The secret to the Grove's success
I just counted about 40 people at any one moment, waiting to cross the street in the center of town, CocoWalk and Commodore Plaza are flooded with people. The stores, restaurants and even parks are full. About 35 or more people are waiting in line at A.C.'s Icee truck at Kennedy Park. The yacht clubs and sailing club are full.
This is the secret of the Grove's success -- 68 degree, clear, sunny weather. And it doesn't hurt that it is the last big holiday weekend of the year. Can we bottle it up and use it all the time?
The Grove has not been this crowded since the last event -- The Strut. We always fill the streets for events, it's so nice to see people here just because.

Hallelujah!!!!! I love this our business is booming have 3 people on staff to help people. This is how it always should be!!!! We cant keep our pettiskirts in. I cant believe how many we have sold in the last few days. If you see Zebra bags walking around that's us!!! Happy shopping Tula and Tupi
Maybe the extra hour free parking which is over Monday really helps even though it is not advertised that much.
It's the feeling of there is always something to do in the Grove. I had people coming in for the art art event which is at 7 p.m .
Yes Yes Yes Love every minute. We to were part of the crowd. All restaurants were doing nice business. Retail stores all selling, Your right Grape keep the good times rolling here in the Grove, Love every minute.
What success...??? Of course if you only have a few restaurants and stores left!!! Oh and of course the same OLD (really OLD) crowd that usually attend every single event tha Grove has to offer!
Take the blinders off your eyes, and look at the hotels that bring people to the Grove with something called M O N E Y. It is just not all about drunks walking our streets late at night. It is the "old" people that come into the Grove with their Black Amex cards ready to spend. Enough with the Negative Mr. Anonymous please.
Anon 8:34 - enough with the negativity. The Grove is beautiful and it just needs a little TLC. And, Sailfast is right, the "old folks" spend big time. Stop putting the Grove down, it doesn't do anyone any favors.
