Sarasota Livin'

OK I am usually a cheerleader for how great Sarasota is but these dumpsters are really getting me mad. This is the view coming into my neighborhood from Hillview St. and US41. This is across the street from Sarasota Memorial Hospital. I took these pictures today walking home from the Giving Hunger the Blues Benefit.


Just in case you wanted a close-up of the garbage which has been piled up there for weeks. They may pick it up sometimes but I have seen a huge pile for a least the past month.

Just to show I am not picking on just one trashy apartment complex there are two more dumpsters right around the corner belonging to the Hillview Apartments. PS that is East Ave. -- I mean literally East Ave. -- I think it is hanging over into the street.

Today they were not overflowing but I got close enough to see the flies swarming around.

If the city of Sarasota doesn't have a rule about screening dumpsters on a public roadway WE NEED ONE NOW!!!!
I don't really blame the residents as they just live there but the owners / management companies are screwing over my neighborhood. Hillview St. is one of the main entrances to Arlington Park and we are tired of this "garbage"
