Rain is really not a friend to the Grove
I never really thought about it before, but the Grove is an outdoor place. When it rains it really kills the Grove.
Most Grove things are outside -- the parks, the street cafés, CocoWalk, Mayfair, the bay and waterfront and just the fact that you can stroll the streets. When it rains, it really puts a damper on everything. No pun intended.
I guess you could go to the movies or eat indoors at most places, but the whole concept of the Grove is to be outside. To be inside is a Kendall thing. Let's hope the weather clears up by tomorrow.

Rain is a friend to the Grove canopy and greenery! I love the richness of color after a good cleansing rain!
I agree with tt, as Travis Bickel from the film Taxi Driver said: "Thank God for the rain which has helped wash away the garbage and trash off the sidewalks...."
The rain brings a necessary change in the pace, once in a while.
RAIN..RAIN..RAIN...LOVE IT! KEEPS THE 'GROVE' , THE 'GROVE'
Beg to differ about rain not being a friend to the Grove. Green Street is great to have a drink and lay out on their couches. Also is Scottie's is a really clutch spot to have a drink and look at the water.
We suffered through the rain Saturday afternoon, the Grove is still beautiful even during a downpour!
Without rain you'd be dead. However, the rain washes all pollutants; gasoline, oil, fertilizers, animal fecus, dead leaves and grass, soaps from septic tanks and soot directly into the storm drains that are unprotected and unlined porous coral rock and French drains and directly into our drinking water aquifer causing breast and other forms of cancers, disease and a host of ailments. The land should be left as natural as possible so rain water can be filtered through the sand and coral rock. When the City of Miami give citations for parking on unimproved surfaces they are in violation of the clean water act and evironmental protection agency rules and the law. It is costing Miami citizenstaxpayers $2-billion to right this wrong. What with the fire fund cost @ $17-million, medicare fraud @ $22-billion and our nations $62-trillion for this over inflated housing market and one to two trillion for these wars; other than that Miami is a great place to live.
