I've been to the Old Jail in St Augustine in the 70s lol.
I’ve never been to the Old Jail even though I have spent a lot of time in St Augustine.
Desantis quits. Endorses Trump

I went to the Spanish Fortress and the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum as well. I remember the seafood was good there.

I still have one token from the arcade inside of Ripley's. I found it this summer in a bunch of old shit I have at the Canuckistan cache site.

I remember when they used to do paintball out there.
The first game took the producer a week to pressure wash and clean up the place. After that they hired the local fire dept and the paint manufacturers produced "blanding gray" which matched the buildings and didn't stain. It was tightly controlled until it wasn't, and a shady producer got in, ran out of paint late in the event, and brought in tournament grade paint that stained the buildings and didn't clean it up, which got paintball banned from there forever.

Took the kids to St. Augustine a few years ago, stayed on St. George street right across from the Castillo de San Marcos. Really nice place minus the hobos.

I was a “Drill Sargent” at the Florida Youth Challenge Academy (boot camp for bad teens) out there for awhile. It’s a great base for camping etc. It’s too bad the paintball is gone.

Looks like they have a lot of cool military hardware on display there...

They do. They need to take care of it better though. It’s all looking pretty bad. The C-47 has torn fabric on its rudder.
-
They could use some hangers there - then they can make a nice little museum.

Just keep driving until you hit the Titusville museum run by Valiant Air Command. That place has some real works of art in it, and it's not too far from Fantasy of Flight.

If you ever met him, Staff Sgt Hall is who coordinated the paintball games there. Good guy.

I never left out compound except to go home at the end of shift, or chase down a kid or two that jumped the fence.

St-Augustine (80% Caulk)
vs
Jacksonville (40% Caulk)
Draw your own conclusions. I am but a mere messenger.
If I was to retire to that part of FL, let's just say I think I can solve that equation.

I live in the county just south of Jax. They are building a toll road from I-10 west of Jax to St Augustine which cuts through my county. The part from I-10 to SR-21 (the main road) is complete. We have already seen an increase in crime as the toll road has become a quick ingress, egress route from the worst parts of the Westside into Middleburg.
