Today, I had brunch at C’est La Vie and then went to the beach. The sun was just right and my skin got pink enough. The water’s not warm enough yet. I find it hard to revel in my Sarasota excursions when I want to rip my eyeballs out in traffic. Traffic in this town has never been more terrible. I don’t know what has happened this year, but everything is more… clogged....

Selby Library
Today I went to the library to get a new card. I really can’t tell you the last time I checked out a book. I used to check out books there all the time when I was a kid, even before it had its downtown location. Then I was sucked into the Pine View library, which had books Selby didn’t. I think I still frequented the place though.
I remember when it was brand new. It sparkled and had...

Hey Sarasota,
Stop. Fucking. Raining. I can’t get anything done and I haven’t seen clear skies in a week. Fix your shit.

What to do when it no longer feels like home? What if you fear gaining sea legs again? All you wanted was to make it a place to come back to. Returning is like walking through a graveyard. Memories ebb and flow and you’ve forgotten who you used to be.

Dont swimming pools feel unnatural?
Did you not find love in the moldy corners of the players theater?
Isn’t every late night drive, screaming to pedestrian- barren streets, better than the final destination?
Dont palm trees make your heart sing?
And when salt sticks to your lips and the ends of your hair, dont you enjoy the taste?
My furniture is never the same, it is constantly...

"Sarasota:
You can’t stay, but you don’t want to leave.” -Kylie Fitch
Dear Friends,
As many of us leave for places other than Sarasota soon, and some of us have already left, I think it is time to make this tumblr appear more often in our news feeds. I have taken the liberty of going way back on many of your facebooks to find pictures of Sarasota in all it’s glory. I will be queuing posts so we can get a taste of Sarasota on a regular basis. So here’s to Sarasota, ...

On any given day, you can see the blond, rich, family of four that just moved here from Michigan, ruining the sunset on Siesta Key, to take a family portrait in their “Floridian” white shirts and khaki pants. Shopping is a hobby, because there is nothing else to do. And, the shopping malls, now owned by the Texas-based Westfield, are now overrun by bored-out-of-their-minds preteens...
