Riverside's funky, trendy 5 Points is considered Jacksonville's arts and commerce district. Built in the 1930s as Jacksonville's first shopping area outside of Downtown, it continues to thrive. Perhaps nothing embodies 5 Points more than the eclectic mix of restaurants, bars, boutiques and vintage, antiques, collectibles, odds & ends to be found at 5 Points Vintage or Fans and Stoves.
