The Local Side of Abraxi Taxi
AbraxiTaxi.org is the stories, opinions and local knowledge behind Abraxi Taxi, an independent taxi company serving St. Augustine and St. Johns County since 2008.
If you’re simply looking for a taxi, rates or information about our transportation services, our official business website is AbraxiTaxi.com.
This site is a little different.
After nearly two decades driving the streets of St. Augustine, you learn things that don’t necessarily appear in a travel brochure. You learn which roads clog up when everyone else discovers the same shortcut. You hear restaurant recommendations from people who actually live here. You watch neighborhoods change, businesses come and go, hurricanes blow through, tourists get lost and locals somehow find another back road.
A Taxi Driver’s View of St. Augustine
And you hear stories. Lots of stories.
AbraxiTaxi.org is where we tell some of them.
A taxi is an unusual place from which to watch a city.
Over the years, Abraxi Taxi has carried local workers, visitors, restaurant employees, wedding guests, musicians, golfers, tourists, night owls and people simply trying to get home.
That experience gives us a perspective on St. Augustine that is neither a tourism brochure nor a corporate travel guide.
We write about getting around St. Augustine, restaurants, beaches, nightlife, concerts, local history, neighborhoods, transportation and some of the oddities that make America’s oldest city such an interesting place to live.
Sometimes we’re helpful.
Sometimes we’re opinionated.
Occasionally we’re even right.
The .com and the .org
There are two Abraxi websites for a reason.
AbraxiTaxi.com is the business.
That’s where you’ll find information about Abraxi Taxi, transportation services, rates and how to contact us for a ride.
AbraxiTaxi.org is the conversation.
That’s where you’ll find our articles, local guides, observations and stories from nearly two decades on the road.
Or, as we’ve come to describe it:
AbraxiTaxi.com is the menu. AbraxiTaxi.org is the chef.
Both websites are part of Abraxi Taxi. They simply have different jobs.
Local Knowledge Comes Standard
We aren’t trying to become another giant travel website.
Our advantage is smaller than that—and perhaps more useful.
We actually live and work here.
When we write about St. Augustine traffic, we’ve driven through it. When we write about getting to a concert, we’ve taken people there. When we talk about tourists struggling with parking downtown, we’ve watched it happen thousands of times.
That firsthand experience is the foundation of this site.
The St. Augustine Almanac
AbraxiTaxi.org is also becoming a home for The St. Augustine Almanac, our growing collection of local history, practical information and stories about the Ancient City and St. Johns County.
The Almanac goes beyond transportation. It explores the people, places, food, wildlife, beaches, neighborhoods and history that shaped this corner of Florida.
It is another extension of the same idea behind this website:
Local knowledge is worth preserving—and sharing.
