They are tearing down city hall. It’s been there all my life (that I remember) although it has changed over the years. I got my first speeding ticket shortly after learning how to drive and had to go to court there. I bailed out my friend Bill when he got busted for reckless driving!
The corner of Minuteman and Orlando is the heart of the true Cocoa Beach. Compared to Tourist Cocoa Beach whose city hall is Ron Jon’s Sufshop. World’s Largest Surfshop and Cocoa Beach Eye-sore. Don’t even get me started.
They have been slowly replacing the city offices. first was the Fire Station. Then we got a three-story parking garage and the silver surfer ๐. Then a new cop shop ๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธ. Then and giant cell tower ๐ตโ๐ซ.
Now we get a new city hall and what they are calling a community greenspace. Likely they will set this up for street festivals with food vendors and places to buy T-Shirts. Finally, another parking garage because as my hero Joni says:
Don’t it always seem to go
Joni Mitchell
That you don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
