St Armands Circle Association

The beach here is great and the street performers were taken for granted(canceled), but the mistake was acknowledged and one of my favorites is allowed back. 1 star changed to 4 pending 5 this place is a great place hopefully the "association" continues to act decent to people.

UPDATE - my rating has changed from one star to five stars! ORIGINAL REVIEW ….We came down from Tampa to St Armands Circle to find out where Dovydas was playing his street music and returned a second time on a Tuesday September 4th to watch his performance. This was when several other street musicians ere also playing in other locations around the circle. Both times we patronized local establishments and also had food and beverages. After seeing the Association put a stop to his performing i have to wonder if all the performers received the cease notice or Dovydas was just being singled out and treated differently than the rest? The night we were there people our age 71 and 66 as well as younger adults and children of all ages were having a great time enjoying his performance. Because of St.Armand’s business associations actions we will probably not be visiting any time in the future. It’s a shame with everything going on in the word that actions this group has taken put a stop to people of all ages and race no longer being able to enjoy Dovydas playing his music at St.Armands Circle . Shame on your Association! Mike and Nancy , Riverview, Fl……………….UPDATE………………..Dovydas had a meeting with the Sarasota city commissioner and the director of the St.Armands Business association and they all agreed that Dovydas should have the same opportunity to perform and entertain residents and visitors alike. All parties above look forward to future performances and Dovydas will now be playing in the center of St. Armands circle rather than the neptune statue. Bring lawn chairs or something to sit on. SEE YOU THERE!
