A pouco mais de 80 quilômetros do Rio, a pequena Sacra Família do Tinguá, no município de Engenheiro Paulo de Frontin, vive-se um clima de autêntica descontração, resultante das peripécias e traquinagens dos hóspedes do local; crianças alegres e felizes se divertindo a valer. A razão de tanto barulho se chama Kinderland (terra de criança em alemão), a mais tradicional colônia de férias fluminense.
A instituição iniciou suas atividades em 1952, com o trabalho de um grupo de senhoras judias que acolhia órfãos de guerra, entretanto, o lugar não se caracteriza como instituição religiosa. A palavra de ordem é confraternização, valorizar ao máximo a convivência em grupo. Os acampamentos livram as crianças do controle familiar e abrem um mundo novo para elas. O primeiro grito de independência. Longe dos olhares paternos, as crianças convivem com pessoas diferentes, tomam decisões sozinhas, aprendem a ser disciplinadas e crescem em todos os sentidos. São 750 mil metros quadrados de área verde cercado de montanhas e belas paisagens comportando grupos de até 170 pessoas. A colônia oferece acomodações para dormir, refeitório, piscina, quadra de esporte, lago, gincanas, festas dançantes e peças de teatro. Durante o dia, o passeio ecológico é um dos momentos mais esperados. Acompanhados por um biólogo, a garotada sai à procura de animais de diferentes espécies pela mata. São três refeições e mais três lanches por dia para repor a energia, Passaram por lá crianças famosas como David Zylbersztajn, genro do ex presidente Fernando Henrique, os integrantes do Casseta & Planeta, Cláudio Manoel, Marcelo Madureira e o saudoso Cláudio Bessermann, o Bussunda, o músico Jacques Morelenbaum, a atriz Débora Bloch, a coreógrafa Debora Colker e o carioca Carlos Minc, Ministro do Meio Ambiente do governo Lula Quando bate a saudade, alguns retornam para rever os amigos feitos naqueles gramados e lembrar as brincadeiras na piscina, o hasteamento da bandeira, o soar do gongo e das Kinderlíadas (olimpíadas da Kinderland). Um lugar guardado nas boas lembranças |

Located across from City Hall in the heart of downtown Jacksonville. First established as a public square by the City’s founder Isaiah D. Hart around 1857, it is Jacksonville’s oldest park. Known first as City Park and then St. James Park, it was renamed Hemming Park in 1899 to honor Civil War veteran Charles C. Hemming, who donated the park’s Confederate monument (the City’s oldest and tallest) the previous year. At various times the park contained bandstands, fountains, comfort stations, and Tourist and Convention Bureau buildings, along with many beautiful trees. In 1978, the City converted the park into a brick-paved plaza, and completed additional work in 1986 that transformed the area into a single-level, pedestrian-oriented mall. Due to its centralized location, the plaza has long been a part of the downtown experiences for both tourists and local citizens.

O Teatro Municipal João Caetano foi reinaugurado em 1995, após uma profunda restauração. O projeto de recuperação encarou um grande desafio que era respeitar os aspectos históricos e ao mesmo tempo dotá-lo de modernidade. Ao longo de sua história, o teatro sofreu sucessivas obras de reformas que foram alterando a forma original do prédio, adaptando espaços e desfigurando seus seus núcleos históricos, dando origem a um prédio com características de diferentes épocas. No entanto, a fachada manteve as linhas arquitetônicas neoclássicas da reforma de 1888 e 1889.
