WSLR has events almost every week!!

Chill Lounge is coming the beginning of March!!

We had a fabulous New Year's Eve crowd on Main street, family orientated in the daytime!!

Circus Sarasota & Big Animal Habitat!!

(I did leave town last night to experience Dark Star Orchestra in Tampa & found the Tampa Bay Performing Arts center to be in a league of it's own as well, if you haven't been there, it's totally worth the hour drive!)

yeah...boring (NOT!!!)...
Hoping to attend that Vinyl MF in April. Will likely be attending the Chill Lounge.

Always something interesting to do in Sarasota.

BTW Sarasota's Libraries Rock. A city with a great library system

This is not a complement you see every day. Most people do not get excited about parking structures. This must be something very special!

Yes, they put "sails" on it (like a sailboat!) to decorate it and it really transforms it, and goes with the city. Kudos to the designers!

I probably saw it a couple of weeks ago when I was in Sarasota and didn't even think anything of it. Everything I briefly saw in downtown Sarasota just looked like it belonged there. That's a good thing, right?

The Ringling house is extremely interesting as a piece of history, and just beautiful.

Coming home, we took the scenic route from Bird Key past Lido Shores and up Longboat Key to Anna Maria Island, then back across on #64. The beaches and beach villages were very cool. It was a great day.

Yeah, Sarasota rocks.

Ringling Museum of Art

Hi Marco!

Amazing beauty all over that area for sure.

That is one thing we have never done in Florida.

Will add it to our list.

Glad you had such a great day.
