I always like Jacksonville Beach and always will. Great photos!

Great pictures.  I almost feel like I'm there on this dreary, rainy day.

I had no idea there was a roller coaster out there at some point.  And the beach was hopping way back in the day!  Wow

I like the new medians and the new trees. Silver Date Palms, instead of the overused regular Date Palm. Just a little insight from an agricutlture major, those trees alone are worth about $8,000 each, and I may be estimating on the lower end. Still, great stuff.

I've said it before and I'll say it again--if there were a book of your photo tours, I'd buy at least ten of it.

I think this article was just an excuse to take photos of pretty ladies in bikinis. BTW, could you publish the original size photos.

It is pretty, but as I see the work happenning, I question the wisdom of investing so many tax dollars in medians and landscaping.

Come on out this summer and watch the congestion nightmare. Those who live and work at the beaches deal with Orange Park like commutes. Devising a more efficient north/south corridor, as well as parking for beachgoers seems a more pressing need.

how about a tour and history of the old section of atlantic beach?

[reednavy]

A new Mellow Mushroom, quite large I may add, opened recently beside the old Harry's location. It Looks good and striking with the use of dark colors and rich wood on the exterior. I couldn't tell if it was stone, stucco, and painted cement, but looks good.

Will somebody PLEASE put the arcades and amusement park back on the Beach Walk? It is part of our heritage and would probably make a fortune in the summer alone.

A little skeeball never hurt anyone did it?

[Ocklawaha]

Yeah, and the punch board games were a flem flamers delight.
