WHat the hell is Intenational Drive?? 

 

I see post 2 from you on this thread is just a continuance of the first. You still offer nothing but strife to the table. 

 

I'll ask again, if what I've suggested is so ignorant....then by all means, enlighten me. I'd like to know specifically just why ideas/ suggestions I've made on this topic are bad. I'm giving you the floor. Preach, brother....

 

Have you ever been to the places you're talking about, yes or no?

 

If so, list those destinations individually and the number of times visited.

 

I rest my case.  No more spin, and redirection.  You've failed to refute my original point.

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

Ok, people you saw that. I tried on 3 different occasions to cordially get pirkster to actually participate in actual dialogue regarding the topic at hand and in all 3 occasions, he responded acrimoniously. 

 

Not sure why he can't just explain, elaborate on why the ideas mentioned were bad. And list some better ideas of his own if mine are really that off base. 

 

Maybe he's just miserable.

So according to your logic, I shouldn't say that LA should clean up its smog cause I have never been there... Got ya. Thats silly Perk. He had a good idea. Don't hate.

Peyton must store oxygen in that forehead of his. No way I'd still be alive after all that choking.

 

If so then they need to do something to permanently fix that.

 

As said, Khan has the financial resources to help make that happen in addition to ultimately making ten fold on the return of the investment potential.

 

 I have a question....Is Jacksonville beach considered part of Jacksonville or no?

 

Jacksonville has a lot of untapped potential. If done right, it could become a fantastic city for both locals and tourist. 

Jacksonville is a working city whose economy is largely based on being a port, a logistical hub for the state of Florida, and a home for the military.

 

Tourism is a saturated market in Florida. There is no way Jacksonville could carve out a niche. Tourist want the palm tree tropical Florida not the pine tree south Georgia Florida and are willing to travel the extra few miles for it.

 

The only way for Jacksonville to be able to support enough hotels to make reasonable accommodations for a super bowl would be to grow as a business center. We will never be an Orlando, Tampa, Miami, or New Orleans in as far as having tourism supporting our hotels, but we might be able to be a Phoenix, San Diego, or Atlanta who rely more on business travel to support their accommodations.

 

The connections that Jacksonville is making with London through Khan may help stimulate that growth.

Anyone can throw dung at a wall to see what sticks.  That means nothing without knowing the current social, economic, and political makeup of the city, its neighborhoods, and development successes, failures, and trends of the surrounding area.

 

There are many reasons things are the way the currently are, as there are many challenges and circumstances around them.

 

Without knowing a single thing about those challenges, is simply ignorance.  If you don't know, then you don't know.  Money to raise, pockets to grease, residents to involve (LOL... we can't even get a ChicFilA in Mandarin without raising holy hell, yet another of the laundry list of things he wouldn't know about)...

 

But really, the most telling is that he still refuses to answer my questions and get to the truth.  Because if you don't know, there's a lot of history behind the way things are, and you could never could understand the obstacles they're facing.

 

This is worse than the "stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night" joke.  In this case, "I drove by the Holiday Inn Express only once in my life but I did take a picture" is more appropriate.  Because he's embarassed that's the truth.  Our biggest fan only has a photo of the stadium.

 

And that's the rest of the story (and why he didn't want to answer.)

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

Shocker! People regard Jacksonville as one of the worst places to ever host the Super Bowl. This was probably in the back of peoples minds when voting

Gee, where did Bud Light ever come up with the idea to park a cruise ship in Super Bowl harbor? Imagine that....

See...thats what I'm thinking.....Jax needs to develop the area between the stadium and the beaches, and incorporate the beaches as part of the tourist lure. 

 

But its also important to have a vision too. 

 

Could a future stadium be put elsewhere more central to the development.....or could/ would it be better to just develop more stuff to do near the current stadium?....

 

Both things might not be mutally exclusive, too. 

 

All that we know is that Jacksonville has a lot of untapped potential as a city/ tourist lure. And Khan is a smart businessman with a ton of cash, who could make an even bigger fortune if the right decisions for development are made. 

 

WUT?

I don't know much about the city, so can I ask what you mean?

 

(I, like TMD, have never been to Jacksonville. I, however, will not pretend to know more about the city than citizens of the city).

The area between the stadium and the beach is probably the most densely populated corridor in the entire city.

 

Overdeveloped in a lot of places.
