Me too. I hope a deal can be worked out.

The true long-term success of something like Lot J is making downtown a more viable place to live. Jacksonville is just too spread out for people to just "wander down to Lot J" for the evening. It has to be more than the annual aerial shot of the Florida/Georgia game that people forget about when they leave. They have to create something there that draws families down there. I know an aquarium was mentioned at some point. That would be cool.
