The “Old Florida” Feel of Anna Maria Island
Beachside dining at the Sandbar Restaurant in Anna Maria
By Kitty Bean Yancey – USA Today
Unlike similar sunset celebrations in Florida tourist meccas such as Key West, there are no rowdy crowds, wall-to-wall bars or panhandlers. Also absent on Anna Maria are high-rise condos and chain hotels. You’ll have to drive off-island for a McDonald’s or Starbucks fix.
“We’ve been all over Florida, but we love Anna Maria Island because it’s so oldy-worldy,” says Glynis Bayles of England, who is here with her husband, Robert, a retiree.

Local Home Sales Surge
By Duane Marsteller – dmarsteller@bradenton.com
MANATEE — The federal government played Santa Claus for local Realtors last month, delivering an early Christmas gift: A boon in business.
Sales of existing single-family homes and condominium units in the Sarasota/Bradenton market and the rest of Florida surged last month, fueled by a federal tax credit for home buyers and low prices, according to statistics released Tuesday.
Local Realtors sold 784 single-family homes in November, up 63 percent from the 482 they sold in November 2008, the Florida Association of Realtors reported. Local condo sales more than doubled, from 104 units sold in November 2008 to 239 sold last month.
