It's a wrap for Burn Notice
I had been going back and forth with one of the producers suggesting that after all these years of being in Coconut Grove, that they should have the Grapevine in a scene. You know, they can use our nameplate and Sam or Michael or someone could be reading a headline pertaining to that episode and the Coconut Grove Grapevine would be the publication they would be reading.
It would be a little homage to the Grapevine and also a little inside joke for those that know who we are.
We'll see what happens. In the meantime, that's it for the burned spies around here.They have been shooting around town and June 6, 2013 is the premier of the final season.
Commissioner Sarnoff was joking at a meeting recently about being the first to be sitting on a bulldozer come November 1, so he could be the first to strike the first blow against the Expo Center. It will be sad to see it go after so much history, but the new condos across the street can breathe a sigh of relief now, they will not have to look at the ugly structure and Coconut Grove's umpteenth park can go in on the land there.
Here's a bunch of Burn Notice stories we did over the years. They aren't in order, but here they are.

A few years back, Chuck was canceled, and fans banded together and signed (official) petitions and got sponsors (Subway, in the case of Chuck) to be featured on the show, and managed to get the show renewed for 1-2 more seasons.
I wonder if that's even a possibility with Burn Notice, since "Saving Chuck" didn't involve finding them a new studio on top of everything else.
Very sad, not just to lose Burn Notice, all the jobs it brings to the community, and seeing my favorite city and hometown on the TV every week, but to see the Grove losing yet another historic feature and becoming yet another vanilla cookie cutter "seaside town"
Bleah.
It would be nice if they Blew-up City Hall.
It's too bad that, from what used to be a blog that spawned good debates and conversations about local issues and flavor, these past two comments are what we now get from the audience here.
I guess this is a sad reminder of what the people in South Florida have become, and why it's all going to hell in a handbasket.
Sorry, but this'll probably mark the end of my musings here.
I hope you don't let rude people stop you from coming back. They turn my stomach, too. You should see the ones I decline! Or rather, be glad you don't. I just take it that they are sad and miserable people who feel that being rude will make them happy. I'm sure it doesn't. But I think the City Hall comment was just a joke.
jady you need to grow up comments are ment to be of all sorts and you are nobody to judge
To think of it he could have made an excellent bulldozer driver than an elected official but then that needs above average testosterone levels.

The Jadyd-one needs to grow up? I've known her for probably longer than you've been alive.
As far as "nobody to judge" goes... She won't blow her own horn but at the risk of getting in trouble I'll tell you she was born and raised here and she and her family have been involved in business in the Grove for decades until a few years ago when she decided to up stakes and take herself a couple thousand miles away from what the Grove has become.
She is EXACTLY the type of person who's opinion should be voiced, whether you agree with her or not. Meanwhile your idea of a cogent response is basically a YouTube-worthy personal attack telling her her opinion doesn't matter while letting Mr "show sucks" slide with his comment.
Burn Notice was a top tier show that had fans worldwide and brought many of them here on vacation. They poured money into the Grove and made the Grove a temporary home to all the cast and production crew members. Writers, camera people etc. Just take a minute or two to watch the credits roll at the end of an episode and realize that all those people, all of their talent and all of their money and all of that shows money are gone from the Grove now.
Let' us not forget the whole tearing down a (arguably) historic landmark because it's falling apart because of years of neglect and abuse by the City that says it needs to be demolished because of the problems that the City itself created through years of neglect and abuse.
Believe it or not Anon@1:44, some people have a problem with this.

Thanks cn.
I wasn't worried about personal attacks (as you probably know... I can handle that!) ;)
However, the IP Address of the one basically threatening to "Blow up" City Hall should probably be reported to the pertinent authorities.
You just can't be too careful these days, can you?
