I love Five Points, it's one of the reasons why my family chose to move to Riverside many years ago. Granted, it looked a wee bit different back then, not as fancy and polished (ahem, "gentrified"...) as it does now, but we still loved it. It harkens back to the time of Main Streets and Downtowns, not of big cities, but of tiny little towns in the heartland of America. This area is made for walking. There are many types of restaurants, from coffee shops to casual eateries to fancy restaurants to bars. Burgers, sandwiches, Asian food (of almost every kind imaginable), seafood, "German" type food, etc., can be found here. Many stores are here as well from fancy, kitschy dress shops to antique stores, a shoe store, a vape place, a dog boutique/salon/day care, gift shops, etc. My favorite movie theatre in the entire world is here as well. There are two very large, pretty churches in the corner by the park and one has an elementary school, so be aware of that during the school year. Best way to visit is to come early and find a parking space. (Watch where though, because some are marked private for businesses and will tow and others have time limits.) Also, if you end up parking on the fringes of Five Points, please be aware of and try not to block driveways or alleys. A tip on navigating the traffic light at the intersection of Park, Margaret, & Lomax Streets (the one that gives Five Points it's moniker), it is NOT a traffic circle, so please do not treat it as such. Park Street has a blinking yellow caution and the right of way through. Margaret and Lomax Streets have a red light and have to yield to traffic on Park Street. Always, keep to the right of the light as the sign says.

I have always loved 5 Points and I always will. It holds a very special place in my heart. When I moved to Jacksonville 17 years ago (wow, it really doesn't seem like it's been that long ago), I lived my first 2 years here in Riverside. I was in my early 20s and 5 Points was the place we hung out all the time. Back then we'd lounge on the couches in the smoke shop for hours, we'd hit Club 5 every Saturday night for Saturday Night Seduction, me and my girlfriends would go hit all the cool shops for clothes and accessories. I even had my tongue pierced at Caribbean Connection in 5 Points when it was still around (had it done on a whim too... and yes, it's still pieced, I just never put a stud in it anymore... although I could if I wanted to hehe). It just seemed like we were there almost every day! I may not visit 5 Points as much as I did back in my younger days, but I still love it. Many of the old shops I use to hang out in are gone now, but newer (and just as cool) shops have entered the old spaces. You'll still find really cool and eclectic shops here with great clothes, shoes, and jewelry. The old smoke shop is gone, but now there's New Leaf Vapor Company cause we're all trying to quite that nasty habit of smoking and switch to vaping. I can't say I'm doing that great of a job at it, but hey, I'm trying! You can take in a movie now at Sun Ray Cinema (which use to be Club 5), and now we have Hawkers (the hippest, coolest, most awesome new restaurant in all of Jax). Parking here most of the time is a real bitch. It can definitely be hard to find a place. But be patient and you will. Also, this is a place for walking around and taking it all in. Walking from shop to shop. So it's really no big deal if you have to park a couple of blocks away.

Five Points once a drive around area is now a drive thru, walk thru, celebrate in place to go. It has character and charm. It has several top places to eat and adorable vintage shops. Plan to eat and have coctails among the many places of choice. For dessert Stop for some macaroons at Sweet Motions and then hit a movie at SunRay. Everything you need to have a great night out can be found in five points!

In A Nutshell: -Last time I scoped out a "Five Points" was in Atlanta, GA a couple years back. -During my trip in Jacksonville, my gracious aunt drove my wife & I to downtown. -We ended up parking, then we ate & shopped in Five Points, Jacksonville. -This version was semi-hipster or I should say "up & coming hipster" vs. true hipster ATL Five Points. -It has a lot of potential, some cute shops & restaurants. Overall, just walking into the Starbucks I immediately saw the vibe, which this area has alot of room to grow into.

Can you say top 3 best walls in 5 Points?! #Birdies

For me, the Five Points corner of the Riverside is tiny, cute, and (I hate to admit) often overlooked ... unfortunately! Five Points has this vintage character and a hodgepodge of flavors that I love along with its eclectic restaurants, shops, and wall art. Historic Five Points is definitely a photographer or instagramer's dream in one small bundle! You should just park, and spend the day taking it all it!

