Maps, more maps and a brochure. Tourists are always going to that brochure rack at Mayfair, near the old Wet Willy's, which has every brochure you could think of but nothing for the Grove. Nothing. Unless Paul, at the sunglasses kiosk gets to them with one of Cindy's or Marshall's maps, the tourists walk away scratching their heads.
Souvenirs. Daily, tourists are looking for shells, shot glasses, baseball caps and key tags. We have none in the Grove. Do we?
Car rental agency. They take a cab to their hotel and then are stranded the next day. They want convenience and they want to move around.
A guide for when they exit the tour buses on Grand Avenue. They walk in all different directions. A sign or two or an actual person with brochures might help. There is that empty storefront at Mayfair right there, why not use it for this purpose?
M*A*S*H signs. Paul from the sunglasses kiosk can actually build them. He is an expert carpenter.
Someone in the black information booths might help as well. Either that or take the words "Information" off the booths and just put something that says "Coconut Grove," because tourists have actually stopped me in the center of the Grove and asked me where Coconut Grove was.
