Pretty neat to see. My parents own a house here on Philips Highway that was built back in the 1940's. Back then there was maybe 206,000 people in Jacksonville. Where I live at on Kernan is also interesting. My house was built back in 1992. My grandfather and father worked construction back in the late 1970's and early 1980's and they did a lot of ground work in these pockets in East Arlington.

I remember when me and my wife bought our home in 2012. There wasn't really much to look at where Kernan Square is now. Kernan Square has developed quite a bit now between the apartment complex they threw up behind the Academy there and now you have that L.A Fitness that's been there a minute. I think we didn't have that Seven Eleven there yet. Now you have Racetrac, the Movie Theater, a Chic Fil A, Whataburger, a Chipotle, a Medical spot, etc.

Been fun to see it all grow but also it gets crowded. We live right near Landmark Middle School and the two elementary schools nearby our neighborhood. Think they're fixing to knock down more land right across from us to add more right next to the Church and one of those schools.
