Not sure how Brickell vs. The Grove got into the story about the drug sting in Village West (I only wrote one line) but this interesting, albeit rude comment came in about that:
"Let me know one building in Brickell that isn't at least 50% occupied. There's plenty of people in Brickell. At least you don't see homeless/crackheads walking around Brickell. Brickell is the new hotspot for the young professional crowd. The Grove is for old farts and underage college students. Open a nice bar like Yard House or Gordon Biersch and i'll come back. And FYI there are bars in Brickell that close at 5 am - and all the rest close at 3 am. More than the grove can say."
I find it interesting, because while I am always for the one-of-a-kind restaurants and bars in the Grove, I do think we need more of a mix and Yard House and Gordon Biersch would be most welcome. I noticed that Pasha's and a new Mexican place are on Miracle Mile now and Coral Gables seems to be scooping up all the prime restaurants. We need some here.
If we could get something like Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, that would be a major coup, too. Even a Sweet Bay would bring people to the Grove.
