Hello
I will be relocating to Sarasota, Fl in a few months, and I can't find anything about us or any hispanics there, should I be worried? I know there are alot of retirees there which is fine with me. My husband loves it there and wants to raise our daughter there. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thx
I live in Sarasota. I'm not Dominican, nor Latino. I'm just interested in Dominican culture. Anyhow, there are a lot of Hispanic people here. In fact, according to the census 1-out-10 people in Sarasota are Latino/Hispanic. There has always been a modest Mexican/Central American community here. I've begun to see a rise in the number of Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Colombians/Peruvians.
Another telling sign of the Latino population: I hear people speaking Spanish every time I leave my house and go somewhere. Believe me, there are plenty of Hispanic people here in Sarasota, and their population is growing. You won't have a hard time finding them.
As far as Dominicans, I haven't met any here. Then again, I generally don't go out of my way to meet people. I've certainly seen people who look Dominican, but I didn't talk to them.
Additionally, there are quite a few Hispanic grocery stores which carry Dominican products as well--just in case you were wondering.
