We were downtown to pop into the Visit Jacksonville Center to redeem one of our Jax Ale Trail passports for the t-shirt and parked right next to this beauty! Very lifelike hands carrying a stack of books- I am a huge fan of reading. I truly believe it expands our minds, consciousness and understanding and lends the benefit of sparking the imagination. I have been an avid reader most of my life, raised in a household where no one else enjoyed reading. I tried very hard to instill that same passion in my children- which was hit or miss. This mural has always made me want to pick up a book. I hope you do as well. Title: The Function of Education Artist: Case Maclaim Location: 25 W Forsyth St

There is so much hustle and bustle and -honestly- a question of safety is always an underlying feeling. It doesn't even matter the city, it just is. I feel like I could just be swallowed up by it. That being said- I love the chaotic energy that a busy city brings. It's tangible. The high alert, looking everywhere, in awe of towering buildings or art everywhere. The vast difference in people around you. I've been downtown when it is crazy busy and when the city is near quiet. At night- when leaving a show, late- the lights, the skyline is almost dreamlike.
