Neptune statue feels the love

Clearly, Unconditional Surrender isn't the only smooching sculpture in town. 

This weekend on St. Armands Circle, the Sarasota Observer spotted the statue of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea who’s only second in power to Jupiter, with a sign of affection: a dark red kiss mark on his cheek. 

Which of the eligible lady statues could have left it? 
Neptune wouldn’t kiss and tell... 

What's that smell?

To quote the Lynyrd Skynard song “Ooooh that smell. Can’t you smell that smell?” Take a whiff Sarasota of the two of the famous corpse flowers named Seymour and Audrey that are set to bloom within the week at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. The flowers are known for a putrid scent that they produce once in bloom.
