    Flagler College is stunning. Worth a look if you’re in St. Augustine.

    Very interesting! Now I get why my Great grandfather left the East Coast of Florida and settled on the West Coast.
    Even then it was quieter on the West side. The East Coast is vastly different than the West. I hope it stays that way a little longer.

    Some immigration instruments Flagler used still exist today. Born and raised here , it was never paradise or affluent for so many.

      High speed trains are upcoming connecting major cities. One new one running thru my area, Central FL, connects Miami with Orlando, Brightline. These are a coming thing now government funded mostly. I'm sure there are investors would benefit. I think high speed rails going direct cross country are impractical. People would rather fly. A high speed train from coast to coast would be okay with me, tho, I'm terrified of flying!

    “A women of remarkable beauty and intelligence ”? I’m going to have to disagree. Is that a personal opinion from the author or is that public consensus

      Every time I hear these people described as “remarkable beauties” I keep saying to myself, “it’s in the eye the beholder, it’s in the eye of the beholder!”
      I find them anything but.
