Jacksonville is a city that, despite what it has to offer, is often given a bad reputation nationally.
As a result, potential visitors or even potential future residents are scared away from a city that they might have loved.
So to help those who are still on the fence about Jacksonville, we’ve compiled a few of the most common – and most inaccurate – myths about the city and an explanation of why they’re simply not true.
For many years, Jax struggled to find a cultural identity. But nowadays it’s more about trying to pick from several options.
The city has a growing and thriving art culture, highlighted by the beautiful murals and art installations throughout downtown. Riverside serves as a hub for creativity and young thinkers. Riverside Arts Market has become a weekly institution, and several other monthly art walks are hosted throughout the city.
The city also has the advantage of world-class venues such as Florida Theatre and the newly-built Daily’s Place that draw top-level talent to Jax from all over the world.
If you think Jax lacks culture, you’re simply not looking hard enough.
Still nothing to do,unless you eat a lot. We need a variety for people not just arts. Not everyone is into the theater or art. Some of use are more adventurous. We need all kinds of amusement. Idle minds create crime.
