Its been a while, so I figured it was time to go out and get some shots around downtown (both sides of the river) and for a bonus, I threw in some shots of an urban neighborhood north of downtown. This is my last Jax photo thread before next year's Super Bowl, so enjoy.

**BONUS**

The following pics are of Springfield, one of Jacksonville's oldest neighborhoods. Established in 1868, it sits just north of downtown.

WoW..that was a very good tour of Urban Jax...I especially liked the riverwalk extension one (the 4th one) with the view of downtown it the fog in the distance!

Mesmerizing...thanks lakelander!!

Great tour! Springfield looks especially interesting. I've never seen it before. Looks like there is a lot of infill taking place!

Cool! First time I get to see Jacksonville street pix.

Great pics.. I've seen professional pics that don't highlight Jacksonville as well your pics did!!

P.s. Do you think you can post these pictures and some pictures of the skyline in the Rate Our Skylines forum??.. That would be awesome!!!

AMAZING pics!

nice buildings love the 4th pic, and good bridges,

lool that metrorail is like a bus, its pretty small, but cool again,

cant wait for those new towers

Nice pics. Is this system similar to the PeopleMover in downtown Miami? :)

http://img111.exs.cx/img111/8240/skyway-southbank.jpg

^Yes, the Skyway is exactely the same type of system as Miami's downtown metromover.

Enjoyed the pics, Lakelander! Thanks!

wow, a city in Florida with a Historical District, I thought it was all bland, shiny and white.
Nice to see that Jacksonville hasn`t sold its sole to the devil ( cheap developers ) like Miami has, that city just looks a mess now and has lots all its charm.

Good looking city! I would like to see more!
