We’re excited to have a feature article explaining what the Urban Facelift Project is running over on metrojacksonville.com.  We’ve been a fan since they started and have the same stance on a majority of the items that they cover, especially development and mass transportation.

A brief summary of who and what Metro Jacksonville is:

Founded by a small group of young professionals in March of 2006, the mission of Metro Jacksonville is to educate and provide an avenue for discussing the important issues facing our city. We strive to be a reliable source of information and to increase public awareness about the urban core and promote continued urban and pedestrian oriented growth in the Jacksonville metropolitan area.

And apparently Joey was beaten to the punch with writing his UFP article, but he was awesome enough to recommend us on Urban Jacksonville Weekly, a weekly, I know -  repetitive, radio show he co-hosts with The Urban Core and Jacksonville.com.  Urban Jacksonville Weekly really needs to be a Jax resident’s 5:30ish Tuesday tradition.   If you’re one of our local readers you no doubt know about Urban Jacksonville, but for the rest of you:

Urban Jacksonville is a weblog about the core neighborhoods surrounding Downtown Jacksonville, Florida. I write about things that are happening in Downtown, Springfield, Brooklyn, LaVilla, the Southbank and San Marco. Urban Jacksonville was created to provide a different point of view on the events in and around these neighborhoods. A point of view you won’t find on the 6:00 news or the Sunday edition of the Times Union. It is raw, unrefined and real.

ps. I think this post holds the record for us using the word “urban.”

pps.  Urban, urban…urban.  Just making sure.
