The Board of Legal Specialization and Education announced to Historic City News that only 221 of Florida’s 93,000 lawyers have maintained “board certified” status in civil trial or tax law continuously for 30 years — and one of those distinguished attorneys practices in St Augustine; Richard Gary Rumrell.

Matchbox Twenty played to a sold out Amphitheatre in St Augustine last night; and, local Historic City News photographer, Mark Cubbedge, was part of the crowd of fans there to experience the American rock band’s indelible melodies, crafty lyricism, and glorious hooks that have defined their multi-platinum body of work.
St Johns County reported to Historic City News that the North Beach Walkover located on A1A south of 23rd street, at the North Beach Park, will be closed for replacement beginning Monday, March 18.

Charges are pending, according to the traffic homicide report forwarded to Historic City News last night, after a two-car collision left two men injured, one critically, and a female passenger who died at the scene.
Over the past two weeks, undercover deputies and a teenaged operative conducted two underage tobacco enforcement details around the county; and, now that operation “Dry Spring” has concluded, the results have been reported to Historic City News.
