Local School Board candidate Reginald Blount joins us to discuss his run for Duval County’s District 5 seat, which extends from Northwest Jacksonville to the Westside. As part of First Coast Connect’s ongoing local election coverage, we ask Blount about key issues, from proposed school closures to politics in district policy, and take listener calls and questions.
Then, we explore the history of a lesbian separatist community in St. Augustine. The author of The Pagoda: A Lesbian Community by the Sea shares her research into the decades-long experiment and the residents who populated the once-thriving beachfront community.
