Don’t Miss Architectural and Historical Downtown - We had a wonderful tour. Our guide was a knowledgeable woman who cared very deeply about Jacksonville’s downtown, the architecture, its history and its people. We learned about all the changes that are proposed and happening to the riverfront. Riding in the TukTuk, similar to golf cart, gave us a closeup view to the buildings. Gives you insight and appreciation for what cities can do to help their downtown thrive again. 👏👏
