About Us
Welcome to the King Street Journal, the definitive digital record of culture, commerce, and community in the heart of St. Augustine, Florida. While the "Ancient City" is known for its sprawling history, we focus our lens on the King Street corridor—the vital artery that connects the historic plaza to the burgeoning West City district.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide locals and travelers with a curated perspective on St. Augustine and its growth and changes. We go beyond the tourist brochures to document the craftsmanship of our distillers, the heritage of our architecture, and the soul of our local arts scene. We believe that by highlighting the small businesses and historic landmarks of King Street, we preserve historic and the current significance of downtown St. Augustine’s main street.
At King Street Journal, we all walk, dine, and work in St. Augustine proper. Our team is familiar with all the ins and outs, corners and crevices, nooks and crannies, and want to bring it to everyone’s attention, both local and tourist. We aim to give everyone who comes down to the historic district of the nation’s oldest city tips and tricks to ensure a trip, short or long, that is worth coming back to and talking about. Our articles are independent, only influenced by experiences and tastes, and the desire to share them with those who are looking for something to experience for a day or a week. We advocate for the preservation and conservation of downtown St. Augustine’s historic buildings and architecture.
