Jacksonville: the undiscovered urban version

[bobliocatt]

I thought I share some photos I took of places around the city, while I searched for a place to stay. At a latter date I will post more in depth photo threads on some of these neighborhoods. Well lets get started!

rarely seen skyline view looking east from Beaver Street

a forgotten piece of LaVilla, a once vibrant African-American neighborhood

the funky Five Points district

Riverside I like this neighborhood the best

Riverside has a lot of mature landscaping

a row of one story Riverside homes

This area is littered with mom & pop shops and corner stores

corner of Park & King Streets in Riverside

Avondale - an extension of Riverside

I love the variety of architectural styles in Avondale

This upscale shopping district is in the middle of Avondale on St. Johns Avenue

San Marco-on the other side of the river

San Marco Blvd, just south of downtown

Houses along San Marco Blvd

an apartment complex on San Marco Blvd

there's a lot of red brick residences in San Marco

a typical street in San Marco

some nice looking older homes

I think this school is being renovated into lofts

The last couple of images show San Marco's neighborhood shopping district

Awesome pics, Lakelander!!! Thanks for the great tour, and I am looking forward to your future posts about Jacksonville. I feel that JAX is not as much represented as it should, but I know you will be taking care of this from now on
