Save Our Sarasota™. Preserving Sarasota's quality of life. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Circus Recognition in Sarasota. If you know about Sarasota, you know about our circus heritage. Recently two events happened that highlight this heritage. An Historical Marker was unveiled at the home of the Wallenda family. This plaque is on Arlington near the intersection with Orange. If you get the chance stop by and take a look. Sarasota has a unique connection to the circus and these events remind us of this.

Save Our Sarasota™. Preserving Sarasota's quality of life. Sunday, May 18, 2008. Cutting down nature to save nature. Here is a nice large pine tree in Laurel Park. It no longer exists. Seems the developer of the property has a plan for a house with solar panels on the roof. The pine tree was deemed to be a hiderance as it would shade the solar panel. Removal was the only option. Thus nature was cut down and removed so we could save the planet. A similar action in California. Sunday, May 04, 2008.

http://saveoursarasota.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Save Our Sarasota™. Preserving Sarasota's quality of life. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. New College Building a Public Archeological Lab. On March 8, 2010 New College began construction of an archeological lab to allow a hands on learning experience of the processes of finding, identifying and cataloging local artifacts. While the Sarasota area has a somewhat brief recorded history, we have a very long history of settlement by man – going back 10,000 years or so. And then the shovels turn the dirt.
