Live, from Coconut Grove, it's CoconutGrove.com

It was a nice surprise at the end of today's BID marketing meeting. Ivan Irias of ID Media and a couple of his staff came in with a cake that had the BID's new website, CoconutGrove.com's image on it. But the real surprise is that right on the spot, Ivan made it go live (the website, not the cake). Above, Ivan shows the cake to Marshall Steingold, Naomi Evans and Lilia Garcia.

As other cakes and refreshments were brought out, Ivan and Andres Guzman (with the camera) and Stanley Prato, went next door to the Arts Festival Gallery to put the Grove website online live. Andres chronicled it all with his camera.

Back next door, at the BID office, the party started and everyone cheered as the new site came up live on computers and iPads in the office. So check it out -- www.CoconutGrove.com.

Earlier in the BID meeting, David Collins, BID director said something about the site going live next month and everyone sighed, not realizing he knew about the surprise coming up at the end of the meeting. It was a long time coming, but it's a beautiful and informative site.
