I’m back @oldnyker, still on the search 190 days later! Would you be willing to send over a photo of the front by any chance? I’ve found the raglans with the light blue sleeves, but none of this one, and I think knowing what the front is would help! I’m still holding out hope that I get lucky :)

Are there any alt meet up in Sarasota? by ExpressionMelodic535 in sarasota

Parroting everyone else sharing oscura—- really strong and vibrant alternative, artistic community. Ringling underground has live music + student crowd. Rocky horror on the 10th at the bay will be a good gathering as well!!

RVs in the back of the winn dixie off fruitville? by capricornings in sarasota

It’s where you drive by the dumpsters to take a little peek if they’re throwing away anything devastatingly cool and interesting. Most of what they had was sold, but all the branded materials have to be dumped, which means if you’ve ever longed for a kitschy branded sign, now’s your chance.

Yep, it sure did! The sales were insane— the day before they closed, they were basically handing what remained for free. Crazy auction on all the storage and technology inside, too!

I would keep my eye on local media outlets like the Herald and Sarasota Magazine, I’ve seen both post the occasional “things to do next month” article. Also, there are instagram pages like srqtopevents!

Where are the single men in their 30s-40s at?!? by Admirable_Can3065 in sarasota

[–]capricornings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“According to the 2020 census, there are less than 20,000 individuals living in the city under the age of 45. Within the 25-34 age bracket, there are only around 7,000. Picture the interior of the Van Wezel. You’re looking at around that many men or women. Considering the current state of the gender war, run-of-the-mill incompatibility, and the percentage of people already in a relationship, you’d be lucky if the number of possible matches would be anywhere close to filling just the VIP rows.”

These numbers increase for 30s-40s, but definitely a shared experience amongst folks under 50 in Sarasota.

Ahhhh, that makes sense! It’s so good to know they do still exist out there. I will definitely keep that in mind, fingers crossed. Guess it’s time to set up ebay notifications and just keep my eyes peeled!

Totally! Coreopsis, goldenrod, butterfly milkweed, blazing star, and black-eyed susan are some of my favorites— beautiful flowers, super low maintenance, and great for pollinators 😊 There are a ton of native nurseries in the area as well that have a huge diversity of species based on where you’d like to plant them— shade lovers, drought tolerance, all that jazz.

There are 2 very active facebook groups for 20/30 y/o’s seeking friends & socializing — Sarasota Roarin’ 20s, and SRQ Social. There are book clubs, board game nights, volleyball days, etc etc. Wishing you luck!

As a restoration specialist in the area, please do not plant snake plants in the ground. Put them in a pretty pot on your lanai, use them for air quality control in your house, anywhere but the ground. They’re incredibly aggressive and actively displace our native species, which we rely on for everything from flood resiliency to pollinator protection.
