 To St. Augustine Florida
There are many worthwhile St. Augustine historic sites to visit. St. Augustine is the “Nation’s Oldest City.” St. Augustine is very historic and many visitors are quite surprised to find out just how much there is to do there. To see all of the sites you would have to plan to spend several days. Here you have the opportunity to plan your own day in St. Augustine. Below are just some of the many attractions to visit.


* Castillo de San Marcos – our world famous National Monument.
* Lightner Museum – three floors of antiques from America’s guilded age. Very nice – don’t miss this one.
* Oldest House Complex – a National Historic Landmark operated by the St. Augustine Historical Society.
* Villa Zorayda Museum – an elegant guilded age home built by Franklin W. Smith in 1883. A favorite!
* Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse– a little schoolhouse built in the 1800's.
* Fountain of Youth - take a sip from the spring Ponce de Leon hoped was his Fountain of Youth.
* Flagler College - tour the former hotel Ponce de Leon built by Henry Flagler in 1887. It is currently the home of Flagler College.
* St. Augustine Lighthouse - a spectacular view 165 feet above sea level. Climb to the top of the tower, visit the museum, and learn about the preservation of this historic landmark.
* Old Jail - tour this historic jail built by Henry Flagler in 1891. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

DON’T SAVE YOUR HOME ADDRESS IN YOUR GPS UNDER THE TITLE HOME .

Recently it seems that thieves are looking for cars with GPS units for several reasons, one of which is to see if your address is listed in the “Home” saved location.  Most GPS devices have a “Home” option where you can store and easily retrieve your home address without having to retype it every time.  Potential burglars figure if they find your car far enough away from your home, then you’re away from home as well making you that much more of a potential target. Instead of saving your address under the title “Home”, save it under a random name that still points you to your home. Then for “Home” you could put the address of your local law enforcement agency.

Please observe the MOVE OVER law. Click here to see the MOVE OVER video

Motorists oftentimes do not see emergency vehicles, and fail to avoid closed lanes or emergency workers on or near the roadway. In some cases, weather and road conditions can reduce a motorist's ability to see law enforcement officers, fire fighters and medical personnel working the scene of a crash. However, motorists need to pay attention to vehicles parked on the side of roadways, especially emergency vehicles with flashing lights, and react in accordance with the Move Over Law and use basic common sense.

Law requires you to vacate the lane closest to the EMERGENCY VEHICLE or WRECKER (TOW TRUCK).  If you cannot, you must slow to a speed 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit.  If the speed limit is 20mph or less you must slow to 5 mph.

Tips for Reporting Graffiti

Reporting graffiti to the police is important for intelligence gathering purpose but it is also equally important to report graffiti to Code Enforcement who can require the owner of the property to remove it within 24 to 48 hours. Attached is a copy of important city department phone numbers.

The Osceola County Sheriff Office has also started a new graffiti abatement program. They will be going out two Fridays a month to paint over graffiti in the city and county. If you locate any graffiti call 321-697-4374 (please put this number on your web-site) with the location. They will not respond to painted street signs and items like that.

JambBrace The Door Reinforcer

Developed by veteran home builders and supported by law enforcement agencies and insurance companies, the JambBrace  was designed with homeowners in mind.

JambBrace is a heavy-duty aluminum insert that strengthens the weakest part of a door - its frame. Completely concealed within the door trim, the JambBrace is unseen. The preferred installation of the JambBrace is to use it with a Kwikset Titan dead bolt and a    U-shaped door edge protector. This "door reinforcer" makes it virtually impossible to break-in the door using physical force.

With just a few tools and detailed instructions that accompany your JambBrace, within an hour you can feel the same confidence and security that thousands of other JambBrace users feel knowing their home is more safe.

Don't want to do it yourself, we offer expert installation.
