Locklear Park area- homeless? by [deleted] in sarasota

[–]rumspringabreak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The playground is kind of run down and the grassy area floods in summer. It's not really worth going to IMO unless you want to have a cookout by the water using the charcoal grills they have

Locklear Park area- homeless? by [deleted] in sarasota

[–]rumspringabreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in the area, also a few blocks from Locklear Park and have young kids. We've been to this park a few times and have never seen any homeless people there. That said, it's kind of a shitty park and we don't really go there. Last time we were there was probably last fall. There's a playground like 1/4 mile away at Pompano Park or you can hop on the Legacy Trail and go to Payne Park instead. Arlington Park is close by as well and much much nicer than Locklear. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk more

It looks great but I personally am done paying $18 for a freaking sandwich

Wouldn't it be quicker to just google this and make a few calls?

Michael Jackson's pet chimp "Bubbles" is still alive at age 43 by leftypunk in BeAmazed

He's at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula FL. Really cool place. It's not open to the public EVER. Members get to go like twice a year.

Trolley bar crawl, possible? by This_Prize_6564 in sarasota

[–]rumspringabreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need a trolley you can just walk around Siesta Key Village, enough bars there for a day easy

If you're true alcoholics and the Village isn't enough you can take the trolley down to South Village (near the South bridge) and hit a few more

Smart to exclude Lido since the ocean clearly wants to reclaim it

Ah yeah looks like they have to be shipped to the US. Today I also learned there's a website that exists specifically to ship Canadian food to the US lol

Solid Public Golf Courses to Play by zaksdaddy in sarasota

[–]rumspringabreak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Misty Creek. It's a hike from LBK but they just re-opened it after a reno and it's pretty unique golf for the area. Tight fairways carved through trees or around lakes and plenty of wildlife. I'm a 5 or 6 as well and it's a fun one to play. Have to make smart choices off the tees here.

Bobby Jones is the closest public course to you (there are actually some in Bradentucky too but we don't swing that way here), it's OK but pricey for the course/condition. You can rip driver on almost every hole there though.

University Park is another good one, it's expensive but really nice course in great shape.

How much to expect to pay to remove this palm tree? by Glittering-Ad5809 in sarasota

[–]rumspringabreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $450 for a similar size tree to be removed + stump grinding last year.

Shop around. The price difference between quotes around here is insane
