And I ate either at Barbara Jean's or Lulu's a long time ago (maybe both?). Can't remember it much...is it on Roscoe?

Yup, it's on Roscoe.

Also, Riverside & Avondale are still significantly diferent from one another. The residents, home values, and types of events/businesses in each area are a good indicator (ie, you'd never see Zen Cog, Anomaly, Underbelly, Fans N Stoves, Universe of Superheroes, etc in the Shoppes of Avondale).
Many people that live in Avondale wouldn't live in Riverside, and most people who live in Riverside can't afford to live in Avondale.

I was not very impressed with 13 Gypsies when we went...small portions, good but nothing special. I admit I was expecting to be wowed a whole lot more after all the positive write-ups.

A new comer and the BEST fried chicken in the city. Beach Buds Chicken in Jacksonville Beach. They also have the best Peruvian Gold Nuggets I have ever had!! This is not fast food, it is cooked to order! It's a great place for students too because they have a $6.00 student special!
