The Way We Were Wednesday America's Oldest City

St. Augustine Florida claims the title of America's Oldest City.  The old town section is quaint, dating to colonial times.  It is a nicely preserved tourist trap.  

The image above was taken in the 1970's.  A typical street scene in the historic district.  

Have you been there?

  3. Nah. I've been to Florida twice- leaving on a cruise to the Caribbean and coming back from said cruise. We visited the place where they filmed Gator Boys, I touched a baby gator. We also rode in one of those boats that look like giant electric fans. We experienced no culture while awaiting our plane. We did experience smothering humidity. I did not enjoy the trip enough to ever visit Florida again. I'm really trying to make short comments, but my fingers have a mind of their own.
