Downtown.<br />
What would it take<br />
to lure you away<br />
from the TV or the<br />
mall or the beach<br />
for a few hours<br />
Downtown?<br />
The obvious choices are the<br />
sports and entertainment venues<br />
that are concentrated in the heart<br />
of the city.<br />
But life in Jacksonville is a lot<br />
richer and more interesting and<br />
stimulating than that. And a proper<br />
Downtown should offer you<br />
a range of attractions and activities<br />
to make living in the big city<br />
worthwhile.<br />
This won’t be a standard guide<br />
to amusement and merriment;<br />
you can get that at downtownjacksonville.org.<br />
A 21st century Downtown also<br />
offers enlightenment, fascination<br />
and inspiration.<br />
