Coconut Grove Sweet Spot

St. Gaudens

St. Gaudens

At the end of St. Gaudens Road in the south Grove lies this little grassy patch of waterfront property.  Some of the residents of the street have gotten together and installed a bench and a swing.  We walk down here quite often since we live just a few blocks away.  Our daughter likes to play with the coconuts that have washed ashore.  

There are other streets in South Grove that lead to Biscayne Bay as well.  Stroll down Bay Homes Drive, Matheson Avenue, Poinciana Avenue and Bay View Road for similar glimpses of the water.

We Have Adopted A Peacock!!

In honor of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival this weekend I thought I would take the time today to make a very exciting announcement…..

The EWM Coconut Grove office will be part of The Coconut Grove Peacock Tour! 

Peacock

Fashioned after the Cows in Chicago, the Cinncinatti Pig Gig and The Flamingos of Miami Beach, The Coconut Grove Peacock Tour is an interactive public art exhibition.  These larger than life fiberglass peacocks will be designed by local artists and sponsored by local businesses to benefit local charities.  Our office is partnerng with Casa Valentina a local organization which helps young women transition successfully from foster care to independant living.  You can find out more about Casa Valentina here.

Ed King is the artist who will design the peacock for our office.  He is a graduate of the Art Institute of Miami and has lived in Miami for over 20 years.  We will be meeting with him next week to discuss the design.  The peacock will be placed directly in front of our EWM office.

About 20 peacocks will be on display throughout the Coconut Grove village for 6 months starting in late March, early April.   At the end of their run, the peacocks will be auctioned off in a black tie charity event.

This is a very exciting thing for Coconut Grove as it will bring a lot of exposure to our town. 

Many thanks to EWM Realtors, Inc. for its sponsorship of our Peacock!

North Grove Canopy

I have lived all over Coconut Grove (North, South and Center) but I will always be partial to North Coconut Grove for its beautiful canopy of oak trees.   They add great character to the neighborhood.

I especially like this mossy covered oak on Tigertail Avenue.

Coral Rock Walls In Coconut Grove

DSC_0317

One of the many things that make Coconut Grove unique are the beautiful coral rock walls that line the streets.

I snapped these photos early this morning along Main Highway.

See A Resemblance?

DSC_0224

Our EWM office Christmas party was last night and I wanted to thank Gwen Taylor for my new office mascot…. the Riley Coconut Head.

Unfortunately I do see a resemblance (except for the cocktail, which is usually much bigger).
