We’re dishing the 9OH-411 with Jacksonville’s unofficial internet mayor Josh Rogers!
Jacksonville has something big on the way. The Block Jax, an upcoming outdoor food hall just north of Ikea off Gate Parkway, is set to become a new go-to hangout spot. The space will feature eight local food vendors, three bars, and an on-site brewery — with free entry for everyone. Even better? Live music during lunch and in the evenings, a fully fenced kids’ park, a private dog park, and a massive 30-foot LED wall showing Jags games and other major sporting events. It’s more than just a food hall — it’s designed to be a true community gathering space.
What makes The Block Jax even more exciting is its focus on local flavor, with vendors like Bearded Piglet Barbecue, Chancho King, and Dark Side Tacos. It’s the kind of place you’ll bring friends from out of town. And the momentum doesn’t stop there — Jacksonville was recently ranked the #4 most buyer-friendly housing market in the country by Zillow, thanks to its relative affordability and strong value. Between new developments and a booming real estate market, it’s clear Jacksonville isn’t just growing — it’s thriving.
