Sarasota Livin'

Bike ride Saturday afternoon took me by the Chalk Festival .... really good art. I need to go by today and see the finished artwork... Thanks to all who kept this going in a down year.

I went by for a while ... it was a good crowd with lots of beer ... and a band from last year... AC/DC coverband ... good for all ages.node/2866/track

for the kids!!!

I saw this on Creative Loafing's coverage of the "Tea Party" in Sarasota. Most of the pictures were fine -- some of them pretty funny signs.

But I think this one is way out of line.... there is no way we have had 200 years of great government .... and I just don't think President Obama is any worse that the previous occupants of the White House... especially based on the short time he has been there..

I went to my first Sarasota Bradenton Digital Photographers Meetup it was fun -- Thanks Tori !!

In his letter from home column in today's SHT Harold Bubil is "Getting the point" he says we have a 14 month supply of condos in the $1 - $2 million range but only 2.4 months supply in the $250 - 500 K range.

This is not quite "affordable housing" (whatever that means) but it is the price point we need to cater to for downtown Sarasota to thrive. This is the home price for the young professional and empty nesters. I think there would be even a stronger market for townhouses -- in the walk / bike to downtown area -- in this price range to escape the monthly maintenance fees.
