We went up to Jacksonville to see what the Riverwalk was like yesterday (President's Day). Lunch at the River City Brewing Company then a stroll. Hard to navigate to as parking is not well designated. We stayed on the South Bank instead of crossing north on the Acosta bridge.
Good lunch prices in the low to mid teens and surprising that the crowds stayed away☺.
We need to go back. Didn't ride the people mover and I would have liked to study the RR bridge on the north-west end. Lots of construction going on. I will try to load pics next.

I love Jacksonville now but I've been hanging around Florida long enough to remember when I'd wish I could hold my breath when passing through town. There was a effluvium that was a cross between a volcanic sulfur vent and an overloaded outhouse. It was so bad, you could "taste" it.......seriously, the air had an acrid "taste". This was because of the pulp mills. It was harmless but whooie.....
 
I made a small album, 6 pixs from the south bank. Now, how to add it here ... That kinda worked.

We lived in Jax in 1976. Used to enjoy sailing in the St John's river south of all the bridges. St Augustine was 30 minutes south, we went there often.
