Sarasota History - Photo Journey - (View in 720P HD & Full Screen)

A look back at the beautiful town of Sarasota, FL through vintage postcards and photos. I've been collecting these postcards and images for the past ten years and thought it was time to share them with all. Sarasota is a sister city to Hamilton, Province of Ontario, Canada; Perpignan, France; Vladimir, Russia; Tel Mond, Israel; Dunfermline, Scotland, Treviso, Italy and Siming District, Xiamen, China. The historical story of Sarasota, FL can be found here www.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarasota,_Florida .

By the way, one request; my favorite. Old and new photos of people at work. I saw one selling "live shrimps". One way to make a living..

Some collection you must have. My hometown in Norway is the sister city of Fargo ND, after watching your postcards, i almost wish it was Sarasota.. Keep up the good work!
