Florida’s grandest old campus used to be a hotel for America’s richest families

Flagler College sits in the middle of old St. Augustine, and the main building looks like it belongs in another century. That’s because it does. The place opened in 1888 as the Hotel Ponce de Leon, a grand winter resort for wealthy Northerners, and it became a college in 1968.

Rocking Chair Records becomes a music hot spot in St. Augustine

With vinyl record sales surpassing $1 billion the U.S. in 2025, David Smart, the owner and proprietor of Rocking Chair Records , is settling in quite comfortably on 74 Masters Drive. Rocking Chair Records, which opened in May 2025, has become a hot spot for music lovers, collectors and newcomers enticed by the idea of collecting vinyl. Undaunted by a generation raised on streaming music, Smart told the St. Augustine Record that the appeal for playing “physical” music is not just getting stronger, it’s growing in leaps and bounds. “People are rediscovering what gets lost when music becomes just another app on your phone,” he said. "A record spins on the table. It forces you to listen to the whole thing. It really does make you sit with it a little bit more and appreciate the artist." Smart underscored how records reach beyond music, pointing to the “artwork, the liner notes and overall experience” of owning a tangible item that produces sound. "Holding a record, smelling the paper, seeing the ink colors on the paper, pulling the record out of the sleeve and reading the labels and the lyrics are experiences that you can't re-create with your phone," he said.

The Hidden History Behind Downtown Jacksonville's Street Names

Every day, thousands of people travel along downtown Jacksonville’s streets without giving much thought to the origins of their names. Yet, hidden in plain sight, these familiar thoroughfares tell stories of the city’s founding, its early settlers, political ambitions, and transformation from a small frontier settlement into a major Florida city. Some streets honor American presidents and political figures who helped shape Florida’s transition from Spanish to American control. Others commemorate Jacksonville’s earliest residents, including members of the Hart family, whose influence remains visible on the city’s street grid two centuries later. Other streets received their names from natural landmarks, neighborhood institutions, or the everyday activities of early Jaxsons. Together, these names provide a window into the people, places, and events that shaped the city during its formative years.
