Another Victory for St. Augustine Residents

Citizens' and officials' telephone calls and letters to 7-Eleven and the Japanese Embassy worked: an eighteen-pump gasoline station and 24 hour convenience story planned for the corner of May Street and San Marco Avenue is dead.
So are several of the trees, which were cut pursuant to a promised development that now will hopefully not happen.
No archaeological investigation fee has been paid.  The projuect is moribund. The land speculator's telephone is disconnected. 
Once again, it appears that local residents have defeated devious "developers" and their legal hitman, controversial St. Augustine lawyer George McClure.
Yes, we can!
