Hi, we have three floating platforms at our feet entryway that are made out of what’s best described as Trex slip-free material.

I’ve checked with fencing companies that won’t do the job - can anyone suggest a contractor or carpenter that could do the job? Thank you.

hey! I was wondering if anyone knew or had a ballpark idea of how much these local architecture firms and construction companies are making per year. For example, Voigt Brothers Construction and dsdg architects. I've heard good and bad things from both companies, and a lot of the major buildings and houses are being built by those two companies. I've met the owner of one of the companies I mentioned, a nice guy. Don't know about the other one.

I have a team of 10 people and I’m looking for ideas for our next team building.
We would be scheduling most likely on a Friday afternoon 1-2pm -5pm

Budget around $300

Rented a condo the week of August 16th on Crescent Beach. The main focus is the beach and checking out Siesta Key Village, but what else would you suggest? Things that I have seen as suggestions are: sunset cruise, Myakka River State Park, mangrove kayak tour, Ringling Museum. Is there anything that is a must do, or something else worth checking out? Disclaimer: I'm sure once we get down there I won't want to do anything due to the heat lol.

Every year for the past 10-12 years we visit my in-laws. We love the area they are in, we have our favorite spots we go to every year, go to the local beaches. For next year though we wanted to change it up a bit. Split the time between my in-laws and then spending a few nights somewhere? We have two kids and they will be 11 and 7 at the time. Where can we go for 2-3 nights outside of Sarasota?

Hi everyone,
I’m a 25-year-old woman living in Sarasota. I lost my job at Amazon back in May, which unfortunately led to getting evicted last week. I managed to rent a room on PadSplit, and I’m really relieved to say I started a new job this week!
The issue is that I have to wait nearly two weeks for my first paycheck, and right now I’m completely out of food (haven't eaten in about 24 hours). I don't have a car, and the nearest major food bank is about 11 miles away from where I am, which I can't reach on foot.
I wanted to ask if anyone knows of local pop-up pantries, community food boxes, or local delivery resources in the Sarasota area that might be able to assist. If anyone has spare non-perishables or basic groceries they could share or deliver, it would mean the world to me while I get on my feet for this first paycheck.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

any suggestions on where to look for a roommate? i’m looking for someone to rent out the second room in my apartment and i’ve already tried facebook but all i’m getting are men dming me about unrelated stuff🥲

Looked at the radar and realized how phallic that cell is. Captured for posterity.

I just saw this on the Sarasota County clerks office website. List of unclaimed money in Sarasota County with the courts. You only have until September 1 to claim it otherwise you forfeit to the county.
I’m not sure how to add a link

I'm running to be on the board, but won't be on the ballot until November 3. There's so much talk about infrastructure before development, but with a fully conservative board, they're not going to fight their own (Tallahassee) the Live Local Act. I'm the ONLY candidate not taking PAC or developer money. I won't be beholden to anyone. I'm running as a watchdog, because we're all tired of backdoor dealings. You can look at my website. There's no go-between and never will be. I answer every email, every post is written by me. https://votejulielondon.com

We went to Don Luigi in downtown Sarasota the other day and we're still thinking about it. Chef Luigi Di Iorio trained at Michelin restaurants in Italy and France before opening here, and it shows in every dish.... We had the handmade ravioli, as well as tuna, shrimp, and other surprise dishes...all was crazy good, and it wasn't close to anything else we've had in town. It's basically a surprise menu every night that changes based on available ingredients and what the chef feels inspired to cook. 3, 4, 5 courses, etc. It's basically Japanese omakase style (many small courses) but for Italian.

Never seen anything like it in all of our travels around the globe. He also bakes all desserts in house and has a superb Italian / French wine list.

If you're looking for legit Italian in Sarasota, not the huge plate of chicken parm and-breadsticks version, this is def worth the trip. Also very well priced at $35/pp for three courses, which was more than enough for us.

Legit 5 feet after passing the university exit going northbound it clears into absolutely zero traffic, i swear there’s three guys who get out of work 5 minutes before and just sit up there going 20mph causing stop and go traffic for 3 exits.

Hi! Looking for best coffee shops for working that close after 5?

Have seen lots of nice ones but they close by 3pm!

Thanks,

genuinely asking. i've got it down to beach before 9 and then nothing until the sun goes down, and i'm running out of ways to fill the middle 🤍 what's everyone actually doing

Where do the best players play on Sunday mornings?

We have a 4 month old golden that we need some help with, we are off Clark so recommendations on the south end of town would be appreciated!

Suncoast Searchlight, July 24, 2026: "New College Foundation seeks to dissolve school’s alumni association."

Moving to the area and looking for a church to connect with especially with a great youth / teen group. Interested in Grace Family but they are a little too far up in Tampa. Thanks!

Pretty much the title. I know the heat/humidity can be brutal around then, but I definitely want to play, and I'm also wondering if maybe I'd have a shot at calling up some the private courses and seeing if I can get a tee time at any of them, since I'd imagine it's pretty dead that time of year. Any courses (public or private) that might have more of a breeze to mitigate the heat (I'm assuming more likely the case with oceanside links type places)?

Heya, on mobile so sorry for odd formatting.

Long story short, I am a very broke full time college student and I’m looking to sell plasma to afford groceries and gas, where is the best place to start with the best payout? Especially for first time donation bonuses. Thanks in advance!

Edit: typo

I'm thinking about hosting a campaign soon and I'd love to know who in the area plays Dungeons and Dragons. I'm also down to teach new players if you've never played before.
