Putnam County commissioners are weighing whether to form a committee to help examine county finances and recommend budget cuts now that Florida voters have approved a constitutional amendment that will shrink local property tax collections starting in 2027.

These 9 Florida Restaurants Are Keeping Nearly Forgotten Southern Recipes Alive

One Florida dining room serves venison and quail between shelves of books and old taxidermy. Another smokes mullet over red oak wood, the way it has for more than 70 years. I love that these dishes still exist at all. Frog legs, swamp cabbage, tomato gravy, and pea pickin’ cake used to be everyday food for Cracker families. Now most menus skip them completely.

Flagler County’s Old Brick Road Outlasted Its Highway

A modern highway asks you to forget the surface underneath. Flagler County has a road that does the opposite: it makes the pavement the destination. The Old Brick Road, associated with the historic Dixie Highway near Espanola, is narrow, red and deeply out of scale with today’s habit of building several lanes for every movement. The Flagler County Historical Society documents it as part of Florida’s earlier effort to make travel by automobile dependable rather than an argument with sand and mud.

The Flagler County Commission is discussing the creation of a special taxing district to pay for policing countywide and prevent a cratering of revenue for law enforcement and the county jail.
