Dear Editor:
I am hoping that Historic City News readers will consider sending an email of support to the City of St Augustine. We have accomplished a great deal but face new challenges as we prepare for Velo Fest Festival 2015.

Dear Editor:
I have been a resident of Ponte Vedra Beach since 1988, so I was looking forward to this morning’s county commission candidate forum for candidates in District 2, sponsored by the Ponte Vedra Beaches Coalition.

Dear Editor:
I am providing a copy of an open letter to Reverend Ron Rawls, Pastor at St Paul AME Church in St Augustine, concerning recently announced plans to demolish ECHO House.
If there was ever a doubt about the potentially life-saving role of St Augustine’s fire department and local law enforcement, Historic City News editor, Michael Gold, reports that this morning’s four arson cases downtown, all within a narrow time frame, should put those concerns to rest.
The week of June 22 – June 28, 2014 has been declared the eighteenth annual “National Mosquito Control Awareness Week” according to an announcement received by Historic City News this weekend from the American Mosquito Control Association.
Relegated to the very last item on the published agenda for the Monday night meeting of the City of St Augustine, is a $59,500 request presented by Roxanne Horvath to pay the balance now due on her $74,500 “visioning project”. I suppose they figured everyone would be worn out, bored to tears, and lulled to sleep by the monotone drivel that passes for city business before this commission.
