The water was about 68 degrees, you can hop in for a few minutes but it gets cold after that pretty quick. I was in Sarasota, SRQ is the airport abbreviation.

Are the waters warm there? What was the average temperature of the beach water when you were there? When were you there - thanksgiving break?
I love that sand - I need to go and walk on white sand. I miss walking on sand. :)

B-Lo near the TOP!!!Category: florida
I was shock to see that Buffalo is #16 on this list of fastest recovering cities and where I currently hanging out is currently #93.
I guess it was a blessing that we didn't base our economy on building condos to provide jobs to non union unskilled labor, real estate whores aka "Flippers" and douchebag loan officers. :-D

Look at some of the other cities on that last. Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany are all on there.
Yup, the fading gems of the rust belt are all recovering. That makes me think their methodology was a little wonky.
Though, seeing genuinely prosperous cities like Omaha and Austin on that list are good signs.

I think you are right. When you are near the bottom, you have less far to fall. Buffalo is a post-industrial economy wasn't attractive to investors looking for short term gain. Some here lamented this. In retrospect, being outside of the prevailing investment trends may have been a good thing.

I was walking back from the establishment on the corner after watching the Bills Game and it occured to me and my Dad.
I don't think I have been passed by so many Mercedes in 5-7 minutes. That's something you don't experience everday even in Williamsville I suppose.
Anyway I'm having a great time hearing my parent's friend conversation with my parents wondering if her ex beach bum boyfriend who blew through a cool milllion literally [ he had some speciality business] and skiped town to Fort Myers [ to persue a dream of being a stand up comedian] $500 check is going to clear the bank. I guess boys don't ever grow up even when they approach 60.
