We'll be cruising around on electric scooters, making it easy to cover lots of ground while soaking up the sights and sounds of downtown. Our first stop will be to check out some of the incredible murals that can be found scattered throughout the city. Jacksonville is home to a thriving arts scene, and the colorful and vibrant murals that adorn many of the buildings are a testament to this.
Next up, we'll be visiting Sweet Pete's Candy Store, a local institution that's been satisfying sweet cravings for over a century. We'll take a tour of the store, sample some of their delicious treats, and learn about the history of this Jacksonville gem.
Finally, as the day turns into evening, we'll take a relaxing stroll along the Jacksonville Riverwalk, which offers stunning views of the city skyline and the majestic St. Johns River. The gentle breeze, the sound of the water, and the twinkling city lights make for a truly magical experience. So, let's get started on our day of exploration and discovery in downtown Jacksonville!

Jacksonville is awesome I just moved here 2 months ago from Rochester NY first time visiting or coming to the state of Florida was only 5 years ago now for me. Very affordable place to live but one major thing I will note do not walk around or go out at night in Jacksonville without a gun you will regret it eventually. Great content.

Thanks so much for watching. Have you been to the pie place - Mixed Fillings? We highlighted them in one of our other videos in Jacksonville. Incredible Pie Place.
I love Jacksonville Florida❤ I have lived here for 5 years and Jacksonville keeps getting better and better. After living in multiple areas in Jax I have figured it out. Like most large cities there are good areas and bad areas. Jax is a huge massive city land wise. I would say 40% of Jax is low income high, crime, and neglected "Bad" areas. These are near downtown on the Westside, Downtown on the eastside north of stadium, alot of east arlington, near St Nicholas... These areas are lower income or economically disadvantaged. Generally speaking the majority of the entire west side of jacksonville is lower income or lower middle class. Where is the best places to live then? If your family is making near or over 6 figures you would enjoy buying in a middle to upper middle class area you should consider Bartram, Communities in St Johns County, Mandarin, The Beaches Jax Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Ponte vedra Beach, Generally anything East of 295 beltway toward the beach.

Thanks for sharing that information. JAX is such a big city to explore.
Jacksonville's original name was Cowford, as ranchers would "ford" cows across the river, near the Cow Muriel. Just saying! 🤓

The craziest thing the city empties on the weekends. Even restaurants are not open. Normally we like to film during the week for fewer crowds but jacksonville it is the opposite! Thanks for watching

Jacksonville downtown is growing but it’s not there yet! Many projects in the works. In addition, being the largest city it’s very spread out so it’ll never be jammed pack in one area unless it’s an event. Give Jax about 5-10 years and come Back, the difference will be evident.

@@famupicolo You are so right - there are so many areas of the city to explore. I wish they would finish the Friendship fountain. We have been 3 times but they were still working on it. Maybe for our 4th visit!
