Guest Column: The importance of mobility in St Augustine
Nancy E. Shaver, Mayor
City of St Augustine, FL
Dear Historic City News readers:
It’s no secret that we are a popular place and getting around in our City is often a challenge. Whether it’s the couple of million vacation visitors we have every year, or you and I going grocery shopping, or the many folks from St. Johns County and Jacksonville who come here for the day or the evening or for one of our many events–it’s a lot of people in cars—likely six million annually—and growing.

The City Commission of the City of St. Augustine is accepting applications to fill two alternate positions on the Historic Architectural Review Board.
The Florida Sheriffs Association reported to Historic City News this morning that a recent two-week spring campaign, titled “Operation Predator”, has concluded in verification of the addresses of sexual predators and offenders in Florida as well as the arrest of many who had moved without properly informing authorities.
Historic City News was informed of two events this week at the real not-for-profit organization committed to enriching our lives through arts and culture, the St Augustine Art Association, going on Tuesday through Saturday, March 26th.
