Magazine BLU is sexy, smart,
social and sophisticated. It is the choice of professional,
upwardly mobile, confident, intelligent and philanthropic individuals
who enjoy their work, social and personal status.
BLU readers do not routinely want
celebrity gossip, objectification of either gender, blatantly offensive
story lines or tips for following here-today, gone-tomorrow trends.
Magazine BLU readers do seek
diversion from everyday stressors, through discovery of emerging
artists, the best vacations, things to do and cuisine to enjoy. They
want advice regarding timely and quality additions to their already
established personal wardrobe and home interior, key pieces of
sophistication earmarked to become timeless classics.
Magazine BLU presents
cutting-edge features and editorials about known and unknown individuals
who have made their mark on society, or who are on the cusp of making a
difference in our world. Celebrities are featured, not simply because of
celebrity, but because they have something to say that we think you
might want to hear.
Magazine BLU does not seek to
"matchmake" or promote marriage, nor do we discourage
transition from singledom to a personal partnership.
BLU simply brings forward the
news, information, diversion and tools you want for the ultimate
enjoyment of your own personal ride!
That is what is different about Magazine BLU.
So, are you BLU?

St. Augustine:
Cultural Experiences
By Kimberly Toms
Summer 2008
Cultural / Historic Institutions, Music Venues and Museums
Castillo de
San Marcos National Monument
A local stone called coquina – a limestone rock formed of tiny
seashells bonded together over time – was utilized as the masonry
for the Spaniards to construct the Castillo from 1672 to 1695, upon
the orders of the Queen Regent Mariana of Spain. Its primary purpose
was to defend the city and port, particularly from neighboring
Charleston, recently founded only two days’ sail from St. Augustine.
The Castillo is the oldest remaining European fortification in the
continental United States. Open everyday except Christmas, from 8:45
a.m. to 5:15 p.m. (last tickets are issued at 4:45 p.m.), the entrance
fee is $6.00 for age 16+, 15 and under are free. For more information,
visit the National Park Service website at www.nps.gov/archive/casa.
St.
Augustine City Gates
Directly across from the Castillo are the City Gates. Constructed of
coquina in 1808, the existing gates were an improvement upon the
original access point of 1739. It was the only entry to St. Augustine
through the defense line on the north side of the Spanish settlement.
Today, these gates lead you right to St. George Street and all of its
history and shopping possibilities.
Flagler
College
One called the Hotel Ponce de Leon, this campus was a very exclusive
luxury resort, built by Henry Flagler the railroad magnate in 1887. It
is widely known for its Tiffany glass windows, artwork and interesting
architecture. An active college campus, tours are offered daily. 74
King Street. 904.819.6400.
St.
Augustine Lighthouse & Museum
Built over a span of three years from 1871 to 1874, the Lighthouse
offers panoramic views of St. Augustine and the surrounding shoreline.
The lightkeeper’s house also contains a museum. 904.829.0745.
Lightner Museum
Once the Alcazar Hotel of 1888, this museum houses Victorian
memorabilia, Tiffany art glass, paintings, sculpture, toys, porcelain,
and furnishings. 75 King Street, in the City Hall building. 9:00 a.m.
