I posted a comment about a meeting today at the Burrito Gallery at Urban Jacksonville.

The meeting is about the traffic plans that JSO and our city has for after big events at the sports and entertainment complex. Basically if you haven't been to a truck pull or jags game, Adams, Bay, and State Street are all lanes West bound so that you can't help but getting on 95 smoovely. Oh and you can't turn off any of them either, possibly to get a beer or burrito or shooter or whatever. In addition to that you can't cross any of these either. If they are not roadblocked, manned by JSO (who will not let you through, end of story), then the lights are blinking and with four lanes of traffic going one way for 60,000 plus, its as good as blocked off.

If you have an experience or other such comment on this please let me know. I've gotten a couple since my comment on UJ. Like my mom couldn't go to mass on Christmas eve (true story, from Springfield). Or I was at publix in Riverside and couldn't get home in Springfield and I had ice cream! (not as true but close). Or I just opened an independent record store in Springfield and most of my consumers come from Riverside (soon to be true), etc..

I think only retailers were invited to this meeting and even some of them didn't get the memo. If you look on DVI's website you can get the latest hours for dinner at Chew.
