When my husband and I were house hunting for a home in Jacksonville some years back, we started to notice a trend. The cleanest houses always made it to the top of our list! Shortly after when we decided to rent out our home in Louisiana and become landlords for the first time, the tenant we chose won us over when she proudly announced, “I’m a clean freak!”. We knew that she would help protect the value of our biggest investment – our home. Recently when I asked several Davidson Realty Agents, each and every one of them confirmed what I suspected all along: Clean homes show better, sell faster and command higher prices.

Open to all World Golf Village residents and neighbors, the new Speaker Series season kick off with an important Back to School topic geared to parents of current middle school and high school students. Craig Speziale, Principal of Ponte Vedra High School and a seasoned academic administrator, will discuss getting students ready for high school and post-high school, including changing academic requirements that may impact current middle school and high school students. Says Speziale, “Successfully managing the transition from middle school to high school and from high school to college or other post high school opportunities can be a great advantage for students. With recent changes in academic requirements in the state of Florida, we want to help parents understand the changes and be aware of the resources available and what the St. Johns County School District is doing to help prepare students.”

I’ve been excited to try Blackfly for a while now. It started when I first noticed the building one morning following a bike ride in Anastasia State Park. The restaurant sits just east of the Bridge of Lions and I noticed it because it had been painted a refreshing Caribbean blue. My curiosity continued when I found out that the same folks who own Collage restaurant in downtown St. Augustine were partners in the new restaurant. Well, my curiosity was quenched Friday, July 20 when my husband and I enjoyed a great evening at Blackfly.
