Worth seeing
Here are a couple of documentaries worth seeing:
SUNDAY, JULY 30, 2006 2-3:00 p.m. at the Colony Theater, (1040 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach - Phone: 305.674.1040) -- "WEST GROVE: A SENSE OF PLACE" (Marlon Johnson and Chad Tingle, 2006, 40 mins.) FREE
The film chronicles the dramatic changes one small community undergoes when big development and rising real estate prices threaten to displace and forever change the face of this historically Bahamian immigrant neighborhood. Wooded shotgun homes, mom-and-pop markets and island-themed architecture quickly find themselves in the shadows of high-rise condos and chain retail stores. The residents struggle to cope with the gentrification taking place while attempting to maintain West Grove as one of the historically oriented strongholds for African-Americans in the City of Miami. Marlon Johnson and Chad Tingle will discuss their documentary following the screening.

Now airing on Coral Gables Television is "Visions From The Past: Preserving the Heritage of the MacFarlane Housing District," an original 30-minute documentary about this historic Coral Gables neighborhood located on the corner of U.S. 1 and Grand Avenue, east of LeJeune Road. Many consider this the Grove, but either way, it is an interesting documentary.
The program showcases Flora MacFarlane, a settler who claimed her 160-acre homestead in 1892 in what is today the City of Coral Gables, and contains interviews with current residents, historian Arva Moore Parks McCabe and preservation architect Mike Steffans. This interesting documentary will show how current City Beautiful residents are trying to hold on to Coral Gables history by making housing restoration a top priority.
Comcast subscribers can watch Coral Gables Television at Channel 77 and Adelphia customers can view it on Channel 97. For more information, contact Coral Gables Television at 305-460-5521 for air times.
