Information on real estate, schools, events and establishments in your area
The Village of Pinecrest has launched a new website to help keep residents and visitors up to date on all of the activities in the Village. In addition to having links to Pinecrest Gardens and the Pinecrest Community Center, there is also a useful Calendar of Events that includes activities going on throughout the month.
The Community Foundation of Pinecrest will be hosting the first annual soccer marathon at Evelyn Greer Park on May 2, 2010. A raffle for Norwegian Cruise Line tickets and other prizes will help raise money to support the Foundations programs for schools, cultural arts and seniors. All ages welcome.
Amazing views from this beautiful apartment at the Verona in Deering Bay. Amenities available include: small and large boat marinas, golf, tennis, restaurant, pools, gym and peace and tranquility. Proximity to downtown Miami, airport, Coral Gables, South Miami, University of Miami, Baptist Hospital, Pinecrest and Dadeland and the Falls shopping centers make this the perfect location to call home.
This house is great for entertaining; it is like having your own country club in your back yard! A North/South tennis court, pool, and large covered patio with electric awning and pass-through to kitchen make this deep acre lot the place to be.
A large kitchen with granite counter tops, spacious living and dining room, and 5 bedrooms provide a wonderful space for relaxing after a day of fun in the sun.
There was a meeting tonight to discuss ideas about potential improvements and uses of the Banyan Bowl at Pinecrest Gardens. Several arts groups, schools and residents have shown a significant interest in having the Village of Pinecrest upgrade and improve the Banyan Bowl so that it can be used for a variety of performances. The Village has hired consultants to do a feasibility study. What do you think? What types of performances would get you to attend?
The Deering Estate will be hosting the ArtSoBay Exhibit from Sunday, January 31 through February 26. This beautiful historic estate and the lush grounds leading to Biscayne Bay make this the perfect stage to hear music from the Greater Miami Youth Symphony and view performances from the Miami Dade College Theater Department.
This event counts towards one of the New Year’s Resolutions for South Floridians!
I went on a run the other day, and within a half mile of my house I saw two people riding horses, a large iguana munching on leaves on the side of the road, and a beautiful peacock. I didn’t have my camera during my run, but on my way into work I had to stop for a peacock crossing the road. Luckily, I had my camera this time!
The Coral Gables/South Miami area is so lucky to have two great cupcake places to choose from. Many of you have probably already heard of or tried Misha’s Cupcakes. The red velvet cupcakes are amazing and her cakes made out of individual mini-cupcakes are works of art as well as being convenient for parties…no plates or wasted cake.
A couple of blocks away on Sunset Drive is Buttercream Cupcakes and Coffee. Although they don’t make mini-cupcake cakes and their minis have to be special ordered, they have a larger variety of flavors. Their chocolate peanut butter cupcakes are amazing. Try both of these neighborhood places and let us know which one is your favorite.
