I just read that Cafe Tu Tu Tango, in CocoWalk in Miami's Coconut Grove, will be closing at the end of the month.

I've been there once in the past year, but before that, probably not in a good 10 years -- if not longer. Most of my visits were during 1992 to 1996, when I was in college and lived close by.

Even though I'm nearly 40 miles away, I'm going to make a point to visit one last time, and maybe try something new from the eclectic menu.

The news report gave conflicting reasons for the restaurant's demise, but the bottom line is the CocoWalk is in the midst of a repositioning. The AMC theater will close at the end of the year to make way for a new, high-end Regal Cinemas. Frankly, I enjoy the theater just the way it is. (No, I haven't been there in about a decade, either, but I do have fond memories of it.) I understand that most people are into the plush-seat, stadium-seating type of theater, but I just want to watch a movie in a quiet, comfortable place.

Maybe that's why I tend to stay away from the theater more often than not.

Of course, I'll have to swing by CocoWalk for one last dinner and a movie.
