Over 380 years after it slipped beneath the surface of the waters in the stormy Straits of Florida, a sword from the famed Spanish gallon, Nuestra Señora de Atocha, has a new home in the St. Augustine & St. Johns County Visitor Information Center. The story of the sword’s arrival and preservation starts a decade ago.

This photo is the “Scene of The Crime” according to a story that appeared on a local blog of downtown artists; where they say this narrative is typical of the treatment that street artists in St. Augustine receive from the local police.

This is a true story.

The victim is an 88 year old woman who is selling her home in Elkton.

The Realtor is a 52 year old businessman.

The witness is a 69 year old potential buyer.

According to Smokin’ Daryl, it takes 6 – 15 hours to make authentic, fresh smoked BBQ. “That means you either get up real early to start your smokin’ or you serve yesterday’s meat”.