Come here, friends, to hang with the hipsters, artists, scenesters, bums, musicians, philosophers, bums, and hipsters! [Yes, I know I said hipsters and bums twice. There is a massive INFLUX of each.] I love 5 Points. This area of town is located inside the edgy, artistic historical neighborhood of Riverside, just off of Downtown. It is full of great, eclectic boutiques, antique stores, unique restaurants, a wide range of bars,an independent movie theater, independent grocery store [and massive chain next door], beautiful parks on either side, salons, cafe's... it has just about anything you could ever need and I wouldn't be surprised if some of its residents never leave the area. I, myself, live in the San Marco neighborhood, a five minute jaunt across the river, and I TRY never to leave the Riverside-Downtown-San Marco trifecta. Only occasionally do my efforts fail. The first Friday of every month is 5 Points' monthly First Friday Art Walk. It is a great time to check out some [fantastic] local art, hit up some of the neighborhood bars, and have a fun night out. My favorite spots are: Anomaly [Boutique] & Underbelly [Bar behind] Violet [Boutique] Wolfgang [Boutique] Clothing Warehouse [Vintage] Fans & Stoves [Antiques] Midnight Sun [Hippie/Spiritual/Bohemian] Birdies [Bar] Wall St. [Hole In The Wall - Bar] Hair Peace [Salon] O' Brothers [Pub] But beyond these places there is a ton to do. Lots of different kinds of restaurants from Pizza to Thai to Sushi. A great movie theater. An awesome DIVE DIVE DIVE bar.... I mean, the smoke will emanate out of your pores after two seconds in there. And the culture, the vibe, the people are just eclectic and artsy and INTERESTING. This is where the scene is. Where people go to be funky and free and fun.

Shopping and picking up my favorite!

See all

Roosevelt Square is an older shopping plaza with a lot of dining options, as well as a Publix and…read moreseveral other businesses. This mall has been open since 1961 when it opened as an open-air center. In 1968, Roosevelt Square was enclosed to compete with other shopping malls like Regency Square Mall and Gateway. In the late 1990's, parts of the shopping plaza was demolished and remodeled and retrofitted for a new stage of this plaza's existence. All in all, Roosevelt Square is a satisfactory place to head for if you have plans to stop at one of the businesses. While nothing spectacular, it is also not overly terrible. I feel it definitely warrants a middle-of-the-road three stars.

Why did they tear up a perfectly good parking lot and put in these awful pavers?? The construction…read morehas been unbearable and they clearly went with the lowest bidder. The pavers they put in are uneven and impossible to navigate. It's like off-roading. Less than a month old and they already have huge potholes. They also took out landscaping and put in palm trees that offer no shade. And don't get me started on navigating! There are medians that are too low to see but right in the middle of the driveways. It's impossible to dodge other cars and the parking lot gets so backed up, especially for Chipotle and Chick-fil-a. This place is so poorly planned now the developer should be banned from ever developing again. Such a shame too because the businesses here are pretty good (although loosing Stein Mart was a big bummer.) This place used to be great but has gone downhill since they tried to fancify it.

Marshall's is a great place for deals. They have clothes for the family, home goods, food items &…read morecoffee even Starbucks. Also it's a great place for designer bags, luggage's and active wear. They carry lots of brand name items that are always at discounted prices. If you don't mind overstock from other major department stores & like good deals, this is the store for you. If you don't have the patience to browse then this store may send you on a tailspin & you may leave the store unfulfilled. First Marshall's I've been to was when I lived in Long Island, New York over 30 yrs ago. They must be doing something right for being around for many decades, established in the 1950s. It's owned by TJX Companies which also owns TJ MAXX. Another favorite of mine. Their slogans are Your Surprise Is Waiting and Never boring, Always Surprising. So true, so I come visit at least once a month in search for deals. I like this store because it's not so big that I can come by during my lunch break and see a lots of stuff. Extra perk is their credit card you get a $10 coupon for every $200 you spend. Hmm....wonder what surprise awaits on my next visit.

There are panhandlers that are constantly outside. Sometimes they'll hold the door open which makes…read morefor a sort of awkward exchange. This department store has a decent amount of clothing. Granted I've only browsed the men's section. I've popped in a couple times every two weeks and the selection seems to alternate. Employees have been helpful the couple of times I've been here.
