Pics of Jacksonville

[Fruit Cove]

[Fruit Cove's friend]

Fruit Cove do you think you can find a picture of the new St.Augustine Rd. Overpass at 95.??? It looks great

[wolfdawg54]

I have passed by there several times. It is a really neat overpass that will improve the entrance into the Jacksonville area.

i wish i had read that earlier today because i went to the avenues mall and to regal cinemas 20 and couldve snapped some shots. oh well maybe another time, it is coming together nicely though, the highest overpass is almost connected, it looks like 3 or 4 more concrete sections oughta do it.

The new overpass at St. Augustine Road is pretty impressive and a nice gateway, from the south, for the city of Jacksonville. Its even nicer at night. It also reminds me of the "Orlando" sign on Eastbound I-4 near the new mall and Universal Studios.

is that medical center just south of it almost completed?

Here's an interesting pic of the Mathew's Bridge toll in the 70's. Could you imagine the traffic if the tolls were still there?!

Just wanted to let you know that this is actually a photo manipulation notan actual photo. It was done during the design phase of the project.

It is completed and open. My mother does some work with Baptist and they just had the opening ceremony last week.

the night shots were taken in january and the attempted aerial was flying out thursday around 3.

[wolfdawg54]

The really did a good job with the Main Street bridge. The deep blue lights on the side just highlight the bridge. Also, what is that building on the far right so far out of downtown in the aerial? It is strange sitting there all alone.

[bobliocatt]

^That looks like the BCBS Building on Riverside Avenue.

[wolfdawg54]

I was thinking that but I thought that from the angle it seemed closer to downtown. I guess it could be but I was inquiring because I am not used to that angle of downtown.

[Fruit Cove]

yea its definately bcbs, you can tell by the shape at the top and location in relation to the rest of dt.

i went downtown last night with my youth group to work at the salvation army social service center. we served and greeted in the soup kitchen and it was a very enjoyable experience, i would recommend it to any of you, its very rewarding. anyway here are some pics i snapped, theyre not great because i didnt have time to actually stop but theyre better than nothing.

our destination

[bobliocatt]

Great pics. I've always wanted to get a shot of downtown from I-95, but its tough when you're the one driving.

[Urban_Legend]

Great shots of our future transit hub area!

[KBOAT]

Random question, I know, but does anyone know when and if BOA will change the lights on the top back to white instead of the Eagles colors of blue and green. I think it looks awesome when you are actually downtown, but from a distance, it isn't bright enough and just looks dark. I really love how all of the buildings have added the lights at night. Anyway, just curious!

[JaxNole]

All these pictures are fantastic. Two of my favorite views of downtown are from the Hart Bridge approaching the city and from 95 northbound exiting on Forsyth. There's a brief period where both the Northbank and Southbank form a more complete skyline, I think. Does anyone have a shot or 38571 from this location?

What year was that picture taken in? Is it around the early 70's?

The Modis building has always been my favorite building on the Jax skyline; it really looks awesome when it is enshrouded in mystery, i.e., fog and smoke encompassing the upper tier with the waist on down visible. It is indeed an iconic figure, and just think if it were 200 or so feet taller; it would really be a definite imposing structure!
