OurTown Sarasota Commentary

 

 


Florida HB 421 would take away County rights to limit fertilizer pollution in our creeks and streams, what is Tallahasse thinking?

 Certainly there is something to be learned from the pointless death of Donna Chen by an accused DUI driver on Siesta Key. More restrictive laws for repeat offenders? Enhanced road patrols and enforcement? Required drivers education? There must be some better answers.

Sarasota's Big Pass on Thursday. Around 80 , windy ,sunny,  but, hazy.

 



The Ringling Bridge that the City of Sarasota in it's infinite wisdom fought and lost to the tune of $5 million in city tax dollars. They could have built a nice park for that amount.

 

Tuesday's weather was a 10, in the low 80's low humidity and clear skies.

 

How fun does this car look to drive. We couldn't figure out why they didn't have their top down on such a beautiful day.

The Blackburn Road bridge built in the early 1900's is one of a few horizontal opening bridges. Shown here is the bridge operator.

 

As SWAirlines takes over AirTran, they will no longer serve Sarasota Bradenton Airport effective in August.
