It was like stepping back in time
It looked like a throwback to the Grove of the 1970s when these two hippy-type artists stopped in the center of town yesterday. Their dress, including the hat, just seemed to be from a bygone era.
Their car broke down and they made the best of it while waiting for help. The were from an art gallery in West Virginia.
The guys sort of camped out for an hour or so, they enjoyed honey and peanut butter sandwiches made on the spot right out of the cooler in their trunk.

I'm real surprized Papa Sarnoff didn't have them removed! Probably working on a law as we speak!
Agreed anon, I can't believe the Center grove yuppies didn't run them out of town, or try to have them towed off and locked up.
Thankfully those days are over. I did not overpay for my home in this community so a bunch of hippies could do bed and breakfast on Commodore Plaza.
Agreed. It's time to close the book on the Grove-as-Key West chapter of the area.
I'm sure it was fun and "crazy" back in the heydays of pot, strawberry wine, and birkenstocks, as I've heard it related SO many times by old-timers in the Grove whenever I mention how much I enjoy living here. "You've should seen it back in the day, we used to (insert booze and weed fueled debauchery)." Well, I don't live "back in the day," I live in the here and now, and I would like the Grove to become a quieter and cleaner residential area.
While we're commenting here, why was Sarnoff's name gratuitously mentioned in the first place?
What exactly is the reason people have a problem with him, facetious comments aside?
Yes, we should sanitize the Grove to make the newcomers happy. And when we're done of the hippies and shrimpers and all those pesky things that make us different from Kendall, let's go after the Blacks and the Jews. That should raise our house values. After all, its not the newcomers fault that they paid too much for their homes. It's the oldtimers and everyone else.
What a bunch of morons. I hate to think that those hateful people actually live among us.
Thanks for the great picture, Tom. I like then and I like now, but I still miss Oak Feed Store and the Grove Cinema. Maybe the Anonymouses would have liked them too! Maybe everyone would like them more than empty stores.

When I moved here in 1971 I was told "you should've been here before it changed".
Instead of making it breakfast time, they should have gotten off their lazy arses and moved the car to a safer location where it was not obstructing traffic
They pushed the car into a parking spot, it was not obstructing traffic.
Hey Anon 9:56,
Why the hell did you move here? If the Grove wasn't what you wanted you could have moved to a number of different places. Why move somewhere that needs to change to make you happy? Move somewhere else, anywhere else. The Grove isn't going to change for you or anyone else. It was here before you and will be here long after you.
This series of comments is why I moved from the grove, and am so much happier now.
I came so close to opening a business there, but thankfully i could smell the facist nazism that has invaded a once fine neighborhood.
Oh, and it's not yuppies there - none of them are nearly young enough to be called yuppies - they are all part of america's worst, most greedy, selfish generation - the baby boomers.
Coconut Grove - it's a nice little artist community... unless of course you don't look and dress just like us, and drive a benz.
