The most boring place in the world for the young, fabulous, and broke. For anyone who doesn't live here, I'm sure that Sarasota seems like a beautiful and wonderful place to vacation. But living here sucks. Basically, this is where rich, snotty old farts come to die. And irritate the hell out of the locals.
On any given day, you can see the blond, rich, family of four that just moved here from Michigan, ruining the sunset on Siesta Key, to take a family portrait in their "Floridian" white shirts and khaki pants. Shopping is a hobby, because there is nothing else to do. And, the shopping malls, now owned by the Texas-based Westfield, are now overrun by bored-out-of-their-minds preteens with Daddy's credit cards in their hot little hands. Buisnesses that have thrived here for 30-plus years are being driven out by greedy speculators. Every other home is for sale, with no one buying them, because the real estate bubble burst. I guess millionares don't feel like purchasing a home on Siesta Key, where driving one block on Memorial Day weekend takes four hours, and you are more likely to have your homeowners insurance taken away than a dog getting fleas. Then, once you're done playing the "hunker-down" drinking game during the latest hurricane, you can go to Walmart for the sixth time this week. The best thing about Sarasota is that is easy to spot tourists. Tourists, if you're at the beach, are the ones who bring two giant coolers, a giant bag of sandcastle building tools, a huge umbrella or tent, and about ten bottles of suntan lotion. And they do this to be at the beach for an hour. Outside of Siesta, they're the ones yelling at waitresses, cashiers, and just about everyone else in the service industry. Then they drive 30 miles an hour on US-41, and call it Tamiami Trail, to go for ice cream on St. Armands circle. They take pictures of the "art" that blocks the view of Marina Jack, without realising that the boats anchored in the bay are inhabited by people whom are considered homeless. Sarasota is the most segregated county in all of Florida, and the city planners are trying desperately to push out anyone who doesn't make at least 100K a year. But then again, they are too busy designing parking lots that are only easily navigated by the secret service.
Hell's waiting room.
I should invest in a funeral home in Sarasota.

and where I went to school for kicks:

A!
Had the spaniards known that it would be this bad, they would have bgone bak to Spain.
Boca raton= A bunch of people pretending to be stars and rich. Hey, I have news for them Alot of the wealthy people walking around don't need to brag and proselytize. They know they have money and therefore don't have to announce. Boca has a bunch of self entitled whining brats who grow up to be bimbos. Thank god they are concentrated in just this area- otherwise the it might be the end of Western civilization.
Guy drives up to restaurant in a re porsche. Girl( with fake boobs, lips and louis vuitton) sees him and runs out to the parking lot. Wants to have a drink with him, Has a drink , goes back to this apartment and guess what- the porsche is a leased car and he lives in a tiny room. Classic boca raton living right there!
the mouth of the rat, as coined by spaniard explorers. midsized, concrete and generally peach in color. lacking culture and proper allotment of wealth. featuring many homeless newspaper salesmen and many painfully wealthy and jaded retirees. has a kabballah center, and quite a lot of temples and churches, but no mosques. predominantly comprised of former northerners, usually new yorkers, and is one of the jewish capitals of the US. also a fair share of hispanics, i suppose. but pales in comparison to miami, of course. has many bakeries. located in southern florida near deerfield and del ray.
You could just pass through Boca Raton, we're late anyway.
