sorry but that name isn't much better. 

Plus, I'm pretty sure there is already a "The District" in Jacksonville.  It is a student-oriented apartment complex near UNF.

Did you suggest a better name, tufsu?  If you weren't part of the process, you can't be mad at the result.

[tufsu1]

^ I'm not mad...could honestly care less

[Tacachale]

That's... quite a name.

So when are they breaking ground?

Name is better than Healthy Town.  I'm surprised after all that they only came up with "The District" though.  I can think of 3 off the top of my head that would be better though . . . Riverview District, Shoreline District, Southbank Square.

I don't give a flip what they name the thing.  I just want to see dirt moving.  They've had what looks to be an environmental services company out there for a few weeks with a small drill rig.  Either way there has been someone out there doing preliminary work of various types for a couple of months which is promising!  I think this may actually happen

There is already a "The District" church and a "The District" apartment complex near UNF.
