Last week’s photo of the Magic Beach Motel near St. Augustine, also known as the Vilano Beach Motel, shows a very cool place. It has been around for nearly a half century and has been the location for a television show and a few movies. No, it’s not the Ritz — the Ritz isn’t nearly as cool. Bill and Margie Galbreath (great to hear from you! How have you been?) demonstrated their worldliness and sophistication by recognizing it — they even knew the original name! Despite what some may think, nostalgic Florida Cool doesn’t only exist on the right-hand coast. We have some seriously hip and happening stuff over here, too. In this case, we have a great place to get ice cream. Do you know where this is? Have you personally ordered the hand-made 32 oz. chocolate shake? Let me tell you, it’s delicious and a monster of a shake. I’m not sure any human should suck down that much ice cream in one sitting but I had to, I tell you. I’m putting myself out there for the sake of journalism and it ain’t a job for the spineless and gutless (I’ve got the latter down pat. Just a few more monster chocolate shakes and the last thing anyone will call me is gutless). Send your guess to

. Yeah, go ahead and finish your shake first.
