The CBO was very polite and explained things respectfully and professionally. I know some people are quick to judge these departments but they are in place to protect us citizens. The CBO was very personable and my interactions with him were positive. My advice to my fellow citizens of Holly Hill is don't rush judgment on our city workers just because they do their job. A permit was immediately pulled and work continued. Thanks CBO for your understanding and for all you do in the community.

4,000th Review…read more Located in the heart of America's oldest city, the Plaza de la Constitucion has been the center of everything St. Augustine for centuries and definitely worthy of my 4000th review although I'm not so sure I can do this place justice. I've been here many times. Since St. Augustine is a walking town for the most part even if you're a trolley rider this "park" is always a welcoming sight when you're looking for a shady spot to take a break away from the bars, shops and also a place to regather your sanity if you're experiencing a little historic sightseeing overload. This plaza offers a great people watching opportunity asides from its share of monuments, historic markers, cannons, statues, placards, and seasonal enhancements. I always stop here and find a bench to reset before continuing the endless journey around St. Augustine, I don't think it's possible to see it all even if you're a local, every step in this town is connected to something historic, I doubt there's a square inch of property here that hasn't been trampled on or photographed a million times before you came to town. If you need to reset your compass, to the east is the Bridge of Lions, to the north Saint George Street, to the west the The Governor's House and to the south if you're up for a walk The National Cemetery with an abundance of not so advertised sights along the way. The streets surrounding this beautiful park are congested and combined with the street side parking and a fair share of jay-walkers navigating this area requires your full attention but definitely worth stopping in if only for a few moments. The Plaza de la Constitucion is the oldest public space in America. Laid out by Spanish Royal Ordinances in 1573, it's been and still remains, a social gathering place for many special events throughout the year. The Constitution Monument is an obelisk constructed in 1813 in celebration of the newly formed government in Spain. As the capital of the Spanish colony of Florida, St. Augustine was decreed by Spain to build it. Today, it is believed to be the only surviving monument of its kind. The Public Market Place was originally built in 1598. It was rebuilt in 1824 and used as a market for the sale of meats and produce. It was here where a standard of weights and measures was first introduced in the country. The market place was rebuilt in 1888 following a fire in 1887. There's a lot of history here as there is across the ancient city but it all starts here...

The Plaza was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970 and is home to several monuments and landmarks: the constitution monument, the public market place, and the Foot soldiers monument, Thruout the year, during summer there are various concerts performed and from November thru January, the park is lit up by millions of tiny white lights during the Nights of Lights, which we have attended twice now. It is incredibly beautiful and magical. We will be going again this evening for a final look.

Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth is one of the most popular landmarks in St. Augustine, Florida…read more You can start your visit by following the paved pathway while greeting the colorful peacocks, who make their homes around the grounds. The Founders Boardwalk near the rear of the park is a quaint waterfront trail leading to sweeping views of the St. Augustine inlet and Matanzas River. Next to the boardwalk is a 35-foot replica Spanish Watchtower which can be climbed on for 360-degree panoramas of the surrounding 15-acre Fountain of Youth park. When you return back towards the front entrance, you may notice a quarter dispenser for releasing food in order to feed the peacocks. This makes for a playful moment as the peacocks are gentle and will gladly eat from your hands. Now it's time to sample the magical waters from the Fountain of Youth... Entering inside the Fountain of Youth building gives tourists a visualization into Ponce de Leon's discoveries. Make sure to grab a cup, approach the spring waters and drink from de Leon's mystical fountain. It's nothing but tap water, lol, but if you believe in the extraordinary powers from the legendary tale, you can feel rejuvenated. Overall, the Fountain of Youth is a playful historical attraction making the oldest city in the United States, St. Augustine, Florida, a worthwhile visit. Lastly, outside the gates to the Fountain of Youth is Magnolia Avenue, a charming street leading to breathtaking canopies of ancient live oak trees draped in Spanish moss.
