$20 says that 20 West Adams is not completed until the city has to pay to remove the eye soar. The last GC didn't pay any of his subs for the work already done. This will probably be held up in the courts for a long time...

The courthouse cranes look sweet from I95. Hopefully Wolfson's will be moving forward soon, adding to the buzz.
You know what Lake? I think that the new Baptist parking area could be making way for the proposed 4 story medical office building at the corner of Palm and Prudential. That building will be taking up a good chunk of parking.
Maybe I'm just hoping...

I say this every month, but This is one of the highlights of my month!! I'm so excited about all the new places to hang out that are being built. Interesting bit of info, when you Google search "Dos Gatos, Jacksonville" two Metrojax links appear before the actual dos gatos website, which isn't helpful.
What is Jacksons??
Jason, I would like to agree with you on the baptist parking lot, but I don't think that is the case. They aren't really increasing the size, just upgrading it to go with the proposed streetscape improvements.

Ahhh, ok. I was thinking the majority of that area was somewhat wooded (overgrown) and not used.

I notice stuff like that all the time. I don't think a lot of business owners understand how to build, or take advantage of buzz. Pretty much anytime I hear of a new business opening around the core I do a quick google search to see what they are about. Most of the time I come up with nothing or a very lack luster webpage. Business owners, take note. People will be interested in your business before you open your doors, establish a web presence and build off the buzz sites like Metro Jax create. Great post MJ, the construction updates are always a great read. |

There are a few trees on the site, but I don't think many of them have been removed. It used to be a dirt, multi level (not on purpose, it just dips and rises), cracked, pothole filled, yuck lot. More cars may fit on it now, but I do believe they are just improving the space. |

Must be a clearance sale on hideous pink at home depot? i don't know about eye catchy, it really looks more cheap and gaudy then anything.
Is that pink building really going to attract more customers?

Well they arent really pink.
Waffa and Mike's is actually a burgundyish and the one next to Boomtown Loft is really more of a fuschia.
Im waiting to reserve judgement until Waffa gets the whole building painted. I personally think that the yellow may be a bit too bright and sunny. Maybe a mustard yellow would have been better, but who knows.
The fish market actually looks nice, and is a huge improvement over what was there before.

Those colors make me want to yuke not eat. I think they could do a better job. Does not the design review board have some say over color choices. I know Riverside has some regulations.
