I live here at Citrus Square just north of Fruitville Road, I'm about two
blocks to city hall,
three or four blocks to main street.
What I really love about being here is that i can walk everywhere.
Most of the time my car sits in the driveway
and I want to work, which is just two blocks over to the west,
and it allows me to get just about anywhere. In fact, I can go downstairs
and get breakfast. I can get dinner. I can buy a bottle of wine ago. I can go across the street,
get a newspaper, get a coffee.
ARLENE: Here I think it's really becoming vibrant here
and and we're getting good partnerships with other folks, businesses that are here
in the community really excited about it.
ARTHUR: I love this neighborhood, the camaraderie of the small business owners is great.
The neighborhood's on the edge, it's coming around nicely.There's renovations going on
in the neighborhood and it's really really cool.
TIM: I choose north of Fruitville area because of it's because of this
architectural history. There's a lot of old buildings that haven't been
knocked down and rebuilt so we love pioneering
kind of the off the other side of the tracks kind of thing because really with
the other side of the tracks, I say that across from Fruitville,
is that the artists arrive down here,
they plan to make their spaces down here, my wonderful restaurants I go to
everyday, such as Stations 400, Darwin's, Derek's.
We have a Design Within Reach, which is very nice, because I love
contemporary architecture and contemporary paintings.
MICHAEL: I couldn't actually be happier to be north of Fruitville
I've always been on the other side of the tracks, kind of the off beat,
more of a Soho kind of guy.
and I love it here!
JIM: We love being North of Fruitville,
in this Citrus Square Building.
It's a French
design building.
The architects love it so much, they live upstairs. There are twenty condominiums,
and there are retail shops at street level, so it's a really wonderful walking experience.
JEFF: We're proud to be here,
as part of this area.
It's up and coming. We've got Darwin and some great restaurants round.
It's really starting to happen here we hope to be an integral part of it.
ERIC: So, we're happy to be here.
Off the beaten path a little bit but we prefer that.
DARWIN: I believe that North of Fruitville is going to be the nest upcoming, new
neighborhood in Sarasota.
We are in downtown,
But we are north of Fruitville.
we are going to call it NOF.
We have great,
great restaurants around us, we have a great breakfast place right next to us.
We have great restaurants next to us, great shops.
And I think a lot of people, in the next year, it's going to become more popular.
People investing their money around our restaurant.
So watch out,
NOF is going to be a great neighborhood.
