13 moves that destroyed Downtown Jacksonville

Quote:Not being facetious, but when was that and to whom?


I was vacationing for 15 years in Florida before I moved here in 1991 and Jacksonville was just the first city that you drove through, which was about the only distinguishing characteristic it had.


In the early 1900s. Jax and Tampa were the two main towns of Florida and Jax was seen as a major tourism spot for northerners. Not only that but Jacksonville was the film destination during the winter months went it was too cold to film up North.


Due to Hollywood taking off and anti-film sentiment, the film industry completely left Jax.


Jax started to really get passed by after WWII. Miami started its population boom and Orlando got Mickey Mouse.
