Sarasota firefighters for every month!
Could I get any luckier?! At my talk at the Sarasota Democratic Club event a week ago, one of my readers and all-round great guy around town, showed up to hear me talk, but also presented me with a present from Sarasota firefighters — who had read my column about the “Monsters of Midtown” in […]

Oh, come on, tell me the answer — is it love or lust?
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for lovers …
