Over a billion dollars has been put into ensuring people would vote “yes” to make fishing and hunting a “public right” in the Florida constitution. We have laws ensuring that no overfishing happens so we don’t deplete our resources. Vote no on amendment 2!!

Has anyone done chelation therapy around Sarasota and if so where did you go and how much did it cost ?

Not a big deal - and borderline rhetorical question - but why was it sent from Orlando and not Sarasota or even Tampa?

Reese’s for privacy lol

Wondering if any locals could help get an idea how extensive the damage and cleanup is for Sarasota/ Siesta key. I’m planning a trip for early April 2025 and was hoping things would be mostly cleaned up by then.

TLDR: Do you expect Sarasota: Siesta Key to return to normalcy by April?

Waited too long, now Saturday is sold out. My fault, I know. Got any tickets??

Any legit tips on purchasing a used motorcycle from a dealer?

1. Expected sales tactics? Is it similar to buying a car.

2. Expected add on charges, other than tax, tag and registration?

3. Any negotiation tactics you can share? If that's a thing.

4. What red flags to look for?

Thanks in advance!

When i file the claim they have Safelite is a default option but i was wondering if there were any better spots to go to or they come to me.

Where can girls between 18-21 make friends around here? My girlfriend is struggling with depression because she has almost no friends post-high school and she’s not old enough to go to bars, so where can she make friends her age around here? She pretty much only gets the opportunity to go out with me but she wants other friends in the area not st Pete but Sarasota that she could see

Edit: thank you all for the replies. Unfortunately work, especially a restaurant isn’t an option as she is physically disabled and pending disability

She loves art, she wants to join SCF and use their program to access Ringling college. Until her disability hits and it covers her schooling, it’s impossible to find anyone her age around here. Where do the Ringling artists hang out after class? Lol

I lost my beloved tiki hut in hurricane Milton from a fallen tree. This hut was beautiful and such a nice addition to the home. It was built from the ground up and just a wonderful hang out for the family. My insurance will not cover replacement. Does anyone someone that builds them? I would like to get close to my original which was built by previous owner.

I forgot to change my license address when I moved to Sarasota from North Port. Do I need to drive to North Port to vote or can I do it locally on Election Day? Thank you for your time :-)

A shout-out and HUGE thank you to the people around Hyde Park, Cherokee, SMH hospital.

Y'all made spiderman very happy trick treating today.

We had to call it a night by 7:30 because his trick or treat bucket was so full it broke.

Once again, THANK YOU 🕸🍫🧹🧙‍♀️🪦🦇👻🎃

• Spiderman and fam

Kid decided to go with friends, too cool for parents 🥲 I’ve had a blast here in the past but it’s been awhile so can’t recall if it’s the actual night or over the weekend.. thanks guys! Happy Halloween!

I recently found a missing child leaflet in a box of old belongings of my grandmother that references a Jennifer Lorane (spelling?) Elliot who was kidnapped as a child in the 1980's in south Florida. Just for the fun of it, I searched high and low and could find no reference to this kidnapping anywhere, even when trying alternate spellings of Lorane and Elliot. These findings (or lack thereof) made me wonder if this child ever existed, or was there potentially a child abduction scam going on at the time? The leaflet is from the late 1980's. Can anyone recall a Jennifer Lorane Elliot would today be 46 years old ever having been kidnapped?

Sat at Cattleman and Bee Ridge for 20 minutes in the SB left turn lane, because the signal was cycling like a drunk was in control. We didn't even get a green light SB the whole time.

So, yeah, our professional 'engineers' are hard at it today.

drop your spots and fun to dos

Any recommendations for a car detailing service?

Looking for preschool recommendations. Preferably north Sarasota/lakewood ranch area - thanks!

Had a change of plans today because we have to visit a loved one in the hospital. I don't want my son to miss out on trick or treating and by the time we make it home it will be well after 8pm.

Can anyone recommend a neighborhood close by the hospital that participate in trick or treating? Much appreciated!

I'm considering getting a dash cam after seeing insurance fraud videos. The driving here is insane and so are the people. Florida is full of scammers and shady folks. Not a day goes by that I don't see something completely reckless and idiotic on these roads. Does anyone have one they'd recommend? Has it come in handy?

Recently moved to Sarasota, looking for recommendations on things to do on my days off work :)

Hi! I'm a California resident and am graduating with my associates in sciences soon. I was curious if any of you could give me insight on how difficult it is to get into the SCF nursing program? I have all the classes done that I need to apply. But I'd like to know my chances, lol! Thanks so much :-)

This is hilarious 😂
