LEADING OFF: What s happening in and around the Beaches
For Shorelines
Cemetery tour Saturday
Learn about African American history at the Beaches during a walking tour of Lee Kirkland Cemetery on Saturday, Feb. 13 at 1 p.m. Hosted by the Beaches Museum, the tour will be conducted by local history detective Johnny Woodhouse.
The Lee Kirkland Cemetery has been the burial grounds for the local African American population for the last 100 years or more. With marked and unmarked graves, it can be difficult to trace the lives of the people interred there. Join Woodhouse in an exploration of the cemetery’s lost histories.
Country music star Rodney Atkins will headline a fundraiser for INK!, the nonprofit education foundation of the St. Johns County School District, as part of a kick-off to a new socially-distanced concert series at Tringali Barn at Heritage Farms in St. Augustine.
The March 5 event will feature Atkins, a Tennessee-born country singer with six No. 1 hits, and launch the inaugural Concerts for a Cause series being produced by Heritage Farms and Adams Entertainment. A portion of the proceeds will go to education enrichment programs.
Donna Lueders, executive director for INK!, said in a phone interview with The Record Tuesday that the group was grateful to Chris Shee, owner of Tringali Barn at Heritage Farms, for making INK! the beneficiary of the kick-off event in his live music series.

This year, our annual compendium of dining debuts looks very different. There’s no talk of buzzy scenes, dazzling design, and intricate plating. Instead, it’s takeout, shifting business models, and struggles to survive. We’ve lost loved ones and beloved businesses, but amidst the devastation and heartbreak of the past year, one thing that’s remained constant is the power of restaurants to comfort, to bring us together, even when we’re only able to order delivery and gather with the members of our immediate household. So we’re celebrating an exciting, eclectic array of establishments, new and old, that have nourished both our bodies and spirits. Bon appetit!
