I'll tell you the honest truth and some of my blog friends to the north might not like it. It's been absolutely gorgeous here recently, especially in the evening. We endure the sultry, humid summers and the possibility of devastating hurricanes for nights like this. I was driving through Southside Village near downtown Sarasota when I saw these folks sitting outside in short sleeves in January. They happened to be enjoying happy hour at Legends Sports Pub, which had TVs outside and had all but done away with the windows. The first time I encountered an open structure similar to this was in Acupulco years ago. I fell in love with the concept instantly. I couldn't resist the warm sea breeze...and I still can't. Now, to answer the question everyone is pondering....no, I did not partake in one of the 30 beers on tap. Unfortunately, I cannot drink beer. Otherwise, I would have bellied up and this blog may have suffered the consequences. Instead, I ventured home and went for a stroll without my camera or a coat.
