Hi everyone, Ovidio has set the date for the Fall 2009 Swap Meet for Saturday, October 24. The setup will be right before Powell Bridge on Rickenbacker Causeway, Key Biscayne, just a bit past Sailboards Miami. The Swap Meet starts at 10AM, just make sure you don’t park in the roadway. See you there!
Ovidio tells me that our Fall Swap Meet date is tentatively set for Saturday, October 24.
Check back for confirmation.
“The Australian pines lining Rickenbacker Causeway have been a draw for generations, their shade cooling picnickers and board sailors, lovers and joggers.
Miami-Dade County has begun bulldozing them all — dozens of the stately trees from the toll booth to the Miami Seaquarium — as part of a $6.8 million project to restore eroding shoreline and prevent storm runoff from pouring directly into Biscayne Bay.”
