OT Advise on St. Augustine.

I enjoyed the bbq at MOJO City.

We did the trolly. It was great not having to find parking or worry about traffic. If you don't mind waiting for a few waiting for the next trolly it is so worth it. Plus the tour guide give info on all historic stuff you pass

The Columbia Restaurant and the Gonzmart family are big USF supporters...give 'em some business when visiting St. Augustine.

They have a Columbia restaurant in Old Town.

 

Why eat in a Tampa restaurant when out of town?

I live in Atlanta, and finding a Columbia there was like finding a piece of home away from home.

I would definitely take the trolly. It hits most tourist stops and the driver provides interesting commentary throughout the ride.

 

I would check out both forts, the lightner museum, The pirate museum, and Flagler college.

Yeah, we took the trolley, gives a history lesson with some interesting stories.

BTW if you want to patronize Richard's places....go to Alele, Richard's new venture in Tampa!

Better yet, wait until he launches the rebirth of Goody Goodys ...

Was just in St. Augustine last weekend. Did the old jail, ripley's, the fort, pirate museum, fountain of youth. Ghost tours are supposed to be pretty good too.

My fiancée and I are going to the Fins game in Jacksonville on Sunday and figured we would check out St. Augustine on Saturday. We plan on seeing the fort, old jail, old store, and Fountain of youth. Is there any thing else we must see? Also is it worth it do pay for the Trolley or is everything pretty close and in walking distance?

It's a little tricky to find, but I'd recommend you check out the "Salt Water Cowboys" restaurant for the unique setting and decent food. I'd call it the Whiskey Joe's (Tampa) of St. Augustine.

Another thing to consider is visiting the St. Augustine Ampitheatre.  Lots of good acts go through there and you may find something you like during your visit.  We were able to catch Boston.
