Quotes from Visitors

"Five Points was one of my favorite places while visiting Jacksonville. The small boutiques were charming and the urban atmosphere was unlike the rest of Jacksonville." -Review from VirtualTourist.com

"A very interesting neighborhood for people watching, Five Points draws extravagantly pierced punks and goths, geek chic local artists, self-proclaimed vampires, guitar-toting next-generation hippies and other free spirits that together bring as much color as the brightly painted brick walls, sidewalks and storefronts that define the neighborhood."
