We continue our conversation about the Coconut Grove Playhouse. The old theatre has been unused since 2006 and has become a topic of political interest in South Florida. Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez wants to restore only the front of the theater and demolish the rest, building a modern new theater in its place. City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez does not agree. Suarez wants to restore the entire playhouse. Gimenez's proposal was approved in a vote, but Suarez has vetoed the plan. Suarez joined the program on Wednesday and Mayor Gimenez joined on Thursday to respond to Suarez’s comments and talk about his plans to restore the historic Coconut Grove site.
