Coconut Grove Grapevine

Coconut Grove Grapevine: "Never a dull moment at The Bookstore

Yesterday, The Bookstore in the Grove was all abuzz with a commerical being filmed for State Representative Carlos Lopez-Cantera. Carlos is up for re-election in November for District 113, which includes Coconut Grove. This will be his last run for this particular office because of term limits.

Felice Dubin & Carlos Lopez-Cantera @ The Bookstore!

Felice Dubin, co-owner of The Bookstore, was in the commercial, giving Carlos an endorsement, who has done great things for our district. He lives right here in the Center Grove and is a big part of our community.

Carlos is one of the judges at this Sunday's Great Grove Bed Race, along with Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, actor Steven Bauer (Rocky Echevarría) of Que Pasa, USA? and possibly Mayor Tomas Regalado among others. Grand Marshall Tony Kanaan will also be judging the beds on Commodore Plaza. They are judged in various categories like Creativity, Theme, Originality, etc. And of course they race and they are judged by their speed."
