These libs might have better luck with opening something like this in the city limits of Sarasota to the south. Slowly, the City of Sarasota is starting to turn into a lib enclave in a generally more conservative SW Florida. The libs in Sarasota tend to be of the limousine liberal variety. By contrast, during the recent voting broohaha caused by the Jennings vs. Buchannen congressional race a TV newsman from outside the area referred to Bradenton as “middle class at best.”

If they run a fund-raiser, the first thing they should buy is a clue.

Alas, though, the task of saving Fogartyville is bigger than it seems. For starters, Sweeting and Beaton are ready to move on, to forge ahead with WSLR 96.5 FM and a fledgling nonprofit group, the PEACE Center, that hopes to make "peace education" part of the public school curriculum. THIS is the real danger. HEADSUP people!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the DUmbasses could have a fundraiser.....that's the problem, these folks don't have any funds.
What is interesting to me is how important symbols are to these people over substance. They can have their little hippie get-togethers in someone's (parents)garage just the same as they can in this building.

You mean the purple cow?
I lived in Sarasota for 7 years
It is a great little city. It is full of artsy fartsy types, hippies, weirdos, because of the college and the Ringling ,but also very conservative for the most part
The people in Bradenton just need to move the Fogartyville Cafe to Sarasota, there are more than enough rich liberal moonbats to keep the place alive

I lived there from 1990 to 1997. I still visit once in a while
Back in 1973 it must have been a sleepy little town still.
Even in 1990, during off season they pretty much rolled the sidewalks up at dusk
The grocery stores were closed on Sunday, too

Thanks. Sarasota is not lacking with these kinds of liberal "havens".
Surprised the downtown Sarasota art hippy freaks aren't staging some sort of protest to keep this establishment. Seems like they exist for situations like this.
As someone above mentioned, yes there are plenty of liberal moonbats in Sarasota that would see this as a good cause.
