check out http://www.getaway4nature.com/It's a website devoted to environmental tourism in St. Johns County, St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra. It's advertised in national publications. On Sunday, it was advertised in a Florida advertising supplement printed in the Record and hundreds of American newspapers. Hypocrisy? Bad timing?
It's time that we preserve what we're marketing to tourists.
Red House Bluff -- slated by Robert Graubard and our City for condos/strip mall where there's reportedly a 3000-4000 year old Indian village.
The Old City Reservoir -- our City dumped 20,000 cubic yards of contaminants, risking the aquifer and groundwater.
Historic charm -- our City is seeing tear-downs and McMansions at an alarming rate.We need more parks -- City and County.
We need a City government more concerned with preserving the environment than with selling our environmental and cultural heritage to developers who proliferate ugliness.
We need to preserve land for parks before they're all sold to the highest bidder developers.

Tell the Chamber of Commerce their members must protect the virtues we sell to tourists.
