Photo: Making way for new South Beach dining area

By Howard B. Owens

Crews have been working yesterday and today to remove the concrete and plants that once made a little park between the HSBC building and South Beach Restaurant.

South Beach owner Ken Mistler acquired the strip of land from the city in order to create a BBQ pit and outdoor dining area for his restaurant.  

The new space will also contain a greenway with a walking path and bricks inlayed as a fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club (the park was formerly known as Kiwanis Park).

With all the seagulls around there I hope Ken is thinking of a solution to keep them somewhat away and away from customers. Seagulls have been known to come and grab food while you're sitting right there and they aren't very nice!!
