Is there any hope of something like a grocery store opening up in downtown Jax? I have noticed many people have mentioned the need for one, but are there any actual plans or any talk of some sort on the subject?

well, there's Publix on the west of downtown (Riverside), a winn-dixie (under remodeling) on the west end. There's nothing in the middle. Land there isn't cheap there right now I think, and they'll need the land for parking space.

CITY MARKET will be opening in the near future. They are going to have demolition permits in hand within the next few days... so construction is not far off. If you notice in Folio this week, they have taken out a half page add.

Metro Jacksonville - "The Library"

I liked the chocolate factory idea, but this sounds even better.

So is City Market a grocery chain, Gradco?

Anyone attending the First Wednesday Art Walk can view The Library plans -- the building is always open with some kind of exhibit or event, and the plans are always on display. I love the whole idea--quite a magnet in my opinion and creates a purpose in the future for going downtown--and I'm happy that the 1960s architecture will be kept on the facade.
