The Wallendas make Sarasota home
1928
Sarasota, Florida

A German high-wire family joined Ringling and settled where the circus wintered. They worked without a net after their equipment was lost in transit and the crowd assumed it was deliberate. The seven-person pyramid collapsed in Detroit in 1962, killing two and paralysing a third. Karl Wallenda fell to his death crossing between hotels in Puerto Rico at seventy-three. The family is still in Sarasota and still walking wires.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
