We will be there May 14th for a few days to check everything out and hopefully find a house to rent....so if any locals know of any 3-4 bedroom homes available in July in the Palmer Ranch area or within a great school area near there(with a pool, I'm not asking for much..hehe!) let us know.

Can't wait to get there. I've been a bit sad lately since I've never lived without my family around me so this move will be a HUGE shock, for sure. I'm just hoping we can get my family to follow us soon!

Any meet-ups going on then? Going to start looking at restaurants to go to now!

Ya know, it seems like there are a lot of requests for rentals in Palmer Ranch(just here on CD). Seems like you might do well if you had one. Oh, both of you might also want to check out Rivendell in Osprey.

Have a great time on your trip down and I hope you find what you're looking for

Shells went out of business, it is some other type of seafood place now. I think it's called Stingray's.

Bring your Babe-in-Suit, and head straight for the beach. Pack your sunglasses, and suntan lotion, and check into the hotel after dinner.

But must importantly enjoy yourself! You can count on good weather now.

Dang. I was there 2 years ago and it's been a favorite for ages.

Is it essentially the same in terms of food etc? If not any other recommendations?

Yeah, it went chain...I saw one pop up in the Chicago burbs about 10 years ago. It sucked.

Liquidation bankruptcy.

Please tell me what dogs are on the FL in particular the Sarasota-Venice area AGGRESSIVE DOG LIST
I am from Ontario and was quite surprised to learn today that my Standard Poodle is on it. What are the rest of the breeds and how many are there?
I have a Standard Poodle and a Goldendoodle 63lbs each,males well trained and very quiet. I am having an impossible time finding a place to rent. And I can only be there for 1/2 the year but will rent for entire year;annually. Just myself and two dogs. Well...one on the AGGRESSIVE LIST now as I just found out today.
