mayport: Mayport, Florida Revitalization Plans Stalled
- 03/12/11 12:01 AM
I'm sure this has happened in many areas of Florida, probably more common on the coast or inland waterways.
Mayport, Florida was hotly pursued as the next "It" area of Jacksonville. Located on the St. John's River, with ocean access just next door, land was gobbled up in anticipation of increasing land values and multi use land development that would bring buyers and retail stores by the dozens overnight.

mayport: Mayport Ferry Resumes Service, Mayport, FL
- 01/09/11 02:40 AM

It's also fun to ride the ferry vs. driving up 9A because of the great water views you get - sometimes, there is nothing like it.

mayport: Mayport NAS Ship Tour
- 12/16/10 11:48 PM
I had the opportunity to tour a ship at our local Naval Air Station, Mayport, in Northeast Florida last night. The Chamber of Commerce organized it, and, if you have never had the pleasure to visit, it is really a city within a city.
Our port is one of the largest, and most sought after posts, largely due to our ocean proximity (30 minutes to ocean), the low cost of living compared to other bases, and, of course, the fact that we are in Florida.
I've toured the base and ships before, but never at Christmas time. Below are some of … (0 comments)
