It's been a while since I posted in this thread. Just FWIW - Blue Bamboo is an Asian fusion restaurant which has been around for perhaps 3 years. Bamboo Creek is a new Chinese restaurant which serves dim sum from carts during lunch hours. They are relatively close to one another (in the Southside/Tinseltown area) - and both pretty good (especially in terms of Asian food in Jacksonville) - but different kinds of restaurants.

The town center mall is relatively new - large - and still growing. Everything from Target to Louis Vuitton.

There are 2 factory outlet malls at the St. Augustine exit of I-95. One is in the process of being redone - with a new "Saks Off Fifth".

The zoo has a new giraffe exhibit - on a boardwalk - which allows you to look a giraffe in the eye. Great new exhibit.

For golfers - the new clubhouse at the TPC at Sawgrass (75,000 sf) in Ponte Vedra is finished - and the Stadium Course has been renovated. Must play course for serious golfers - and the food at the new clubhouse (open to the public) is really good. Robyn
