I needed to update my address and the account on line would not permit me to do that. I then found that my Social Security benefits were suspended for failing to update my address. Once I arrived at the Port St. Lucie office I found a security guard at the door handing out a number to call to make an appointment. No appointments could be made in person. The telephone number handed out is not the phone number on the website. After three disconnected calls to that number I was advised by the security guard that the phone automatically disconnects with no notice if a SS rep is not available within 17 minutes. I called the number 866-366-1627 one lat time before leaving the vestibule of the So Ila Security Office and was finally connected at 16 minutes out. I have no complaint about the social security representative. The rep resolved my issue and updated my address. Improvement MUST be made in representative availability and communication. So frustrating. Had I not gone on line to check my account I would not have known that my social security benefits had been suspended. The benefits are how I pay for Medicare so I could have also lost my Medicare benefits.

This site is across the parking lot from the Manatee Observation and Education Center in Ft. Pierce. So, after finishing at the Manatee Center we made the mandatory pilgrimage across the parking lot in search of more travel literature. As visitor centers go, this one was clean, bright and staffed by a couple of very pleasant and helpful ladies. It was a bit light in the area of available travel related literature. Still worth the stop.

He was a self trained artist who painted Florida landscapes. He launched the movement of the Highwaymen who were a group of artists around the Fort Pierce area who quickly created Florida folk art featuring landscapes from oil paints on Uppson board used as roof sheeting. From 1950-1980 they would anonymously sell the art out of the trunks of their cars on A1A and US 1 from Daytona to Miami. After Backus became established as an artist he was able to purchase the Platt House built by Dr. Platts in 1896 at 122 Avenue C to use as a new art studio. It was close to his former studio so he would not lose clients from the move. He continued creating art here from 1960 until his death from a heart attack in 1990. Today the original Platts-Backus House has been restored as the headquarters of Main Street Fort Pierce. The street in front of the house was renamed A.E. Backus Avenue in honor of Fort Pierce's famous artist. The house is now used as an art gallery and to host art exhibitions.

My stepdad is normally able to help us move him by providing some strength (he's a big guy), but that night he was fighting a UTI and just didn't have any strength to give. I couldn't move him by myself. I heard that the Fire Department could assist us, and so I called. They were wonderful and sent 2 paramedics right out. The two guys were really great and they make short work of moving him. I thanked them for this amazing service and they were so gracious and friendly. Wouldn't even take a tip. I would not use such a service on any regular basis because I know these folks have much more important work to do, but in that moment where I was truly out of options, it was a lifesaver. We are so lucky to have such a great fire department!

The P. P. Cobb building was built in the 1880's in downtown Ft. Pierce.. The first owners were the…read moreHogg family, who originally established it as the Can Town Trading Post. Annie Hogg, who was from Scottish royalty, managed the family business while her husband, Captain Hogg, sailed along the coast of Florida and to the West Indies, trading goods along the way. The Hogg family's trading post provided essential goods for pioneers while fostering connections. Eventually they decided to sell the trading post to an oyster cannery company. Peter Cobb was an employee of the oyster cannery and when they wanted to sell the building he purchased it. He turned the trading post into a general store and it opened in 1896. Peter Cobb operated it until 1931. The store offered what they community needed and was an important gathering spot. The stores motto was Everything to Eat, Wear, and Use. Today on the first floor of the building is Old Florida Coffee Company, a micro roaster. They kept the historic integrity of the building and I am sure the building's former residents would be pleased to know it is still a community gathering spot. On the second floor is the Budd Adams-Cobb Cultural Center which preserves the history of the building and Ft. Pierce. Bud Adams is Mr. Alto Adams, also known as Bud who made a financial contribution to preserve the P. P. Cobb building. He passed away in 2017 at the age of 91. He was a rancher and an environmentalist. In the center you will find maps, vintage photos, drawing of archeological discoveries, and other materials. There is no admission to enter and it staffed by volunteers. If you find yourself in downtown Ft. Pierce stop by for a cup of coffee and a dose of Treasure Coast history in the P. P. Cobb building. This link to the past is well worth a visit.
