Notably: Flagler Beach City Commissioner Scott Spradley, Writing in his personal Facebook page on Thursday: “In 2009, I was settling in with the move of my Law Firm from Orlando to Flagler Beach. Early on, I discovered The Waffle Cone Ice Cream Shop, which was a block from my office. At the time, I was craving a new source of sugar, having given up alcohol in October of that year. So I frequented Waffle Cone every night, and became acquainted with staff there, including a delightful high school student named Lauren. Over time, Lauren was a fill in babysitter for my daughter Alyson. Then, Lauren helped out as a receptionist at my Law Firm, all the while being pleasant, capable and dependable. In 2011, I lost my receptionist, as Lauren found a ‘real’ job, with the Palm Coast Parks & Recreation dept. Fast forward to 2024, and I find myself as a Flagler Beach City Commissioner. As for Lauren? Well…my loss is the City of Palm Coast’s gain, as yesterday, Lauren Johnston became the Palm Coast City Manager. 
What a crazy world it is!! I am sure after knowing Lauren for well over a decade, she will do a fantastic job for Palm Coast and its residents. I wish Lauren well and know all of you will welcome her into the fold. Way to go Lauren! 
” (Johnston replied: “Thank you so much for the support over the years! I’m grateful to have people like you celebrate these achievements! Looking forward to continuing to collaborate on projects!”

Valdrada’s inhabitants know that each of their actions is, at once, that action and its mirror-image, which possesses the special dignity of images, and this awareness prevents them from succumbing for a single moment to chance and forgetfulness. Even when lovers twist their naked bodies, skin against skin, seeking the position that will give one the most pleasure in the other, even when murderers plunge the knife into the black veins of the neck and more clotted blood pours out the more they press the blade that slips between the tendons, it is not so much their copulating or murdering that matters as the copulating or murdering of the images, limpid and cold in the mirror.”
–From Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities (1972).
