Keep the Ferry – and Historic A1A: Our Islands and Coastline Needs It

No Netflix? Here’s Why

Have you tried streaming anything from Netflix tonight? Or even tried to simply check your email? If you live in Ponte Vedra Beach, and are a customer of Comcast, don’t expect to be able to do either of those things into this work week.
