Ruined Coconut Grove ‘paradise’

They sold out and they know who they are. It got torn down. We can never get it back.

I saw an unheard-of Joni Mitchell when she was 18 years old singing at The Gaslight Coffee House in the Grove.

Mitchell sang it best, “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot…”

RIP in our hearts, old Coconut Grove.
