Trying to save Burn Notice

An email is going around regarding Burn Notice and the City of Miami. It's coming from a casting agency in Miami Beach. I don't think the park that is proposed for the site is for the condo going in across the street, and it just proves my point from a previous post about rumors that spread around town.

Here's the email, they would like fans' support at the City Commission meeting on Thursday, July 26, in regards to renewing Burn Notice's lease at the Expo Center. A meeting and rally start at 10 am at City Hall (3500 Pan American Drive) (I think the Commission starts meeting at 9 am, so they better get there beforehand).


Please help us keep Burn Notice in Miami...
The City of Miami Commissioners, in particular Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, has told us they will not be renewing the lease at the Coconut Grove Convention Center [Expo Center] where Burn Notice is based. Commissioner Marc Sarnoff has plans to build a park on the property where the Convention Center is located. This park is linked to a private condominium that is being built across the street from our site.  He has told the other Miami Commissioners that he "is ready to go" with the demolition process. The cost to move Burn Notice to another stage and office location will be at least 1 million dollars and will take the final season of Burn Notice out of the city of Miami and possibly the state of Florida. This will not only impact the cast and crew and the 150 jobs it supplies per day, but is sending a message to the world that Miami is not a friendly film community.

They have a
Facebook page here, too.
