My neighbor and friend Charlie Cinnamon has passed away. He was the guy who publicized the Coconut Grove Playhouse and helped create the Coconut Grove Art Festival to complement and promote it.
ReplyDeleteCharlie was a wonderful guy who had many years of contributions to our community. He always had a smile on his face. The new Coconut Grove Playhouse should be all or part named in his memory.
