Midtown is no longer no man's land. Ever since the Miami neighborhood debuted a couple of years ago, there was little but slick condo towers, a Target and Loehman's.

I stood on the stage looking outward, humbled by the talent that had graced this historic space.

I recently found myself surrounded by what seemed like a zillion pink American flamingos at Sarasota Jungle Gardens (sarasotajunglegardens.com). With a fistful of grub that I bought for a quarter from a dispenser, these gentle, gorgeous birds came right over to feast on the tiny food pellets. Over the years, hundreds of abandoned, abused and unwanted "exotics" and other animals like these flamingos have called this overgrown botanical paradise home. Check it out the next time you're in the area.
