City Pier (part 2)

Today, many people look at the Marina Jack restaurant and boat docks and think they have always been here. Not so...They are just beyond where the Scots landed and built our first pier. It wasn't much at first, and it has evolved over the years to become the park and marina we have today.

Very well done. You can almost smell the waterfront, the salt air and hear the traffic of US 41. I well remember City Pier and in fact I worked for the City of Sarasota during the time that Island Park was constructed and actually worked on the island construction. Thanks for the memories.
