What's up with the ancient tourist maps?

mayfair1
There is this map on the pole here at Mayfair. It's so outdated that many of the stores listed have not been around since last century, yet the map is there.

Daily many tourists try to find things in the Grove by looking at the map. Luckily, Paul is there, selling sunglasses and handing out info.

If it wasn't for Paul, the tourists would really be lost.

How about updating the map and making the whole Grove a part of it because the things that the tourists are looking at the map for are not all in Mayfair, in fact, most aren't.

They usually ask for Commodore Plaza or even Chili's. I know it would be a case of Mayfair sending people to other locations, but look how good that worked in "Miracle on 34th Street," Santa sent the Macy's customers to Gimbels and they loved it and were loyal to Macy's in return.

Macy's is still around, Gimbels is ancent history.

This is precisely why I believe you're doing a service here. I never stopped to look at that, but these things need to be brought to people's attention. It's easy and cheap to fix, but often overlooked by residents.

Keep at it.

There are cylindrical signs like that all over European cities. Mayfair can paste posters of stores and the Improv there for promotion, it would look sort of classy if done properly.

$800,000.00, for two booths that serve no purpose leading to the City of Miami having to purchase two streets from Dade County, or so it was printed and now signage that would only take a few dollars to keep in date, yet the sunglass guy is the merchants best friend as he happily points everyone in the correct direction-----who's in charge around here, the three stooges?
