Downtown
Florida Studio Theatre
Just cruising around downtown and thought I would take a few pictures of some fun places...
Another view of an alley in downtown Sarasota
Do you know where this is?
It really didn't look bad in there.
The Ugly Backside of Main Street
Biking today I could not resist this not very nice picture...
of the alley just north of Main St. Yes the trash must be somewhere..
Two major downtown retail projects are exciting, but questions remain
Rod Thomson is calling it correctly ... there are several teams going for the golden retail prize in Sarasota. Pineapple Square and Sarasota Bayside both promise to be great shopping destinations.
It seems that some of the luster of retail in Lakewood Ranch is wearing off ... retail construction seems slow and some places are closing down pretty quick...
My vote is Downtown Sarasota will win out for new retailers but I hope we keep a good mix of independent stores... I really don't like mall shopping..
