Where Did the Elephants in Burns Court Square Go?

Word on the street is one of the elephants is preggers! But don't worry, the family of elephants isn't moving to the Sarasota suburbs just yet.

Zimmerman Sighting

Keeping up with George Zimmerman’s coming and goings seems to become a pastime for some. In the weeks since a Florida court found him not guilty in the 2012 death of Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman’s whereabouts has made headlines. Most recently, he was spotted outside of Dallas when a police officer pulled him over for speeding. That sighting, like one before it in Orlando, made headlines.

What do you think about all the hoopla surrounding Zimmerman? Is it time to leave him alone?

A Little Rain May Fall

With a 40 percent chance of afternoon storms, it’s a safe bet that bringing an umbrella along today is a good idea. The National Weather Service says storms are more likely in the afternoon and evening hours. Some of them might be strong with heavy winds, so do be careful out there!

Buccaneer Bag Brouhaha

Heading to Raymond James Stadium to catch the Buccaneers or the University of South Florida Bulls in action this fall? Be sure to stock up on the latest in sports fashion – a clear plastic bag.

Beginning Aug. 8, the stadium will no longer allow fans to bring in backpacks, large purses and other bags that could conceal weapons.

Allowed totes include:

• Clear plastic, PVC or vinyl bags that aren’t bigger than 12-by-6-by12 inches
  
• A one-gallon (or smaller) clear plastic bag – think Ziploc
  
• Small clutch bags that aren’t bigger than 4.5-by-6.5 inches.
  

Good idea?
