Introduction	My career in local television news has taken me all over the country. TV news is and has been my focus and love, but I've retained a life-long interest in buildings and architecture that began in the historic neighborhoods of my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. When I was growing up I often urged my dad to "drive through Riverside (or Avondale/San Marco/Springfield) on the way home." I wanted to see the old houses and buildings. They made me happy. They still do. I don't live in Jacksonville anymore, but my wife and I have a "getaway" place on the river in San Marco and we are often there. And just as when I was a kid, I still enjoy walking, biking or driving through these historic neighborhoods on the St. Johns River. The streets are lined with live oaks and palm trees, beautiful homes, inviting apartment buildings and small neighborhood commercial buildings dating back to the turn of the last century. I'd like to share some of my favorites on this blog. I intend to eventually add pictures and commentary on historic neighborhoods in other cities that I love, but I'm starting with Jacksonville because that's where I started.
