Where are some good places to watch the USA game tomorrow night that are on Anastasia island? Something that will have a good lively atmosphere not just a spot that has TVs.
Hey everyone, I’ll be visiting for the rest of the month and was looking for some fun affordable things to do, the cheaper the better! Free museum days? Parks to visit? Hikes? Trivia nights? I’m 21+ so fun brewery things, etc. I need all the reccs. Thanks in advance

What is it like living in St. Augustine? I see some gorgeous communities and it looks like a dream to raise a family in. Nature, beaches and warm weather are important to me. We live in NY currently. We have great summers but they're over too fast and the winter feels brutal.
NY is all I've known, I am left leaning with political views. Moving to a red state might be an adjustment but I can also tune out politics as long as people are respectful.
Tell me all the pros and cons!
The Clay County Young Democrats are hosting an evening with Dayna Foster, and everyone is welcome to attend. Whether you’re already involved in local politics or just want to hear directly from a candidate about her vision for Florida, this is a great opportunity to ask questions and be part of the conversation.
We’ll also be recording an episode of the Clay County Speaks podcast after the meeting.
Come meet your neighbors, hear from the candidate, and get involved in what’s happening right here in Clay County.
📅 Date: July 9
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM
📍 Location: Clay County Democratic headquarters
Hope to see you there!
Murray Bros Caddyshack restaurant at World Golf Village has closed after 25 years. The last day was Saturday.
When it opened in 2001, World Golf Village had a World Golf Hall of Fame, IMAX Theater, PGA Tour store, miniature golf course and Sam Snead Tavern steakhouse. Caddyshack was the last of them to exit.
The decision to build WGV at the end of a long looping drive instead of a close highway exit made it difficult for anything to last there. A reporter said that even in the early days the businesses privately called it the "Donut of Doom."
I thought there was usually a pop up standard hobby lobby parking but I haven’t noticed it this year. I saw some in Palatka but didn’t pick any up while I was out there. Are we just going to phantom north of town? I saw there’s a store on 16 too, is there anything closer to town?
Amici Restaurant on Anastasia Island at 312 and A1A has closed. A sign on the door reads, "After six unforgettable years, Amici has permanently closed. Thank you for being part of our story."
The restaurant was there when I moved here in the 1990s. It was owned by siblings Vito Arena and Benedetta Dubetz, then later bought by Freddy and Jennifer Underhill. They put it up for sale in 2025 with an asking price of $3.5 million.
The Underhills took over on March 11, 2020, right before Covid-19 shutdowns began. The owners announced the closing on Facebook:

A review on Yelp said their last day was Sunday and had two photos of their cannolis, which were legit.
What’s everyone’s favorite sandwich place here? I’m talking perfect beach sandwich
Thanks for your time guys! My family will be visiting in the next week or so and I was wondering if you guys could list some mixed media thrift stores (novels, comics, cds, & dvds)? I know st Augustine has a lot of tourism so we’d be willing to go at least an hour out for something good.
Hi! We are so excited for our trip to St. Augustine in a few weeks! Are there any all you can eat crab leg establishments in the area? I know these types of places are becoming rare, but I promised my husband I would find out. Thanks!
Hi! I’m trying to help a friend plan a proposal. We’re looking for a semi private beach spot (basically, just something without a ton of kids running around near sunset time) with a restaurant nearby. The plan is to go to the restaurant and go on a walk on the beach to “kill time while they wait for a table”.
Any recommendations? Open to other suggestions too, just trying to keep it as casual as possible so she doesn’t suspect anything!
Just ended my lease at my apartment complex that had a pool. Curious if there are any cheap or free places that allow people to go swimming in this sweltering heat?
Hey my last post on here was moderated. Just a quick little bit of info she is running for governor so she would be on st John’s county’s ballot too
We are here on vaca, and my daughter forgot to pack her period swimwear. Does anyone know a store that stocks this? I’ve checked Target and Walmart. Hoping not to spend too much time visiting a million shops as our time here is limited.
Just kidding, but when you go to CVS there's a long line of parked cars on the alley next to the drugstore and more along Old Beach Road. The new location has a lot more customers than its parking lot can fit.
I've eaten almost everywhere in town but this restaurant. How is it?
My birthday is next Sunday and I'll be in town.
- I'm feeling homesick for the PNW. Are there any beaches nearby that are good for tidepooling? I'm willing to do a bit of a drive for this.
- Best fish and chips in town? I've considered Meehan's Irish pub, but idk how authentic it is.
- Any shops that sell oddities? Bones, bugs, taxidermy etc.
What would you do here on your birthday? Thank you!
