Dear Editor:
Our city commissioners, tourist board and administrators seem to be focused on how to bring ever more tourist dollars to downtown businesses at the expense of the city residents.
As part of our 15-year anniversary celebration, we are formalizing new statements of our mission and vision for the future.
These few words guide us in our actions today and provide context for where we want to be tomorrow.
Letter: Support the people who elected you
James S Arpaia
St Augustine, FL
Dear Editor:
Republicans have just experienced a perfect example of electing politicians to represent us, the people; however, when those officials assume their elected positions, they “Pledge” to represent the “Leadership” of their party, not the people who elected them.

Dear Editor:
I live at Vilano Beach and continuously have to deal with the traffic getting into St. Augustine, mainly because the intersection at May Street and San Marco Avenue is so poorly designed.

Dear Historic City News supporters:
Please write or call the St Augustine City Commissioners this week and let them know your objections to the proposed 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station at the corner of San Marco Avenue and May Street.
Special to Historic City News
New Year’s is always a time to reflect—and look forward. I’ve never been a fan of New Year’s resolutions that are overly ambitious. They seem destined to fall away in a few weeks, like when an irresistible piece of chocolate cake makes its way into your kitchen, for example.
Letter: Why have Lights if you don’t want visitors
Kelly Jo Boyce
Sanford, FL
Dear Editor:
My family and I traveled 1-1/2 hours to your beautiful city this past weekend to see the Nights of Lights and celebrate in the festivities. We love to visit St Augustine and this was our first time visiting during Christmas.
