A free transportation service to and from downtown St. Augustine is being offered to Historic City News readers for the first time over the July 4th weekend.
As the City has become a much more popular tourist destination, the added frequency and combinations of noise sources has placed an overwhelming burden on residents – more and louder live music at bars and restaurants, more trolley loud speakers, more noisy early morning truck deliveries, street sweeping, etc., more canon firings (onshore and off) and more small arms fire, more loud music and amplified speaking events at Francis Field, an un-muffled bi-plane flying overhead, more improperly muffled cars and motorcycles, etc. It’s too much.


Each weekday, Historic City News publishes a summary of calls handled by the St Augustine Police Department. The information contained in this report is taken from sources deemed reliable; the accuracy and completeness of which Historic City News does not control and cannot guarantee.
