Great 3 storey bookstore, high humidity, Ringling Bros museum, nicer than Tampa, not as nice as Bradenton, and good biker bars and organic farming just north of Sarasota in Manatee County, a little slower there and more replete with cross cultural opportunities and real estate investments. St. Armond's Circle better yet for the affluent, and further up the keyes to Anna Maria are more foreigners of German and French, wonderful beaches and the old artist's colony on Anna Maria. Enough work consoling inconsolable and wealthy widows, and a bunch of gamblers, at the treatment center four blocks from the apartment on the beach I rent occasionally. We could do a sorabji Christmas thang there...
