👏 'PromoSM'
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
My boys want to sign up for soccer again in Fall, but I told him I am concerned it's way too hot. Evening games would be much preferred. The second round of morning games are entirely too hot.
We have no curbs all along our corner property and experience regular street flooding even during light rain and for days on end until the rain water evaporates. An additional problem is that the street isn't properly graded which prohibits water from running down to the corner sewer. We issued a complaint to the City of Sarasota four+ years ago and their response was, "NO HAZARD." Must the neighborhood wait for a HAZARD?! Shameful! And, we all pay high property taxes and flood insurance premiums.
GREAT JOB,GLAD TO BE A PART OF TELLING THIS STORY;thanks.
