The action centers on the Shoppes of Avondale, a genteel stretch of St. Johns Avenue lined with independent boutiques, bistros, and salons. It's the part of town locals dress up for, for a long dinner and a slow browse. On Jax Locals you'll find the independent, locally-owned businesses that give Avondale its character — no chains, just the real thing.
