The Flamingo in Murray Hill serves coffee, food, beer and wine at its brick-and-mortar location, while also providing catering and wholesale coffee to other businesses in the area.
Flamingo's new location is the previous home of Isla Blends, a local juice shop.
Isla Blends closed on February 25th after making the announcement over social media:
'After countless hours of effort, love, and dedication, unfortunately we couldn't reach an agreement with our landlord regarding the lease terms moving forward. Sometimes, things just don't work out the way we hope, and as much as it hurts, we are still so grateful for our time here at 322 Anastasia!'

Atlanta rent prices down 1% compared to 2024, but rose month-to-month
The median rent prices across the United States are starting to trend lower, and the same is true for Atlanta. While the dollar amounts differ, Atlanta and the United States writ large both had year-over-year rental price decreases of 1%. Similarly, both the country overall and the city saw rent prices creep upward by 0.5% in May, according to real estate firm Redfin. According to Redfin's latest report, the median rent in Atlanta is $1,549, lower than the U.S. average of $1,633.

Redfin reported that, nationally, 'the rental vacancy rate for buildings with five or more units was 8.2% in the first quarter" of 2025. The company said rent prices are also less volatile than during the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Apartment construction in America has been hovering near a 50-year high, and even though renter demand is strong, it's not keeping pace with supply,' Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari said. 'Many units are sitting vacant for months, which means renters have power to negotiate concessions and landlords have less leeway to keep rents high.' [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

St. Johns County Commissioners extend administrator's contract 3 years amid tense debate
St. Johns County's Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday extended the contract of its County Administrator. This comes weeks after Action News Jax's Ben Becker confirmed that Joy Andrews applied for the Palm Beach County Administrator position, then withdrew her name from consideration. 'I made a decision, regardless of the differences of opinion about me or my role or how I'm performing, my hope is that I can at least show my commitment to my staff, my children, my community who have shown up today,' Andrews said at Tuesday's meeting. County Commissioner Krista Joseph, who has been a critic of Andrews, said during the meeting she was now 'all for' Andrews, but said she just wanted to see more initiatives fully completed. [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] 'I haven't seen a lot of the goals completed. I've seen them on their way, but not completed. The Black History Museum, it's not a done deal. There are so many things, the World Golf, the FCC, the comprehensive plan, the tree ordinance. When I see those things accomplished, I'm like all for you. I do, we do work together great when we do the agendas. I don't have any problem with Joy. I just want to see accomplishment and reward accomplishment with an increase in time or salary,' Joseph said. By a 3-2 vote, the commissioners gave Andrews a three-year contract extension on top of 18 months remaining on her existing contract, keeping her on through 2030. Her pay remains $285,000 a year plus annual cost of living increases. In an email that was sent last month, Andrews wrote she was withdrawing from consideration because she wants to see through 'critical initiatives' in St. Johns County. 'Given the politics at the time, I briefly considered all my options,' Andrews said in a statement to Becker in May. 'I am 100% committed to St. Johns County and it has been my family's home for more than two decades. I'm grateful for the support of a majority of the commission and look forward to working together for years to come.' Andrews has served as county administrator since 2023, following the abrupt resignation of her predecessor, Hunter Conrad. [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] In January, St. Johns County Board Chair Krista Joseph introduced a motion of no confidence in Andrews, a move that signaled internal tension within the county leadership. That motion was ultimately voted down by the rest of the board, allowing Andrews to retain her position.
