“To have these buildings and facilities with us… and there’s so much history here that people probably aren’t aware of,†said Janis Boatright of the Historic St. Andrews Waterfront Partnership. “It’s a good way to just walk in, go to your local restaurants and adult establishments, and then stop by museums as well and see what they have to offer.â€
