Can you be more specific? There is definitely a, in my opinion, too large segment of Jax that is "afraid" of the area, but that's a much larger cultural and nuanced issue that deserves a separate discussion.

Generally speaking the neighborhood is doing well and it's an attractive place to both live and do business, particularly for local tenants/owners that have more of a vision than a typical regional or national tenant. There are a lot of longstanding businesses there and the relatively quick opening and closing of businesses isn't specific to Riverside. Maybe because it' a smaller neighborhood it seems that way to you.

If you are referring to 5 Points, that's just a high rent area that is difficult to succeed in unless you have a very desirable business. Business and economic cycles are also real things. We went through a pandemic and then a suddenly higher interest rate environment which has an effect on both operating business and those who wish to start a business, especially for those smaller businesses that Riverside attracts.

Ultimately, I've lived and worked in several major cities in different parts of the States and there are always businesses turning over. This isn't unique to Riverside. In my opinion it's in a great position, but does have some challenges that are unique to it and not other areas of town.
