THEME PARK JACKSONVILLE

[hillary supporter]

The Wave waterpark looks like a hit!
I hope it moves forward, this seems like the right idea for DT and the city.

That does sound pretty awesome. I wonder if any progress has been made with those 'talks' since February. The mix of a water park, nightclub, restaurants... would be a HUGE shot in the arm for Bay Street becoming a true entertainment district. It's something weird but cool about having a water park right on the river.

Take one vintage 1912 streetcar system, add carbarn/restoration shop - museum, with store and cafe
Explore adding the fire museum from Metropolitan Park, and some vintage stores.

Pike Place Market, Seattle

toss in

One vintage 1929 idea for "The Jacksonville Quay" a purposely gritty wharf atmosphere with fish market, farm market, crab and charter boats tying up, rounded out by every import locally grown "Pier One" type place, nautical antiques and freight surplus... stack the crates in the floor boys.
