I grew up in neighboring Green Cove Springs, Florida which is 45 minutes inland. I moved out to St Augustine in 2005 and had the best time of my life in that amazing city. I'm in Kansas City now, in my mid 30's and life slowed down tremendously. I think of St Auggie all of the time. And someday I'll return there. This truly is the safest city I've ever experienced in my life. I have lived all across Europe and many other cities throughout the journey of my life. And nothing compares to the experiences and friendships I held there. I miss it so much!

@richardmossy5540 2 жыл бұрын

I didn't appreciate it when I had it though... I didn't realize how lucky I was to be from there. I was always dreaming of bigger & better cities and countries. To anyone out there, from St Aug, and the 904 in general, please appreciate what you have. Because you have no idea how raw it is in other areas.

Franklin Smith built the hotel after purchasing the land from Flagler. Franklin Smith ordered furniture that never showed up in time for grand opening. Only 3 rooms were furnished and Smith asked for financial help from Flagler within months. Flagler bought the hotel and the furnishings that showed up on his railroad, after he purchased it…for $325,000. Flagler changed the name to the Cordova and he had 3 hotels doing great!
