Sarasota at a glance.
The early Sarasota owes much of its development to the Ringling Brothers of Circus fame. In the 1920's, it became known as an artist's colony, with schools and famous citizens representing music, dance, theatre, and visual arts. The real estate market was booming in the last five years, but speculators and newcomers drove prices skyhigh. The market has declined lately, as investors try to off load their properties.
