Beethoven’s Bistro (5917 Roosevelt Blvd., 771-6606) got a little glory as the backdrop for a faith-based indie film called Daniel’s Lot. The film should be completed by Christmas.
Karlene’s Deli in the Jacksonville Landing closed down last month, leaving the store front empty once again.
Also closed Downtown, the beloved Worman’s, which has been around for a solid 70 years. Folks are attributing their demise to the unfinished courthouse.
Brown Brothers BBQ on King Street bit the dust last month. A sad turn of events, because although the Westside does have its share of barbecue, Riverside doesn’t.
On the bright side, weekly markets are popping up like mushrooms, possibly because of inspiration from RAM (that’s the Riverside Arts Market). The same folks that brought you the St. Johns Town Center Market will be opening up the Orange Park Market on Saturday October 3rd.
