Dear Historic City News editor:
The parking provided by the San Marco Hotel PUD is totally insufficient. I know that with each change in the design of this project the applicant has increased the number of parking spaces provided. That is good, but it still does not come close to what it should be.
This Saturday, neighbors in St Augustine will declare their independence from bad government, sloppy staff work, and commissioners who favor developers over city residents.

I was sitting behind the desk in the front of our store on Aviles Street when the lights started flickering and finally went out with a very loud explosion.

Dear Historic City News editor:
The Putnam County sheriff’s detectives in charge of investigating my stepson’s homicide decided, for whatever reason, not to complete their investigation and crafted a false report to close the case in November 2015.
When Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Walt Bogdanich, from the New York Times, returned to St Augustine in April, he contacted Historic City News editor Michael Gold as part of his ongoing reporting on the mishandling of the September 2, 2010 homicide investigation of 24-year-old Michelle O’Connell by St Johns County Sheriff David B. Shoar.
