Historical hood

house
This quaint house is on Plaza Street in Village West. There is a lot of charm in the old Grove neighborhoods. This is what most of Center Grove looked like when I was a kid. Lots of these old houses around Oak Street used to have shops and stores inside. All the others lined the rest of the Grove and were residences.

It's a shame they could not be restored, rather than be replaced by the cookie cutter townhouses that has taken their place. The Grove could have been such a great historical district. Greedy developers and ignored zoning laws ruined the soul of Coconut Grove.
