Florida Zoological Gardens & Exposition opened at 1st and Laura in 1893 (zoo moved to current Heckscher location in 1920s), so in honor of the zoo’s original home:

Henry Klutho was perhaps Jacksonville’s most famous architect in the early 1900s. His building designs include City Hall, the Dyal-Upchurch building, the Bisbee Building (Jax’s first skyscraper, now part of the Laura St. Trio), and Engine 15, plus dozens of other well known landmarks.

-
L – 100 Lt. Dans (lunge-lunge-squat)

U – 150 Up Straddle Hop (SSH with one leg)

T – 200 Thigh Master (pulsing lunge) (we made it to here)

Sweaty Moleskin – Two takeaways:
-
Don’t put your hope in a career or money – Henry Klutho had recognition, accolades and money, and yet he died alone and broke. He had to split his house, which is next door to our temporary AO, into a duplex and rent out the first floor to make ends meet. Money, career, and fame are unstable foundations to build your life on. Invest in what will last beyond this life.

Study history, especially local history. “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” -Marcus Garvey (Jamaican political leader, early 1900s)
