When I would come home for holiday to Jacksonville to see my family, my mom and I would occasionally spend our “mother-daughter” outings visiting a cute historic neighborhood or going to the beaches to have lunch and shop around. Traditionally, Jacksonville has always had a strong presence of local women’s boutiques, and they continue to thrive today.
