This was the last African-American school on the island. It's located in a residential area off the…read morebeaten path. But it's not that hard to find if you see the red barn on Frederica. Go down to 912 South Harrington and you'll see it on the left. The school offers some info about the heritage of the Gullah-Geechee culture on the island. I'd first learned about these people when visiting South Carolina years back. In general, the people were descendants of slaves brought to work on the coastal low country plantations in the southeast. Because they were more isolated, they were able to maintain their own cultural traditions and develop their own creole language. I was able to peek in the windows only. They are closed except for a few days during the week when open for very limited hours mid-day. The grounds are nicely maintained. And the sundial stands out on the path to the front door. It also looks like the school has been freshly painted.

The lines to get into this place are a complete joke. Over an hour wait for such a small venue is…read morepathetic. Open up some more entrances or something. Will not be back for any type of show.

This is a nice event space in Ocala. It is located right by the OTOW community…read more We were there to see a concert (Herman's Hermits' frontman, Peter Noone). The place is very clean. The seating was comfortable. As this is used as a space for all sorts of events such as conferences and weddings, seating is not stadium seating, but the chairs were really nice, and they have ushers to help with rows. The restroom facilities are clean and ample. This might be the first concert I've been to with enough restrooms that there were no lines! Lots of self parking outside, but you might have to walk a bit.

I have been to a few events here and really enjoyed all of them!…read more First they do a Turkish Festival which shows off their culture and food, so good! Next was a calligraphy class which I really enjoyed and was so impressed with his skills! We attended a celebration of Ramadan where you broke fast and got to talk and ask questions and just enjoy a meal together, I really loved it, it warmed my heart we sat at a big table and all just talked I felt the girls hosting were so warm. I also enjoyed learning about their culture. They host a lot of events and look forward to going to more!

It's been years since i wrote my review and I've been back several times. They regularly hold…read morefestivals and events here. Sometimes they offer cooking classes (i learned how to make köfte [kind of like meatloaf but with tastier spices] and a few other dishes), forums (coffee and discussion sessions), Turkish language classes, etc. I also took my son to a few of their festivals throughout the years (i even have a photo of him drinking Camlica lol). They sometimes held the festivals at other locations. One year they held it at fscj. That year, my son and i made pictures using the paint on water surface technique called ebru. It's now displayed in my house with one being of Jacksonville and the other being of Istanbul, (which are coincidentally where my hubby and i grew up). They have also changed locations into a much bigger stand alone building. (Address is correct on yelp.) I like what istanbul cultural center is doing for the Turkish community in Jacksonville (namely because they welcome outsiders to join and learn about their culture instead of making it exclusive). If it wasn't for this organization, i would not know anything at all about this beautiful culture. it must have left an impact on me, because my hubby is Türk! Bu yerde harika! (Now, it would be great if Jville got an equivalent Manila Cultural Center!!!)
