There’s no better time to visit @cummermuseum than early spring, and just in time for their latest exhibition, Art in Bloom! 🌸🌷
Art in Bloom brings together nature-inspired works that echo the Cummer’s historic gardens, creating a gorgeous dialogue between what’s blooming outside and what’s on view inside.
We love this springtime shot in the gardens by @sanmarco.story!

One hundred years after its groundbreaking, the Greenleaf & Crosby Building has reopened at the heart of Laura Street! 🏙️
Built in 1926 in the Chicago School style, this landmark blends its original character — steel columns, vintage elevator cabs, and historic interior details — with modern amenities for today’s Downtown Jacksonville.
With office floors now complete, the building is becoming a true hub for dining, fitness, and entertainment: Pilates studio @hireformanceinstitute is already welcoming guests, with @oaksteakhouse and a speakeasy-style lounge on the way, plus a rooftop deck and shared amenity spaces coming soon.
Congratulations to @jwbrealestatecapital and @avantbuilds for bringing this DTJax icon back to life, and for helping fuel a more vibrant City Center while preserving Jacksonville’s architectural heritage.
