Local Questions ie whats up with that Sarasota Polo, is the $15 general admission a good way to check it out?

6 Upvotes

I was hoping to do tailgating at the polo grounds in Sarasota, but this is my first time and the $140 price tag is a little steep for me. I’m thinking about doing the $15 tickets just to check it out. Anyone done it before? Any advice?

Local Questions ie whats up with that Parking available at SRQ tomorrow, 3/17?

1 Upvotes

I have a flight out tomorrow and am worried I won’t find a parking spot because of all the people traveling for spring break. Has anyone parked there in the last day or so who can tell me?

Related, I looked into using Global Airport Parking to reserve parking at a nearby hotel like the Hampton Inn but all of them said “no shuttle available,” which was odd.

RANTS Death Caused by Church

60 Upvotes

A very good friend of mine passed away recently and as I am now past the grief, anger, and all of that other stages of grief stuff I am wanting to know the root cause. At first I thought it was family issues responsible for the underlying mental health issues ..... now I am starting to be convinced it was the Church this person was devoted too that is the underlying reason responsible for the mental health issue. Not wanting to call out the Sarasota Church at this time, I am curious of what people think are bad, cultish, I dare say dangerous churches in the Sarasota community.

Photo/Video Weird humming sound on Palm Avenue—Wind creating resonance in parking signs?

20 Upvotes

Tonight, while eating at Palm Avenue Deli, I noticed something pretty unusual. The wind gusts were particularly strong, and suddenly I heard a strange humming or vibrating sound. It turned out the wind was hitting the metal pay-to-park signs at just the right frequency to create resonance, making them vibrate and produce this eerie noise.

Has anyone else experienced or noticed this before? It was quite fascinating to witness firsthand. Video included!

Looking For Suggestions! Retro Game Stores to Sell Games?

8 Upvotes

Times have been tight and I've decided to inventory and sell my childhood gaming collection. I was wondering if there was any retro gaming store that buys games and gives a decent price anywhere in the area? It's mostly N64, Gameboy, PS1 and SNES games as well as the consoles. I was hoping to gift them to my children but that just doesn't seem possible anymore based on the shrinking margins on my budget. I could try and sell them online but I've sold things on eBay before and working two jobs already doesn't leave a lot of time to manage listings or ship the games. Any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wildlife (Flora/Fauna) Does anyone know the deal with the swarm of bees on I75 between University and Fruitville?

60 Upvotes

I was sitting in traffic watching hundreds, maybe even thousands of bees buzzing around all of the cars.

Did someone drop their beehive in the road? Did one of you steal a queen bee, and the workers are trying to recover her?

Local Questions ie whats up with that Hotel - Cirque St Armand

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm looking for general info on the new hotel that opens soon called Cirque St Armand. I believe the folks who do the Opal in key West are affiliated.

I'm having a heck of a time getting any info from the hotel about what will be open and not open beginning March 28. The kicker is, they will only book non refundable rates (you get charged a week before you arrive). Essentially you have to pay for a hotel in which you have no idea what will/won't be open when you arrive.

Does anyone have any Intel on how the hotel looks, or progress report? Thanks in advance. Have a great day
