For St Augustine’s downtown restaurants and retail merchants, deliveries are a nearly daily occurrence that are essential to the continued operation of their business.

In a press release from Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., Historic City News has learned that the St Augustine plant is scheduled to receive orders to complete roughly 10% of a nearly $60 million contract modification for work on the advanced Hawkeye military aircraft.

The popular Jacksonville eatery, known for its signature fried chicken and waffles, opened its St. Augustine store Monday and the 3,500-square-foot space has been packed ever since, according to employees at work Wednesday.
Historic City News has learned that, before it is even built, the dream of a public aquarium by owners Shawn and Kathy Hiester of Ponte Vedra Beach is reportedly facing competition from deep pockets in Downtown Jacksonville, near the Northbank site of the proposed Shipyards redevelopment.
