Mostly any place that was near the ocean was very lucrative back in the early 1900s. But now in the year 2020 the generations of people's children are destroying our precious paradise.

Oh, the woes of Jacksonville's current economic situation! Well, guess what? It's not the fault of today's generation. Those baby boomers and their brilliant decisions, like urban sprawling, white flight, and counterurbanization, set the stage for this mess. Enjoying the consequences now, aren't we? 🙄

Jacksonville is 200 years old as part of the US. It was already owned by a former slave that was set free from Spanish rule. Andrew actually raided her land and took over, that's why they call it Jacksonville

Hahaha what are you talking about??? This was known as the town of cowford where the most shallow part of the St John's could be used to cross cattle on fairies with the lowest risk of drowning if something went wrong! It was an Indian village and military base before that it was not owned by some mythical black woman who was a freed slave or whatever you're talking about the Spanish owned slaves to go to Kingsley Plantation!!!! 👍✌️
