ARLINGTON - Jacksonville Florida 💯🌴

[@mariowalker9048]

Arlington is pretty much its own town like the Northside, Southside and Westside. It's another big chunk of Duval county

[@willbygosh4887]

Arlington was actually a city before Jacksonville annexed it when the city consolidated in 1968,Jacksonville is the largest city in area(overc740 Square miles) if the mainland US,largest populated city in Florida,should hit over 1,000,000 people later this decade.Bunnell is the second largest city in area with about 140 square miles larger than Tampa or Orlando,they annexed alot of agriculture and forested area,the City has only has about 3,000 people.

Well read sir

I wish I was a dog so i wouldn't have to worry about paying bills.😂😂😂

[@monickalynn4365]

Arlington has changed,and for the worst. Grew up in Arlington, Fort Caroline area. Went back in 2018. Was shocked. Orange Park also has gone to hell

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

I am just glad latinos are moving in, because those houses were gotta rot to crap soon if people didnt move in the same can be said about the vacant buildings. Since 2018 its improved alot.

[@trixie8052]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I’m sorry normally I agree with your comments but on this one you are incorrect. Arlington has NOT improved since 2018, it has gotten MUCH worse. Florida native who grew up in the Arlington/Fort Caroline area that has watched the steady decline.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

@@trixie8052 theres more people moving, it will improve. Jacksonville wont be recognizable in 5 years.

[@ryanmanley7832]

And to think you captured some of the most tame sections of Arlington.

Duvalllllll!!!!

At 17:13 ...On right side just past Lillian Rd was the old Arlington movie theater. Used to go there a lot as a kid in the 70s. 17:33 Yellow Bldg was Arthur Treachers Fish and chips. Years later they left and across the street at Rogero and Arlington Rd was Long John Silvers. Now, Domino's it looks like. Rogero is pronounced ''Row-hair-Oh'' in case y'all didn't know... But as kids, We called it ''Roger---Oh''.... Lol

[@dariush3587]

You didn't go down Justina... 😂

[@LowTideLowLife]

Grew up there from a baby till 14....Threw alot of hands being a White boy.

[@anitajinfla9762]

19:44 Danny Joe Brown of Molly Hatchet fame, had his son in the church day care back in the day. My friend had had Danny J. Jr. In her class...as preschool teacher.

[@livenlearn360]

I live in Arlington. Next time you come through here you show the Woodland Acres neighborhood also known as Sin City

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

will do

[@saturn722]

I had an afternoon paper route in there in the mid 70’s but lived in Arlingwood at the time.

[@anitajinfla9762]

26:26 Jax Uni was further north up University right past apartment complex you turned into and went back to Rogero to Cesery..... That whole area has gone downhill for years, resembles Blanding and 103rd St.... But University is narrower.

[@WanderingAroundAZ]

I grew up in Arlington in the mid-late 70s. Our home was in University Park... just past Ft. Caroline Rd. on University Blvd. I would love to see the area go through a major revitalization. Jacksonville University was just past where you turned around on Univeristy Blvd. You were just a few feet from the southern border of the campus.

[@saturn722]

Me too! I grew up in University Park from 68-78! The river and woods was my playground! What street were you on? I was on Wayland St!

[@WanderingAroundAZ]

@@saturn722 Schirra

[@saturn722]

@@WanderingAroundAZ I had no idea that area was considered University Park. My parents best friends lived on St Isabel Dr. They were Dolores and Russell Alderman. Their children were David, Dawn and Denise. Another family was the Wiedner’s. Any chance you knew them?

[@Duvalboy904]

I live in Arlington currently and me personally consider arlington to close to the expressway not pass st johs bluff and alantic and before both bridges

[@therealaustinpowers1967]

Yes Katt Williams did a joke about Regency. And Regency is a dead mall.

[@NoName-xo9sk]

Arlington is one of the worst areas in Jax.

[@willbygosh4887]

Regency Square is a dying mall now,it was built in 1967,expanded in the 80s.

[@monickalynn4365]

Yes,Regency was our Mall! It's vacated now

[@WanderingAroundAZ]

Yep, back in the day it was Regency Square Mall and Orange Park Mall.

[@dariush3587]

It died a long time ago 🤣

[@A-10-MANN333]

I remember going to Regency Square as a kid in the 80's and 90's .I lived in Orange Park and on Highway Avenue and my Grandma lived across town by the River on Woodrow Street...Oh how it has changed.Thanks for the video guys☺️🌻☺️

[@saturn722]

My first mall! My parents would take me there for dinner at the Piccadilly restaurant! We’re talking 1970-73. They had amazing fried chicken and green beans! My favorite restaurant was Patti’s Italian restaurant. It opened in 1951 on Beach Blvd which wasn’t even paved yet! I actually drove up from Orlando when I heard they were closing! The food was still great! That was 30 years ago!!

[@anitajinfla9762]

29:57 Those apartments on right at the light....used to be called The Villas. Arnold Palmer the golfer knew the developer back when they were built in the 70s... If I recall right... First called Villa De Palmas...or De Palmer.... But not sure. Its online some where. He had one if the townhouse apts...on the river supposedly.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

I got $150 For an Arnold palmer signed book

[@saturn722]

Why did you turn around on University after you passed Kelly’s Music store? It opened 60 years ago! That’s why the original Arlington looks like it does. A lot of these commercial buildings are in disrepair and it costs too much to knock’em down and rebuild. The areas surrounding Arlington are much newer and look it. There were many great restaurants and things to do when I grew up there in the 70’s.

[@shellzhimself]

Jose I got a question for you. Given the choice to move to Jacksonville Fl or Raliegh NC which would you choose?

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

NC, end up in Apex or Cary area. Mooresville nice too. jax okay near beaches but in the urban core crime is legit has a licensce to roam

[@shellzhimself]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Totally understood! I've watched so much of your videos. Great stuff!

[@Levisnteeshirt1]

It's really sad , Regency/Arlington were the nicest places to live and anything someone could ask for when I left in 1989 ,,, why doesn't law enforcement step up and get something done ? I know, they know where the trouble is ​@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS

[@syxcaxblearion7973]

Mookeys area ❤️💨 Big Y&R

[@johnsims2728]

Cottens is the BEST!

[@normalincoln8502]

I know this has been a while ago but I plan on moving up to the Jacksonville area. And I have a 14 year old autistic child? What part of Jacksonville is a good safe place to live? Kind of close to? The interstate. Because his dad? Is. A truck driver?

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

crime and violence in JAX is out of this world. you BETTER not end up in the city core. Go towards the beaches or as close to these as you can afford or st johns county. try to be east of the st johns river. east of 295 if you can afford it. basically anything INSIDE of 295 loop is bad except a few places. get closer to downtown or west of it.. gangland

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

arlington still has crime, be east of there

[@normalincoln8502]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS thank you. How about north Jacksonville
