Folk Heritage Award presented to former shrimp boat captain

In 81 years, St. Augustine resident James Edwin “Ed” Long told local Historic City News reporters that he has witnessed a lot of change in his hometown. From 1951 until the 1990’s, Long worked in the shrimping and shrimp boat building industry. Today, he is a keeper of that industry’s history and has worked long and hard to make sure it has received proper attention for its financial, global, and community contributions.

Endorsement: St Johns County Commission District 3

As the editor of Historic City News, I think this race should be all about Sheamus John McNeeley. He is the candidate who nobody knows, he does not speak at forums, his campaign has raised no money, his name appears on no campaign signs, and his name will appear on no Primary or General Election ballots.
