Anna Maria ranked third among U.S. islands – Charles Schelle Bradenton Herald

Gr8 article on Anna Maria ranked third among U.S. islands by @ImYourChuck http://www.bradenton.com/2014/02/20/5002473/anna-maria-ranked-third-among.html

ANNA MARIA ISLAND -- TripAdvisor has named Anna Maria Island the No. 3 island in the United States, up a spot from last year's No. 4 ranking.

The rating is based on the second annual Traveler's Choice Island awards from the website that compiles ratings and recommendations from travelers.

The TripAdvisor ranking is incredibly important to tourism in Anna Maria, notes Elliott Falcione, executive director for the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.

"TripAdvisor is really our biggest critic when it comes to visitation," Falcione said. "For them to rank Anna Maria with its character and Old Florida environment, it shows once again it's one of the top places to visit in the United States."

According to a TripAdvisor.com site poll, 72 percent of U.S. respondents plan on visiting an island in 2014. Marco Island topped the list, with Chincoteague Island, Va., coming in second. Key West was the only other Florida island to make the list at No. 10.

Top 10 Islands in the U.S.: 1. Marco Island, Florida 2. Chincoteague Island, Virginia 3. Anna Maria Island, Florida 4. San Juan Island, Washington 5. Maui, Hawaii 6. Kauai, Hawaii 7. Island of Hawaii, Hawaii 8. Nantucket, Massachusetts 9. Hilton Head, South Carolina 10. Key West, Florida

Baltimore Orioles spring training schedule at Ed Smith stadium in Sarasota Florida for Feb. and March 2014

February 19, 2014

Ed Smith Stadium

2700 12th St, Sarasota, FL 34237

Today I had the opportunity to stop by Ed Smith stadium. Although I wrote an article or two from spring training for the Baltimore Orioles for a number of years, 2014 marks the second year that I have not covered any of the Florida Grapefruit League. I guess I miss it.

Today we stopped by the stadium to grab some lunch with some dear friends from Westminster, Sueann and Bobby Myers…

According to Baltimore Orioles MLB.com, http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/spring_training/ballpark.jsp?c_id=bal, “2014 marks the fifth consecutive Spring Training for the Orioles in Sarasota, and the fourth in the renovated Ed Smith Stadium. With its modern amenities mixed with historical Florida architecture, Ed Smith Stadium has truly become “Birdland South.’”

"BRADENTON -- The Pittsburgh Pirates are tearing down the original Popi's Place I to build a parking lot.

The restaurant, previously sold in 2004 by Popi and Manny Ameres to Gus Johnson, was purchased by the Pittsburgh Pirates and will be demolished after spring training to become a parking lot for McKechnie Field, the organization announced Friday.

The deal closed at 3 p.m. Friday, and at the same time, the restaurant closed for good, said Trevor Gooby, senior director of Florida operations for the Pittsburgh Pirates."
