"CHARLOTTE STREET, ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA."
Sent from HPL June 23rd, 1934
"Greetings from the oldest city in the United States -- founded by the Spanish in 1565, ceded to the British in 1763, ceded back to Spain 1783, sold to U.S. in 1821 . . . . . The subtropical climate braces me up like a tonic - I shall hate to return north!"

My parents went there on vacation every autumn for years and years. They'd stay a few days in Virginia, then travel to Charleston, stay about a week and then make their way down to St. Augustine and just chill there, enjoying the town and the clement weather.

Does this mean they were Lovecraft fans?

Hahaha! yeah I doubt they'd ever heard of him! Well maybe my father had, he enjoyed old monster movies, and he used to read me Poe when I was a child. I think they were just really into travelling to places with lots of colonial history. They hardly ever came out west for anything.

Cool ! Well, they say that people who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. I know people who simply love all things old. They can't get enought of it. Then, again, I've met people who disdain "old," and are determined to spent their time only with that which is bright and new. Strange world.
