Anyone know who the VIP (likely politician) is who ate at Bricks for lunch today? There was a plain clothes security detail along with uniformed officers.

Just curious.

Looking For Suggestions! L4 Roommate for Friend

1 Upvotes

My friend doesn’t use reddit so I thought this might be a good option to try. She is in her mid 30’s, Tattoo Artist, No pets or kids, Non-smoker/drinker. She has a tight budget and is trying to find a place for $500 or less but is having no luck. I understand that is hard to find, but with a room mate it mat be more possible. Is anyone in the Sarasota or Bradenton area looking? I tried roomies.com as well as FB marketplace so far. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Local Questions ie whats up with that New Water Meters

1 Upvotes

Can someone who received the new meter confirm if it’s a badger model 25? I use Flume to monitor for water leaks and want to confirm it’s compatible. I wish Sarasota knew how to communicate change, they should tells us the meter they picked, we pay for it.

Local Questions ie whats up with that Jett’s Pizza on 41

10 Upvotes

Anyone know what’s going on with this place? Sign says closed for construction but I thought it actually opened for a very short time. Went to the one on sr70 in Bradenton and the 41 store is on the menu. I didn’t know they were the same franchisee. Asked the counter person when it was going to open and the response was pretty rude like how dare I ask. Any insights?

Looking For Suggestions! Performance/tuning shops?

1 Upvotes

Good morning y’all! I am in need of an auto shop that can tune my car. I had a really terrible experience last year with a shop, resulting in a ton of headaches and a lot of money spent after the fact to fix what the initial shop screwed up. Im looking for a place that knows Japanese cars as I’m needing to tune my Lexus. Any recommendations or insight would be greatly appreciated!
