We were in Jacksonville for a few days sightseeing. Our first stop was the Riverwalk, a 1.2 mile walkway around the Jax waterfront. We parked at the Stein Mart parking garage on Flagler Blvd.; from there, it was a short walk to the Riverfront on the Southbank section of the city.

Our visit did get cut short with rain moving in, but it was so much fun. …

When I heard "Riverwalk", I pictured the San Antonio Riverwalk, dozens of bars, shops, restaurants and folks walking around.

All around disappointing area that needs a quick makeover.…

We drove to where the Riverwalk used to be but it was all torn down with construction equipment and blockades in its place.
