Park Neighbors Stars as Miss Daisy
Last year, our neighbor Elizabeth Murph
starred as Lucile Ball in a local play, this year she is playing
the lead in "Driving Miss Daisy" at the Garden Theatre in Winter
Garden.
The play is a story of friendship told with
humor, warmth, and beauty. Daisy Werthan, an independent, aging
Jewish widow, reluctantly surrenders the driving to Hoke
Coleburn, a proud, soft-spoken black man. Her stubbornness and
cultural prejudices cause friction, but over 25 years, Hoke
becomes her best friend also.
This Pulitzer-Prize and Academy Award-winning
comedy-drama is running Fri/Sat nights & Sun afternoons 2/12 –
2/28. Call (407) 877- 4736 or
gardenthearte.org to buy tickets or get more information.
New Area
Businesses
If you have been in the SoDo center in the
last few weeks, you might have noticed a new restaurant has
opened. "Twist Asian Fusion" is now open (and seems to be doing
brisk business). Also in SoDo, "The
Orlando Orthopaedic Center" opened (actually relocated from
their Gore St. location). Just around the corner from SoDo,
Dabeni’s Latin Restaurant and Bakery opened at 239 W. Michigan
Street.
Two new outlets for wine and spirits have
opened as well: the Publix on Orange Ave. now has a separate
liquor store, and in same center, next to the Blockbuster, Wine
World Outlet opened in early February. They feature several
levels of wine and many micro-brews and craft beers.
Neighbors Needed!
Calling All Runners! A
few neighbors have asked about organizing the runners in the
neighborhood -- there are some individual runners who are
looking for regular partners and others in need of occasional
partner.
Tennis Anyone? Are you
interested in playing tennis recreationally and looking for a
partner, either occasionally or regularly? Some neighbors would
like to compile a phone/e-mail list of players (at any skill
level).
If interested, just contact our Secretary, Lisa and she will pass along your
contact info to the appropriate person.
