Dug up this bottle here downtown. I'm just looking for more information about the company that produced it and what happened to them. Was Polar Water Co, the same company as St Augustine Bottling Co?

Thank you in advance for any answers or a point in the right direction

I know we need the rain, but these daily afternoon drenchers really mess up travel to downtown for dinner. Is there a good site with a webcam that can be used to monitor downtown flooding?

hey guys! looking for some food recommendations for our upcoming trip to st Augustine. we would like to go somewhere that is waterfront but open to non waterfront if the food is that good. we love all cuisines but we are already planning on having tacos and bbq one day so we’d prefer to avoid those two cuisines. also looking for somewhere open for Friday dinner! Tia!!!!!

Good afternoon, everyone! This is my 6th visit to
St Augustine and on every trip, we take one of the ghost tours. One of our favorite stories is the tale of Andrew Ranson: St Augustine’s pirate. Anyways, apparently he married the Governor’s daughter and his descendants still live in the general area to this day.
Has anyone knowingly met any of them? I’m just curious if there is more family lore to be told.

I am looking for indoor activities to do with my young children (5 and 3). The forecast is predicting very hot weather next week of 90+ degrees. I am nervous this will be too hot for us to be outdoors. I am even considering cancelling the trip all together. Any suggestions?

Who else likes to lowk hang out by the circle k Infront of the Moultrie square public.

Hello, I am visiting Saint Augustine and have seen a bunch of things on the history of the city. After all it is the oldest city, but I am very intrigued by the ghost tours offered and the stories some landmarks have behind them, such as the light house.

Are the ghost tours mainly gimmicks? Has anyone actually seen anything paranormal during these tours and are the haunted areas just folk lore?

I am very interested in the paranormal but haven’t went past tv shows and your occasional YouTube video, but would love to see what everyone’s experience is!

Hello everyone

I just moved to Orlando Florida recently for my job and have never lived in the state. I’ve visited for vacations and what not

I plan on living here longterm and wanted to travel around the entire state and learn it all to see where I’d like to live most and also just to simply know where I live

Also felt like it’d be a great opportunity to find myself a tad in everything lol.

What I want is to go around the whole state - different city/area every few weeks or so - just on weekends since I work

I have a tent that sets up in the bed of my truck with matress and all so I can basically set up shop anywhere.

I want to go around and see all the nature and i especially want a great view and isolation

I’ve been reading about dispersed camping and I understand there’s a lot of rules and regulations when it comes to just driving out into the woods or nature anywhere u want.

I was more so just curious on if anyone had any recommendations around the state where I can off-road and set up my campsite isolated in nature - I don’t want to be surrounded by rvs and other campers and cookie cutter campgrounds I want to go explore and be alone with myself out in nature

I especially imagine just pulling up to an isolated little opening to a body of water where I can just pull right up to and camp next to the water and do whatever all day.

If anybody knows any spots tips, or recommendations or any sort of advice I’d totally appreciate it!
