Be sure to bring a camera. Also walk along the INNER part

RINGLING's and other Circus names.
Our favorite place to eat is The Columbia Restaurant.......
...it is directly ON the circle (roundabout) on NE corner....
right where CR 789 heads North toward Longboat Key and
Anna Maria Island.
This is LESS than 6 miles from The Ringling Home and Museums.
Also... if you continue straight on John Ringling Blvd.....
make a LEFT (South) on Benjamin Franklin Drive.....some mighty nice beach
will be on your Right......
...if you continue to end of Ben Franklin Dr....there is a park (no beach)...
watch the sailboats and look across to Siesta Key.
