Things are getting better

Virginia Street near Cocowalk

Bird Ave. and Virginia Street

Gardner's Market

It feels a bit like after Hurricane Andrew when there wasn't much open in the Grove or surrounding areas.

It was hard to find some nice hot food. The lines at McDonalds were around the block. Burger King had no electricity so they were closed, so were most of the other eateries in the area.

Gardner's Market was open and it was so nice to get a hot cup of coffee and some decent food. Right up the block, there was a downed tree blocking most of Bird Ave. at Virginia Street. At the other end of Virginia Street there was a downed tree near Cocowalk. But things are getting better.

Traffic lights are down or dead and people are being courteous and treating each intersection like a four way stop so that's a good thing, too. I have never seen the intersection of Aviation and South Bayshore Drive so calm. Usually someone is speeding through, but now they are all stopping and letting each other go.
