An organization that has become a flashpoint for controversy in St. Augustine, the now defunct First America Foundation, Inc., who Historic City News reported brought an “olive branch” in the form of a $150,000 payment through their Chairwoman Christine Chapman, has stalled in their promise to turn over records and the remaining cash on hand.

Things to do this weekend in the historic city

St. Augustine Visitors and Convention Bureau Communications Director Jay Humphreys informed Historic City News that St. Johns County residents who purchase full-price admission to the St. Augustine Lighthouse ($9.50 adults; $7.50 seniors and children 12 and under; free for children under 44 inches in height) can now receive a pass good for free admission for an entire year. The Lighthouse is now open until 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights through mid-August.
