Thousands of tiny white lights have been illuminating the Nation’s Oldest City during the holiday season for the past 14 years.
“Did you know there use to be two movie theaters in the center of town? [They] only cost $1,” Flagler Assistant Professor Nicholas Panepinto said. Full of interesting St. Augustine tidbits, he is a proud former Saint. He was describing the historical downtown scenery before the tradition of Nights of Lights started.
