Downtown Action

On a bright note, the 1926 Sarasota Times building on First is featured in Harold Bubil's Blog - link on the right. The exterior restoration looks absolutely wonderful. The interior is waiting for the imagination of a new buyer.

You can see exterior and interior pictures at Ian Black's website.

Also check Joe Moraca's blog: a "hot off the press" picture of this AM's Farmers Market, and comment about the Downtown Partnership position on a Conference Center. We expect Conference Center discussions to continue even the bayfront location has been nixed. New Commissioner Shelin has indicated a preference for downtown, but a developer is pushing hard for the fairgrounds site. Save Our Sarasota still wonders about the need and benifits of a Conference Center and we would like significant private investment if it is to happen.
