There is one on St. Armands Circle, Lido Key, near Sarasota Florida. You
should see the tourists trying to negotiate around that thing!
I don't know if it'd be such a good idea, but definately worth the price of
ice cream and a nearby bench to watch the festivities! (Get your Eldorado
Convertible out of the way of my Lincoln Towncar!!!)
And, don't even get me started on the parking (they park around the edges -
brilliant, huh?)
