Getting more involved may help improve business
Martin Zilber, head of the Village Council, brought up a great idea at the last Village Council meeting. He was asking for business owners to come speak to the Council about who they are and what they do.
He also brought up having a committee to deal with businesses in the Grove. I think there are so many committees and groups and don't know if that is needed.
But I was telling someone the other day that a good idea might be for restaurant and club owners to have their own group. Why not have a bar crawl or weekly happy hour or some event where the bars and restaurants can control and call the shots? I am sure that their agenda is different than say The Bookstore or the art galleries.
I see very few of the bar and restaurant owners at merchant and other meetings, I know some meetings are usually too early in the morning for some of them. They need to get more involved and maybe by starting their own monthly meeting and cooperating with each other, they can draw more business to all of their establishments through a combined effort.

Until certain noise issues are resolved, I dont see where a group of this composition would be appropriate.
After all - we have some very long term, quality, responsible, and proven restaurant owners with a vested interest in the Grove.
We also have some absentee, fly by night, profit over anything and at anyones expense owners, sucking the tradition out of the Grove like a leech! The Grove is not South Beach.
To ask these two interest groups to combine forces would be an insult to the first group. As for the second group, here is 80 cents for the next bus out of town.
Why should our best, join the least? Be careful. If you sleep with dogs, you to, will have fleas.

What a great photo to show how badly we need bike racks in the Grove. People park their bikes on top of planters - all those great ferns the Grove came out and planted are totally ignored - next time you see someone put their bike in a planter, please remind them of that.
