STARK RAVING MAD

Yesterday's blog on Scotty's Landing got a big response.  People are aghast at the City of Miami's plans for the Grove's waterfront.  Typical was this note from our friend, Greta, who now lives in Atlanta,

Oh, my dear.  You and everyone else is right;  Scotty's is a treasure.  it was always the first place I took people who wanted to see the 'real' Miami, or the old Key West.  I would tell people, " This is the closest you'll get to the Keys on the mainland.

Black Point Marina hold second place, but it's a long drive down there.

I hope you all can mobilize the voters to take down the folks who crony up to the power brokers/money movers.

I hope we can too, for Greta and everyone else.

WHAT? are they totally stark raving mad? NO NO NO.
This family votes YES for Scotty's.   So does their overseas family who request a trip there every time they visit Miami.

      
     The ballot question goes way beyond replacing Scotty's Landing.  It is so vague, we really can't tell what the developer would be putting on our 7-acres of waterfront.  Grove activist, Nina West, sent city officials a way to clear the air.  She wrote,

 Change the ballot.  Put in the garage dimensions, square feet of retail, number of parking spaces in the garage and the overall dimensions. That will put an end to speculation.


This is a great idea.  Hopefully City Hall will follow Nina's suggestion.
