Nice Message From At The Bay

To Our Friends and Supporters:
At The Bay, we are strongly grounded in our ideals and principles of being open, accessible, and welcoming to everyone.

In light of evolving COVID-19 health concerns, as we exercise caution and make safety a priority, The Bay and our public parks remain open for our communities to enjoy.

 If you're comfortable going out for a break, here are a few things you can do to stay healthy and happy:

Get some fresh air
Take a walk or a jog
Walk with your kids and/or your dog
Read a book in the sunshine
Visit a park!

Whether you choose indoor or outdoor sunshine, we encourage everyone to stay safe, practice social distancing, take necessary precautions, and continue to follow CDC guidelines.

Here's how some of our nation’s public parks are promoting health and wellness in our communities:
The Role Our Parks Play:
(Click the links below!)
The need for parks in a time of sickness
A Missouri public park keeping patrons healthy
Seattleites turn to public parks for positivity
Working With Our Community

The Bay Park Conservancy continues to monitor the situation in Sarasota and will continue to make decisions to protect the health and safety of our volunteers, staff, team members, and visitors.

Our Fountain Garden will remain open to the public, and we are currently exploring opportunities for the public to virtually visit the Fountain Garden and our bayfront - including daily sunsets. So stay tuned for that announcement.



However, the Blue Pagoda will be closed to visitors through the end of March. And the BPC staff and team will continue to work together remotely.



In the days ahead, The Bay Park Conservancy staff and team will adhere to guidance from local and state officials as well as the CDC on appropriate timing to reopen the Blue Pagoda. Our project coordinator, Lori Denny (lori.denny@bayparkconservancy.org | 941.203.5316) is available to answer any questions.

Any other questions can always be directed to Ask The Bay.

We thank you for your flexibility, partnership, and continuous support through this journey.

From all of us at The Bay, please stay safe.
An Opportunity to Give
The Bay has always been centered around community - and in times like these it’s important to show our support and help bring our community together. One opportunity to do so, just around the corner, is through the Community Foundation of Sarasota County’s (CFSC’s) annual Giving Challenge.

It’s the perfect way to give to local non-profit organizations in our area that are responding to those in need - and most importantly, The Giving Challenge is an online giving event! For 24 hours on April 28-29, we can all come together to support our community through the power of philanthropy.

If you've been following and supporting The Bay initiative, this is also a way to give in a small, but significant way, and become an official Friend of The Bay.

For more information about how to participate in The Giving Challenge, visit our partner page here.

Participate in The Patterson Foundation Challenge!

The Patterson Foundation has committed up to $5 million to The Bay Park Conservancy to catalyze support for the additional $15 million needed to fulfill the $20 million Phase 1 private fundraising goal. The investment includes an initial gift of $2 million, along with additional contributions of $1 million as each additional $5 million is raised in private support.

You can make a gift, contribute to The Bay Park, and join us in reaching our goal to have the first phase of the park complete in 2-3 years! Visit the Make a Gift page on our website to learn about the many ways you can partner with us and continue the momentum!

Mustang Sally Video by David Innes MPHS Jan 66








I have done a few little videos using the iMovie editing app that are kind of fun. I've attached a short music video, "The Mighty Mustangs". It's mostly pix from the 60's and a few mini reunions, served up in video form. I'll send along another video to you that takes the form of a movie promo for one of our 60's films that was called "The Relatives."

The old movies were lost quite a while ago, but there were enough old snapshots taken to do a little tongue-in-cheek promo. Anyway, I hope you get a kick out of them, and you can post them to any appropriate Empehi sites, oh King of Empehi reunion activity!

Chicago - High Speed Tunnel - by the Boring Company

Chicago - High Speed Tunnel - by the Boring Company

The Boring Company has been selected by the Chicago Infrastructure Trust (CIT), on behalf of the City of Chicago, to enter into exclusive negotiations to design, build, finance, operate and maintain an O’Hare Express service. The Chicago Express Loop will provide fast and convenient transportation between O’Hare Airport (Terminals 1-3) and Block 37 in downtown Chicago. The Boring Company aims to alleviate soul-destroying traffic by constructing safe, affordable, and environmentally-friendly public transportation systems.

Block 37 Station.jpg
Where would this tunnel alignment run?
The Chicago Express Loop will run between O’Hare Airport and Block 37 in downtown Chicago.

What is Loop?


Loop is a high-speed underground public transportation system in which passengers are transported via compatible autonomous electric vehicles at up to 155 miles per hour. See FAQ for additional information.
What is an AEV? 
AEVs are public transportation vehicles built on a modified Tesla Model X chassis. AEVs are:
  • Safe. AEVs are based on the Tesla Model X, recently named the first and only SUV to achieve a NHTSA 5-Star safety rating in every category and subcategory.
  • High-speed. AEVs can travel at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour.
  • All-electric. AEVs are battery-powered, zero-emissions vehicles.
Why tunnels?
The benefits of subsurface transportation systems include:
  • No surface noise and vibration. Tunnel construction and operation will be silent, invisible, and imperceptible at the surface.
  • No communities divided with lanes and barriers. TBC will not use public surface right-of- way for construction or operation of its system.
  • Comfortable and convenient for passengers. Higher speeds and straighter alignments are possible due to fewer subsurface right-of-way constraints.
  • Weatherproof. Operation is unaffected by weather.
Who is paying for this? 
The Boring Company. This project will be 100% privately funded.
How long will the trip take? 
It will take 12-minutes to travel from O’Hare to downtown. The Chicago Express Loop is three to four times faster than existing transportation systems between O’Hare Airport and downtown Chicago.
How much would a trip cost?
The fares are not finalized but will be less than half the typical price of taxi/ride-share services, though higher than the Blue Line.
What are the amenities on the AEV? 
Each AEV features a climate controlled cabin, luggage storage space, and Wi-Fi.
How frequently will the AEVs leave the station?
AEVs will leave each station as frequently as every 30 seconds. The Chicago Express Loop will operate 20 hours per day, every day of the week.
How can I submit feedback?
Comments, questions, and future station suggestions can be emailed to chicago@boringcompany.com.  We will expand this project page over time to reflect the questions received.
