Print ArticleIf you're the type of person who believes in ghost, ghouls, and goblins, here are few sites in town you might want to avoid this weekend.
The Carling
Today, the Carling is a restored luxury apartment building in the heart of the Northbank and a testament to downtown's revitalization. On the night of December 29, 1963, while filled with visitors in town for the Gator Bowl, the building became a 13-story tower of terror. Then known as the Roosevelt Hotel, a fire broke out resulting in the deaths of 21 guests and Jacksonville Fire Department Chief James Romedy.
