Love TIMKINs idea of adapting Annie Lytle to a House of Blues hybrid, live music venue/museum.
AND/OR
locate the MUSEUM on MAIN STREET in Springfield and tie the two together with streetcar/skyway

Aside, I hope to see the day when we see the realization of a vision of AL/ps#4 being used as either a tech school, private high school, with live music bookings on weekends when classrooms are locked and secured,

PARKING THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE with the Fidelity garage nearly empty on the weekends.
Tie the planned dogpark to the Riverside Arts Market and DT via the northbank riverwalk, and Hogans Creek Greenway to Shands, and FSCJ, Edward Waters, circle the inner ring neighborhoods with streetcar on SR111, and link them into the CBD like a spider web.

Hasn't RPDS recovered from over $10million in construction loans?
Doesn't Mr.Milne, the owner of Annie Lytle sit as a board member of BOTH Tarpon Holdings AND RPDS??

HMMMM


Ricker... for Clarity.. Mr. Milne is Chairman of the board of directors of Foundation Holdings IV/ Ida Stevens Foundation.  He has no affiliation with Tarpon who is a subsidiary of Gulf Group Holdings in Aventura Fl.  I believe the owner of GGH is Jonathan Politano.    To my knowledge,  Mr. Milne has no affiliation with them whatsoever.

At this point, I am down with any reasonable solution for Annie Lytle .  Cheshire makes a good suggestion as well.

The question remains... Where to get funding to make such a project viable?

Could investors include some of the local Southern Rockers who got their start here?  Susan Tedeschi-Derek Trucks live in the Jacksonville area, as do some of former members of other bands.  Crowd-sourcing is popular, and this should have appeal beyond Jacksonville.

Now we are talking Chesire Cat! I love people with ENTHUSIASM and VISION! I actually ran an 1896 inn and restaurant in Franklin, NC for 2 years.:-)

Also in Atlanta one of the most successful restaurants for years was The Abbey, an old restored church.

The Snyder Memorial Church is one I remember vividly when my Mom and Dad would go shopping downtown on Saturday and then in Morrison's cafeteria.

One of my board members and I are friends with several of these old rockers. Yes I see them pitching in possibly with a Jacksonville Reunion concert which that board member could help happen.

Nice similar attempt -- smaller scale and vision -- in St. Petersburg ...love the building...this tearing down nice buildings (as the bank prefers) seems to be quite the affliction.

We need a kick-off fundraising event.

Of course, a concert.

All we need is some "wild-eyed southern boys"

Hugh, this is very exciting for Jacksonville and I would love to see it happen.  The thing about this is that the idea is not only good but a viable one that is a great fix for this city.  I have often felt that if this city would be able to tap into the country folk here it would not only create activity but open up  interest in many other venues and in downtown.  Face it, Jacksonville is a beautiful place to visit and live and it is time we as a community embrace that.  I do believe that the Snyder and Annie Lytle would be a stimulus to this community in ways unexpected.  Loving this.  :)  Making things happen in this city can be a challenge which I know first hand, but an idea like this is one worth the work.  Using Snyder would also have a very positive impact on Hemming Park which is a real topic of interest and discussion these days.

This is an AWESOME list Gloria! It just shows why Jacksonville is the IDEAL location. Also we can consider adding a Florida Music Hall of Fame which one of my board members would like to see as he grew up in Jacksonville too.:-)

All we need is some "wild-eyed southern boys"

Jim Dandy Mangrum, "Uncle Lijah" and the boys from BLACK OAK ARKANSAS are still rocking. I've also heard in our MJ editorial meetings that Molly Hachett wouldn't mind a little "Flirtin' With Disaster," and have expressed an interest in this exact idea. Blackfoot could come to town on the "TRAIN-TRAIN." Back in September the Ozark Mountain Daredevils band was out "Standing On A Rock" in Poplar Bluff, MO. .38 Special was certainly "Back Where You Belong."  "Can't You See," the Marshall Tucker Band visiting with us? Charlie Daniels knows the "Devil Went Down To Georgia," so he'd probably like to come to Florida. Sadly Ruby Starr is now a "Grey Ghost." Canned Heat loves "Going Up The Country." Lobo says "I'd Love You To Want Me." Wet Willy is all for it, they want us to "Keep On Smiling." Grinderswitch desires us to "Let The South Wind Blow." We'll all be dancing the "Fandango," when ZZ Top hits town. I think we could get the Atlanta Rhythm Section out of "Doraville," to do a benefit concert. Just for fun I'd like to invite Louisiana's LeRoux to "Take a Ride On a Riverboat," and come on down. If we could get LeRoux, I'd hope CJ Chenier would bring their "Bow Legged Woman," along for the ride.

Bottom line Jacksonville, "If You Want To Get To Heaven," we'll do this!

Ocklawaha is bringing back the great memories of Southern Rock. Possibly if we tied in a salute to my Bolles classmate Gram Parsons, members from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Duane Allman then that concert who bring even possibly Keith Richards and others that owe their careers to those that have gone before! It would a HUGE crowd and probably even a TV special.
