Hard to believe, but it has been 100 years since John Ringling and his brother Charles arrived in Sarasota.
Honoring the men who would transform first the city and eventually, the southwest coast of Florida, the Sarasota Alliance for Historic Preservation presents a special bus tour of Sarasota on Sunday at 10 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m.
