Good morning from McPherson Park where volunteers from @SPARJax are doing a great job helping keep it clean and litter-free. They just adopted the park through the @jaxparks Adopt-A-Park program.
For more details, email adoptapark@coj.net, or go to jacksonville.gov/adoptapark.

Unfortunately, we recently lost a beautiful local landmark in our Historic District due to an emergency demolition for faulty structural integrity. Severe problems such as this don't happen overnight, often taking many years to develop. We hope to find a solution with @CityofJax.

For those of us who love historic buildings and might be working on a rehabilitation, it’s important to document what you see before the structure begins to change. Once you alter physical aspects of a structure, you can never return it to what it was.

Spring is here—time to wake up with nature. Studies show trees lower stress & boost well-being. No fancy tricks, just you the trees.
Tag a friend who needs a nature reset on the #EmeraldTrailJax this week! 🌿💚 #GroundworkJax

Thanks to Brick and Beam for their continued support! The building has been transformed over the last century, from pharmacy to liquor store to dance club to today's unique event venue. Great example of adaptive reuse & historic preservation! Take a look: brickandbeamjax.com
