St. Augustine is blessed that when DONALD JOHN TRUMP changed his domicile, it was to South Florida.
St. Augustine has a long tradition of New Yorkers moving here and improving the gene pool, if not the level of courtliness and manners.
Ever since oil oligopolist HENRY MORRISON FLAGLER moved here to start conquering Florida as a railroader and developer, the pace of life has quickened.
Skilled workers in construction and hospitality moved here, building and staffing his hotels.
Locals would not have had the skills at the time.
As the 2020 election approaches, we welcome more New Yorkers, impatient with local political corruption here in God's country.
But just mind your manners.
You're in the South now, sweethearts, and we don't cotton to rudeness.
What do y'all reckon?
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!
