The Corner Market in Lincolnville St. Augustine - One of the few Black-Owned Businesses Left - is Raising Money for Major Renovations

The Corner Market in Lincolnville at 97 MLK Avenue, St. Augustine, FL has been in the Smith family's ownership for decades, and for the past seven years Nyk Smith has been running it. It is one of the few black-owned businesses left in this historic area, which was built by formerly enslaved people, and if this building could talk, it would have so many stories to tell. You can find the full piece about The Corner Market in Lincolnville at the St. Augustine Connection.

West King Is A Thing - West King Wednesday in St. Augustine Is Where Locals Go

WEST KING IS A THING . St. Augustine's west side is undergoing a not-so-subtle transformation, and the businesses in the West King business district just west of US1 are not letting it pass them by. Singer Jolie at the West King Market While the West King district in St. Augustine is just a short distance away from downtown St. Augustine, it is not an extension of the touristy downtown that locals often shy away from, it is a completely different feel. Read the full piece about the West King Market and West King Wednesday at the Florida Coastal Connection.

The West Augustine real estate market is so competitive that some houses are sold within days of being listed for sale, but while small used to mean affordable housing, this is no longer the case. The high home prices mean that many locals cannot afford to buy, and rent has increased to levels that are not sustainable for most people working in the area. You can read the full piece on the St. Augustine Housing Market at the St. Augustine Connection.

Follow the Freedom Trail in St. Augustine
