. Only a very few of the Jacksonville Historic Society list of historical structures downtown are of any actual historical significance.
Without getting into the definition of what a historical building is, it can be said that an underground walkway is not. Abandoned dilapidated warehouses are not. An old assembly plant is not. The office building with no architectural distinction at 218 W. Church Street is just that, an office building. Hogan's Creek should be repaired for functional reasons alone. If you want to be accosted or worse, then by all means, make Hogan's Creek aesthetically pleasing. Etc...
On the other hand there are several buildings in and around downtown that are being overlooked because they are not on somebody's agenda.

218 is worth preserving IMO. Locally significant architect and I like it. I love the approach lets not discuss the definition of a historical building I will just tell you what's what.
