St. Johns County author culls photographs, stories for Hastings book


In the front of an old building on Main Street in Hastings is a historical marker telling visitors a short story of the little town in southern St. Johns County.
Behind the sign is a large coquina building that opened in 1924 and once housed the town s kindergarten through high school, and then the town s city hall. Now, in a small section of the building, it is home to a county library branch.
For Greg Leonard, author of Hastings: Florida s Potato Capital, the town behind the sign is what his book is about.
The sign gives you this kind of a glimpse about Hastings, Leonard said. But if you really want to know what s behind that story, this book will tell you a lot more about what was going on in this special little town. ....

Fisher Island Hotel History


Fisher Island Hotel History
Once a one-family island home of the Vanderbilts, and later several other millionaires, Fisher Island off South Florida, was sold for development in the 1960s.

Fisher Island is in Miami-Dade County, Florida, located on a barrier island of the same name. As of 2015, Fisher Island had the highest per capita income of any place in the United States. The CDP had only 218 households and a total population of 467. ....
