Coconut Grove Grapevine: And in response . . .

And in response . . .

Looks like the Grove is responding to those people who didn't like their last billboard on 27th Ave. and US1. Here is the response to the complainers.

Biting the hand that feeds said...: Let me get this straight.."people" drive into downtown Miami to earn a living and we greet them with gratuitous insults while simultaneously inviting them into our charming litter-stewn village to be confronted by 5am drunks? Much too subtle. Maybe the next sign should say "You Suck. Visit the Grove".; July 15, 2007 6:17 AM
Brett said...: I have never seen so many bitter people without a sense of humor. Either people are totally stupid or just jealous of the Grove. I can't figure out which.; July 15, 2007 8:21 AM
Fatal Blossom said...: Considering the comments left by many readers on this blog over many months, both arrows should be pointing south. I love the Grove and I wouldn't live anywhere else in Miami. I'm just disillusioned with the level of whining and moaning and complaining and b*tching.; July 15, 2007 8:28 AM

C.L. Jahn said...: Biting the hand - I think your slogan is kinda catchy: "You Suck. Visit the Grove." It works on several layers; you suck NOW, but a visit to the Grove will cure that. Or, you suck, but we love you anyway. Or, you suck and we want you to come by so we can rub it in.

Yeah, I like it.; July 15, 2007 12:44 PM

A very wise person once observed that we don't know who discovered water, but we're pretty sure it wasn't the fish. One can understand why you didn't get the joke.

We share your concerns about the sign and have taken up the cause. Old Grover will be posting some of the suggestions made here. Keep 'em coming in.

Who will step up and chip in their time to help organize the seccession of Coconut Grove from the City?

Any takers?

I will commit to cooperating in the effort.; July 17, 2007 4:52 PM
