Here's a look at new businesses, closings, and renovations this month in the Jacksonville - Neptune - Atlantic Beaches area.

The gourmet burger joint is now open next to Ragtime in the Beaches Town Center. They serve unique and reasonably priced burgers, a variety of fries, and good ol' milkshakes.

The retail section.
The bar and seating area. There's an outdoor patio as well.
Caribee Key
The 'Tropical Bar & Grille' closed down due to financial issues about two weeks ago. There is no word on what, if anything will go into the vacant space next, but surely something, because of the desirable location in the Beaches Town Center.
Square One Skate Shop
A longtime locals favorite is now closed on S. 3rd St. and 11th Ave. The skatewear retail shop suffered financial losses.
