Title: What part of town do you hail?
Post by: Jason on October 03, 2008, 09:51:59 AM
Ok, I tried to be as comprehensive as possible with the options but I'm sure I may have missed some sections.  If you want me to add a section of town, send me a PM or reply in the thread.

Come 'on folks, there is no harm in voting.  This is totally anonymous.  Moderators, nor Administrators can see your vote.  ;)

I votededed.

You should just put major intersections as a part of town, that might get more people to vote. Example:  I'm from the skreets of University & Phillips hwy son!

I'm just playin'. Most are familiar with intersections but all of the different areas of town usually do have a name. It's just no one knows what they are!

Geez - Didn't know we had to be handicapped by Riverside. Even Bayard ranked, but no Avondale on its own.

I guess I should have broken the areas up based on the 4 quadrants of the county. 
Title: Re: What part of town do you hail?
Post by: CMG22 on March 26, 2009, 06:08:34 PM
Does any sort of map exist that depicts these areas?  In part or whole?  I'm familiar with most, but not all...
Title: Re: What part of town do you hail?
Post by: mtraininjax on March 28, 2009, 02:04:37 AM
Perhaps you could have listed OLD avondale (Talbot, Edgewood, Challen and Avondale) and left Riverside on its own.
Title: Re: What part of town do you hail?

Title: Re: What part of town do you hail?
Post by: Jason on March 30, 2009, 08:56:52 AM
I used Google Maps to generate the list.

And of course I could have listed more hoods or even broken out Riverside/Avondale but, frankly, the list was already growing exceedingly long because I was trying to include everyone.  I think it does enough to give an idea of the general area of residence of our members.  I wanted something more specific than "westside" or "beaches" but not so specific as to indicate street addresses.

I could have easily added maybe 10 or 15 more hoods to the list for the old city, many of which no one has ever heard of other than it's relation to a street name or creek.  I had to stop somewhere.  ;D  If anyone else has a specific neighborhood they would like added just fire me a PM and ask.  No biggie.

Besides, Avondale should be honored to be included with the likes of Riverside....  ;)

Don't listen to those picky idiots...what's the point of showing what areas of town people live in if everyone has their own sub-neighborhood listed?  Might as well listed it by street names!  No wait...individual blocks of each street!  YEAH!

LOL. That's a good one.

Not surprised on the voting. This is a very Springfield centric forum based on whose posting. It's nice to see that a lot of people who live in the boonies (you know who you are) have a genuine interest in Metro Jax. It would be great to see that grow in the future.

I once had a dream that I was in a convention for "Super Hero's", sitting at my table suddenly all the lights were on me and I was on stage, "This years hero CAPTAIN CANOE!" I woke myself up laughing (typical for my dreams)... FYI, CC has died and gone to canoe heaven! REALLY!

Jason, I'm joining you with a new St. Augustine address! Right now I hail from JTB and Hodges area, but it will soon be St. Johns, in World Golf Village. (Damn, maybe we'll finally meet!) Anyway, it's not really NW St. Johns as I'm more like West Central St. Johns and damn close to Green Cove Springs. So I voted NW St Johns as the closest...  But the toys at WGV and the price of a forclosure in mint condition were too good to be true! We'll see if it closes according to Hoyle. Y'all come down now ya hear? The fish are biting in Six Mile Creek!

Yay for the first and only East Mandarinite - I'm guessing that's Mandarin east of San Jose.  But I hail from SE GA originally, through old Arlington, the slums of San Marco and a few years in Miramar...it's all good.

I don't live in Jax, but it's still my City, and being that I am away I've adopted the downtown core as my neighborhood, and when I move back, I probably will live downtown.  When I lived in Jax I was always on the move and lived in Riverside, Avondale, Springfield, Ortega and Normandy.

The part of town I live in has so many names, it's difficult to say what our side of town is called. I live near Edward waters college, but, we have been called New Town, New Ground, Durkeevile/Myrtle Avenue, Midwest, and West. So, I guess it's according to what project the administration is working on. Then, I am quite sure there will be a name given to my community or side of town to match their needs.  :(

This particular forum supports a thought I've had about Jacksonville for awhile. It's really not one decent sized city, but a mess of small cities that grew and eventually stuck together. I suppose the same can be said by a lot of cities, but somehow, as always, Jacksonville is different. Our biggest asset, the river, also divides us, as do attitudes and interests, and IMHO, the divide is greater here than in a lot of comparably sized cities.

Began life in Jacksonville living at the Marybuilt on Stockton St across from John Gorrie.  Then moved down Stockton to Gilmore St, then to the Southside (Sans Souci).  After high school (Englewood), left town for about 35 years but have been back (in Riverside) for about 3 years and lovin' it.

Grew up mostly in the Springfield area in the 70's and then moved to the riverside/westside area in the 80's and stayed there until I moved out of state in 2001. I also spent a short time in the Northside (by Gateway mall) in the 1970's and the Southside area (by Regency Mall) in the 80's.

I grew up in Sin City (the bad part of Arlington) and then moved on to Regency, then the south side. After that, I spent some time out at Jax Beach, BACK to Regency then Baymeadows, Riverside, and now settled permanently in Ortega and living happily on a street named after a Native American tribe! I finally done it, Aunt Esther! What a wild ride!
