Woo hoo! I hope our letters and emails helped. :)
The cast and crew, fans and staff, all thank you so very much for your support.
As far as I can tell from researching the address, the Wynwood site referred to in Sarnoff's email response to letters is his pet project, the Miami Entertainment Center (MEC) which has turned out to be a tremendous failure. Now he apparently is going to force tenants to lease space there. He graciously offers defray BN's moving expenses (but not the one million they actually need to move), but fails to mention the huge expenditure already undertaken by BN to renovate the "as is" Convention Center. Regatta Park, it has been stated by other sources, is intended for the use of private condo dwellers, not for "the residents who want their long awaited park.
