This is a story about a shopping mall makeover in St. Augustine. It's also about business and one church's way to connect with the community and the world.
Just talk to William Venanzio, aka Captain Scallywag, operator of a pirate-themed food truck that makes its home at Coconut Barrel, an artisan flea market at 3175 U.S. 1 South in St. Augustine.
The business parking lot houses a rotating schedule of mobile canteens, serving specialty items from German cuisine to YAMO, an Italian street food concept.
The owners of Coconut Barrel opened up their parking area to food trucks about a year ago, at the same time opening up the door to businesses with an established following, as well as more fledgling ventures, like Captain Scallywag, looking for a foothold to build upon.
