We frequent Bisciotti's, Josephine, Mojos and Southern Grounds. All 5 star locations for us. No chains here for shopping either. Everything is a privately owned specialty.

If you haven't spent a day in Avondale, do yourself a favor and check it out. If you're from Jacksonville, you know, but it's one of the hidden gems of Florida.

This is a small strip mall off of Wilson Blvd. on the westside of Jax. It contains Dollar General,…read moreChina Wok (which is actually one of our favourite places to grab Chinese), and a drive-up Vystar ATM. Until recently, those were the only reasons I came here. Wilson Square was unremarkable with a horrible parking lot. Dodging the potholes could have been made into a game. Well, what has happened recently to make it noteworthy and deserving of 4 whole Yelpie stars? A Walmart Neighborhood Market just opened there a couple of weeks ago. Yes, i'm quite excited about that! I've always been more fond of the Neighborhood Markets rather than the large Walmart stores and now I have one close to me. Yay! I know, it's those little things in life. Thanks to Walmart, the entire parking lot has now been repaved and all the lines have been freshly painted. They even redid the curbs, shrubs, etc., so now it's esthetically pleasing. Thank you, Walmart. I'm not sure how long the run-down Dollar General will last now that it has Walmart to compete with literally right next door. We shall see. Oh, and there's also a Metro PCS and a couple of other small stores here which I've never paid attention to. Check out the photo I added which lists all the stores, if you are interested. And I almost forgot. There's now a Redbox here. Thanks again, Walmart!

The dispensaries opens at 9 am, not sure what time the coffee shop opens. One reason for minus one star is sadly the homeless people that live and sleep in the area. Second reason is the Landlords raising the rent so high, they've lost about the 1/4 of tenants. How sad and tragic. The biggest loss is Bogers Shoes and Mixed Fillings Pie Shop. Pros:cars let pedestrians cross at the crosswalk. Great stores on the strip. Cons:Homelessness and Landlord disputes with former tenants. Parking can be difficult. Recommend:yes

The name comes from it is where five roads intersect. It is a hip enclave that draws an eclectic collection of people. It is a great destination if you are in the Jacksonville, Florida area. I love these cool enclaves that give a city a personality. We need these neighborhoods where people can gather and just chill and meld together to be what is beyond a bunch of people, they become a community. Five Points is a cool enclave and I would definitely recommend heading here.

Busy with evening restaurants tonight, there was just about enough parking but it was close. The building is in good condition and shows little wear. Parking lot could use a repave but the lighting after dark was good. Main tenants include a pizza place, Japanese, cell phone store, dental office, a Subway and a wings place. A McDonald's, Winn-Dixie and several hotels are also neighbors. [Review 10923 overall, 695 of 2019.]

If I had to pick the anchor store, I would guess it would be the Mega Liquidation Center, though I came in here on a quest for Mexican food and heard about this place called Pepe's Hacienda. In addition to those two businesses, I noticed a pizzeria, a dentist called Economy Dentistry. A University of Florida Pediatric Center, a Quest Diagnostics, a dry cleaners and various other small businesses who call this shopping center home. Oh, there were also a few banks. The parking lot looks well maintained and the shopping plaza was relatively clean. All in all, my visit to this plaza and the Mexican restaurant was a positive one. While I would not recommend coming here to do some shopping, it is not a bad place to head to if you have business in one of the businesses here.

It's got a variety of shops, but it definitely could use some fresh places. I just hope they can refill the shops and give me options to support locally in my own neighborhood rather than having to - goodness forbid - cross the ditch! Even a quick service chain like Panera would be nice for this end of the beach; I'll guess we'll have to wait and see.
