Nice pictures. It is really sad what is happening in the West Grove neighborhood. By the way, why the Domino's park is closed?
Sidney Poitier was born in "West Grove"
One report said soil contamination. Closed until testing can be done.
People should study Miami's history. There were many pioneers who deserve respect. There are people who are trying to take away or diminish Miami's historic names. Shame.
My neighbor purchased an original Grove home on York Street/Ave? and spend about $300,000.00, total to renovate to a new condition, lost his investment big time & was saddened by a lack of support to renovate our history & had to move back to the Carolina's with his wife and 2 children.
African Americans are trying to protect historic names like Little River, Lemon City, Buena Vista from aggressive Haitians who want to brand their name on top of historic Miami neighborhoods.
