Neighbors in the North Grove are cheering tonight. The Montessori school proposal was withdrawn tonight at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting by the school's owner, Joan Rodriguez . She said that the neighbors opposition was reason to withdraw her plan to put a school in a residential neighborhood. Most felt, or rather knew, that it was not going to happen. Too many big shots (and politicians) were not going to allow it.
She may decide to place the school elsewhere in the future. Hopefully in a properly zoned area, you know, somewhere where schools are permitted.
If only all things went this well. It would have made the Home Depot fight years ago so much easier. At the same meeting tonight, Midtown neighbors were fighting a Wal-Mart intrusion. Most neighbors don't want that, the only ones seemed to be a few elderly folks who thought it would be a convenience, so they were willing to sell their neighbors out for that. Hopefully Wal-Mart will not get special zoning and ruin the new Midtown/Wynwood area. It doesn't belong there.
