13 moves that destroyed Downtown Jacksonville

#25

Quote:I remember awhile back naming FBC as a force holding back downtown and Jax in general. I got a pm from another poster getting defensive about it. I'm pretty sure if I had continued I would have been arrested and taken to a morality "camp".
FBC hasn't held the same kind of influence over what happens downtown in a decade or more.  Their last hurrah was preventing the Super Bowl festivities from making it to Hemming Park because they didn't want the alcohol in the area.  Since then, the city has hosted multiple events including the One Spark events that allow alcohol sales and all sorts of things that would have never been allowed previously.  They've been humbled quite a bit by the downturn in the economy that has left them with fewer butts in pews. 

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
