U.T.C.

 The University Town Abomination  Centre has become the retail powerhouse of the Sarasota/Bradenton area.


Great for LWR people  (especially in the southern end); and for people in Palm Aire, and northern Sarasota  (where I live), etc.


Not so good for people in south Sarasota, Siesta Key, LBK etc.


Trader Joe's is opening there, on the Bradenton side near Total Wine.

Flemings is opening there too.


I got to UTC for Zion's Grooming, for Total Wine, for Kohl's, and for Best Buy.

Mote Marine is building a huge Aquarium, just to the south of the big Mall building -  on the east side of Cattlemen.


The University Town Abomination is not one of my favourite places.

I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
