From Slums to High Rises in Sarasota...

Sarasota was built with the premise of a two class system. Those money and prosperous and those working under blur collar wages to support them.
As I watch the high rises, Businesses such as Whole Foods, the very well dressed, the folks walking their dogs at Five Points I wonder...
Do these prosperous folk ever look from their Ivory towers down to look down at the projects, Salvation Army street people. Do they feel any sense of discomfort from their wealthy shelves and bank accounts. And whom would be willing to help the poverty stricken.
With Sarasota's Anti Lodging Ordinance in place do these moneyed elite notice the homeless drifting with their back packs not knowing where they will sleep tonight? Or are they proof positive that money buys ignorance ans well as influences Lobbies, PACs and Law Makers...
Who will offer a homeless person a nights lodging at the Salvation Army and go pay for it so the money does not turn into Crack or Alcohol?
Or buy a lunch at Mickey D's and pass it along to a hungered and worn street person?
Ever offer a jacket or sweater on a chilly day? Or a blanket or an old sleeping bag for a cold winter's night/
I ponder these things always. And plan on finding out through ONESARASOTA just whom will help.

Want a room at Sarasota's Salvation Army tonight?

Sarasota's Salvation Army aka Sally has 1.5 inch thick cots to sleep on for your pleasure this evening. Sally, a Fortune 500 BUSINESS charges a mere $10 per evening for a cot and use of it's three bathrooms, two showers and ambiance of course!
Enjoy the fine view of Sarasota's new high rises just blocks away!
Dine the next morning of doughnuts and week coffee for no extra charge!
A street person whom works @ Day Labor makes on average fifty six dollars per day.
Fifty six minus ten for Sally is forty six. And not much money to pull ones self up by ones boot straps!
Did I mention that Sally opens it's doors free on rain nights? But on the cold, dry blustery days of winter. Or the wearying, decaying hot months of summer...$10.00 per night...
Give it a try. Then count your blessings as you adjust your AC with heat no less and thank the Universe for your pay check!
