JSimms, thanks for all of these pics!! I'm ashamed to say, I lived in Jax about 12 years, and in Tampa only 2 years, yet visited the Salvador Dali museum twice and have not been to the museum in Jax once (I really am embarrassed). But that will all change this year, as I'm hoping to be one of the newest renters in Riverside, at least while I go back to school.

And I giggled at your comment about everyone bundled up with the temps below 70's. I have always told people that you can pick out the tourists, because they have their bathing suits and shorts on, no matter what the temp is, but those of us that live here have to get out the coats and hats when it gets in the 60's!!

Thanks again for all of these pix! These are worthy of being published in a "coffee table" book, of which I own a few. Have you thought of contacting a publisher? These pix on the web site are nice, but nothing beats a tangible, heavy book that you can browse through on a rainy afternoon.

Also, looking at the JTB pics, I am reminded of when I first moved to Jax back in 1991. I worked at the American Express building on Centurion Parkway and drove from East Arlington for 5 years. JTB at Gate Parkway consisted of just blinking traffic lights, with nothing out there. The Amex building was only one of 2 or 3 buildings out there at the time, and I remember NO traffic on JTB at all....wow, what a difference 20 years makes!!
