Thanks for the great post Lakelander!

It gives us all great insight as to what is happening all over the city, not just down-town.

I may have a few good pics for you to add from the superbowl. If you want I could e-mail them to you.

[bobliocatt]

Sure. You can send them to [email protected]

Very nice pictures,I was planing to take some shots myself but have no time for it....No all we need is "Jacksonville Girls section" :-))

[bobliocatt]

That would be nice, but my wife might not be too keen on me snapping pics of other women.

What is the date that the St Johns Town Center is supposed to open?

[bobliocatt]

Jo Ann Fabrics is already open. Most of the center should be open by the end of March. Right now, half the stores look completed. All they need is to stock the merchandise.

Some incredible pics Lakelander. Makes me homesick. I've seen 2 places I've worked and one school I attended in your photos.

Great pics as always, Lakelander

I love photo-threads! And now that I have DSL I no longer heed the 56K warnings!

BTW, I love that angle above the train-tracks. That will offer one of the best views of Riverpointe!

By the way, did you take that picture above the tracks...I wasn't sure because it looks like a difficult shot.

[bobliocatt]

I did take it directly over the tracks. However, it was pretty easy because I was on the bridge that takes the riverwalk over the RR tracks. Its quicky become a popular spot for people and kids who like watching the drawbridge come down for the trains.

[wolfdawg54]

Really! I have never heard of that. I will have to check it out sometime. How do you get there.

[bobliocatt]

Anywhere along the Northbank riverwalk. Just park your car and walk toward the Acosta Bridge. The closest parking lot, is off Riverside Ave, right behind the YMCA.

The Northbank extension is so great! Walking its length provides many stunning angles of both sides of the Riverfront. This weekend, weather permitting, some friends and I will plop down on a bench or on the ground to study and then take a break, strolling to The Landing for a few alcoholic beverages. I recommend everyone see it while it is still in a prestine state.

Thanks. I knew the Riverwalk was extended but I did not know that it was elevated over the tracks. Now that I think about it, I did see a ramp going under the Acosta Bridge on the southern part of the Northbank, but I did not know what it was.
