Thanks to John Delaney, former Mayor and current UNF president for guesting on the show. Not only do we talk about how UNF will impact downtown development and economics, we also talk a little about leadership in Jacksonville and the 2011 Mayors race.

Looking for the Live Video and Chat?

Tonight’s topic will be the UNF acquisition of MOCA, how it will effect our Museum of Contemporary Art and what role Delaney sees UNF playing in downtown development.

Tune in tonight at 5:30 to watch the live stream. Please leave a question in the comment area if you have one or chat with us live tonight. You can also send questions via Twitter, just use the hashtag #ujw.

In my article Hightide Burrito Company coming to San Marco, Uncommon Grounds closes I said this was a franchise and it received mixed reviews. This is incorrect.

Hightide Burrito Company is owned by UNF graduate Alejandro Juarez. The article UNF grad brings burritos to San Marco community has many more details and an interview with Juarez. Check out their menu online at the Hightide Burrito website.

HighTide Burrito Co. will be a quick-casual restaurant … What will set his restaurant apart from the competition is the importance placed on fresh and authentic Mexican ingredients, he said.

Everything from tortillas to salsa will be made fresh, in-house. Cactus, a common ingredient in Mexican cuisine, will be sautéed with mushrooms as part of the vegetarian option. Mexican beers like Tecate will also be served at the restaurant.

Last night we broadcasted live video of the show online. Here is a link to Urban Jacksonville Weekly Episode 2 in case you missed it. Or watch it below:
