Happy Halloween
Supposedly, streets will not be closed and people are meant to stay on the sidewalks. Keep in mind that these events are not sanctioned by anyone in Coconut Grove, people just show up to hang out. Police will be on the lookout for those of you who bring liquor in and drink at your car. That is frowned upon and not recommended, police will be looking out for that. Thanks to your litter mess from previous years with bottles and other items thrown about the streets, they know where you park. All the bars in the village have specials, that is the way to go.Two sanctioned events that are happening is the Legendary Howl-O-Ween at CocoWalk, which is mostly for kids during the day and then flows into the late hours for adults. This Family Fun Day will be offer trick or treating at the storefronts. Clowns, magicians, a face painter and more will line the property to entertain.
Live DJ's will take over as night falls, a costume party will also be part of the action.
It all starts at 2 pm and runs until 3 am.
This year, there is a special event for the kids at Armbrister Park. One Grove Foundation is having a Haunted House.
There will be other activities as well including various tents where candy will be handed out by various businesses. The event is from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. It's a great, safe one destination alternative to kids going out door to door.
The haunted house will be set up in the park's rec room. The event is open to the public and free to attend. There is free food, music and candy.
Armbrister Park is located at 236 Grand Avenue.

How many horse cops do you really need in a three block area?
With all the police that were present I thought the City of Miami was preparing to institute Martial Law.
And how was it "destroyed?" If you're going to bash whatever went on last night, you might as well be specific about it.
