From Tampa Bay watching after hurricane Milton wishing all my southern Floridians much love 2024 and beyond

Ive lived here all my life and grew up at Lido beach, I was the last kid to swim in the pool before it was closed in 1969 and also the first kid to go back in it, when it reopened. Still have both newspaper articles with my pics, diving off the board.

Nice Song!

I am homeless, In Sarasota.. getting burned by the sun in 2023. Hour after hour it gets warmer and warm, i am considering getting some more… panhandling by the sea.

I’m in search of archived film of sarasota. Do you know were I can start looking?

Just checked this out today

I was here when this video was made crazy

How about the facedown chapline marker? Doesn't list her on the genealogy of the graveyard.

Just saw this on PBS

Bring it back

Ian will tell you that history repeats its self!

Extraordinario 😘

Thank you so much great video. Didn't know hardly any of this. I lived there from age 4 and grew up there. And I love Sarasota. We always went to the Ringling museum on field trips. Don't know how many times I've been there with the school. I'm sure half a dozen

Muy lindo sarasota fl

NOW OWNED BY THE SKATERS

I thought there was a line , Mile after Mile I love it more and more I just adore that Lido shore. Went to Lido every April for a week or two , drove down from Massachusetts. My grandfather rented a room downtown. We would rent a cottage across from the beach. Too bad there are no pictures of the casino and pool and the towers If I were rich I would have a Winter home there and a Summer home in York Beach ME. my two favorite places . Went to Morrisons (I believe) for dinner.

And Mr Kautz math teacher...drove a yellow karmann ghia....totally cool!!

They had summer sessions where we would hang out in the cafetorium and then go on a school bus to Sun-N-Fun for swimming lessons and arts&crafts. Gave our moms a much-needed break I guess haha! I earned a life-saver certificate at the pool!

I did 1st thru 5th grade here...1963 to 1968. I remember the JFK assassination announced while in Mrs Lottridge's classroom. Third grade I had Tilly Coe. Fourth grade L.L.Parker

What a voice. Its so calming wtf (sorry for the language)

I just heard today that they are shutting down permanently due to COVID restrictions and Amendment 2. Sad to see them go, but not unpredictable.

Graduated 5th grade at Southside in '91 !! Best playground in the city at the time lol

In 1954, my mother was definitely having fun in Sarasota, www.heraldtribune.com/news/20180202/his-mother-only-woman-to-ever-escape-sarasota-county-jail?fbclid=IwAR0sEynamXw1MOuJVkyHYkD-LxEUBj7vk6qMV8WN2PPT0iWFWGxoIa883uI

Just left there not two hours ago.

And did anything happen with this?

Gimme some SMAK Mac.

Maybe locations (street names) would be nice?

I go to school here

I was born and raised here.

You forgot to mention the trailer park it used to be .

I lived in Sarasota during the 1950s (from the age of 8 to 13) and practically lived on Lido Beach. I have very fond memories of the beach and casino. I have a few photos with my mom and brother on the beach there. Thanks to all who worked to preserve the memories of the Lido Beach Casino.

This is a great page!

What a great video!

My grandmother was a Smack’s Girl. I have the cutest picture of her in that same outfit and saddle oxfords. Thanks to this video, I now know what the “S” was for, as the rest of the restaurant name isn’t in the photo.

Are there any Smack's in operation still today?

I lived in Topeka as a child and the Smack's I remember was located near White Lakes Mall and they had red drinking straws.

Who knew...Sarasota has there own song. My, how things have changed here. Still the best place in Florida to live.

This song was played at closing time every night at a "hole-in-the-wall" gay bar called Stingers located on the NW corner of 1st and Central. After "last call" and you knew it was time to duck out before all of the overhead lights would be switched on. Stingers was located in downtown - walking distance from the other gay bar called "The Upper Deck". Back in the early 80's when I was newly "out" at the age of 16 with my older brother's New College ID as insurance if I got carded. The building was demolished in the mid-90's, sadly. I still have a couple of packs of match books I saved. The phone number listed on the cover of the match book is: 366-5878. No area code needed to be dialed for local calls in those days.

Why do the Northamercan commentaries seem to come from a homosexual? They all do and it does make for a good comeback. It also dimishes the value of the documentary.

No newspaper would tell the truth about a real estate money maker - storms don't care about weather reports.

we? so how old are you?

At 1:08 that's my spouse's mom holding the tupperware!

i'am looking for where I come from maybe I can be help calvinwilson

We occasionally played it on WSPB 1450AM.

Thanks for the tour. The first grave stone shown at 0:12, Martha Margaret Yarbrough was my great-grandmother.

Tony, Bob and Paul... this ones for you!

I lived there in 1965. Great apts.Dr Webster bought it later on

I go to school there!!

Visited the Casino many times during Lido Biltmore stays as a kid. Still go to Lido Beach every year - the guys at the current snack bar make an awesome cheeseburger!

Great video!
