In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

Employee Number 1034
Congratulations to City of St. Augustine Employee Number 1034, Her Honor, Nancy Shaver.
Mayor-elect Shaver got her badge, ID card and other accoutrements today and will take the oath of office at 7:30 on December 1.
Three cheers!
Nancy should make that her theme song — she sure kindled the magic in a lot of folks minds. As for the context; given how screwed up this city is it will also take a lot of magic to deliver to those conjured up images.
Personal context for the song for me was also the sixties — in LA cruising around on a 650 Triumph motorcycle. They weren't the good old days Clara, they were the AWESOME old days!
Hard work, honesty, and passion did it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Your Honor!
This is indeed a magical place!
Let's not forget the context Clara.

Context for that song for me is Greenwich Village, ca. 1962-1967. Driving the '62 VW Beetle from central CT.
As for magick. that's another story altogether!
Have a great day!
