Since 1999, Chuck and Karen Ponce along with Sandy Craig have operated the Old Florida Museum (originally known as Historic Villages of St. Augustine) at 254 San Marco Avenue in the location owned by TE-B-CO of St. Augustine; the Tebault family company that previously operated St. Augustine Trains.

Their attraction invited guests to explore Florida’s pre-European past when Timucuan Indians inhabited the region and to get a feeling for what it was actually like to live and work in those times.

Two months ago, several local restaurant owners decided to do something to level the playing field with the onslaught of larger, chain restaurants who promote themselves in St. Augustine.

According to records filed with the Florida Division of Corporations, Ted McLemore of Zhanra’s and South Beach Grill joined Lorna McDonald owner of the Raintree Restaurant, Pat Morrissey owner of Gypsy Cab Co, Chris Way owner of Barnacle Bills as well as Michael McMillan owner of Opus 39 and the Tasting Room, to form The St. Augustine Independent Restaurant Association, Inc.

According to an announcement from Senior Vice President Suzanne Brown received by Historic City Media this morning, Florida Capital Bank will be closing its location at 1700 US 1 South on Friday, July 18th.

This announcement surprised some customers since the bank location was only established in 2005 on the site of the former Long John Silvers restaurant.
