Cocoa FL Dining Brevard County Dining A friend and I headed out the other night to grab some dinner. We decided to head up to Historic Cocoa Village, located near Taylor Park, beside the Indian River Lagoon.  We felt like Thai food, so we thought that Thai Thai Village Sushi Bar would be a great choice. The place was full. The wait was a short 15 minutes, so we strolled across the street to the art gallery and admired the paintings of 5 different artists.  Since neither one of was a sushi eater, we opted against the fresh sushi bar. Although, there were many others in the restaurant that were enjoying it.   Dinner was delicious. The service was excellent. Prices were reasonable.  We had a great time.

My neighbor, a competing real estate agent, dropped by this morning and brought me an article on seller financing from last June from the Washington Post. We had discussed the topic one afternoon this Fall. I have a property in Florida, a nice single family home in a sought after neighborhood in Brevard County, Florida. The house is worth almost nothing in comparison to what it was worth before. I learned first hand what it is like to try to sell real estate in Florida while dealing with my dad's estate. It seems like it is almost like a second great depression down there. An agent my father was close to suggested seller financing. That had already crossed my mind but I had not seriously thought about it. The agent told me just what I read in the article this morning from that June 2010... 12/10/2010

Marla and I went to "Trop Stock" in Cocoa Village, Fl. on Sunday afternoon and although the 3 day event was starting to wind down there were still plenty of Parrot Heads left to enjoy the show. We missed the headliners Peter Mayer, lead guitarist for Jimmy Buffet and Nadirah Shakoor, a vocalist with Jimmy but the music was great anyway. It was the perfect thing to do on a lazy, sunny day. Marla even got to go "shopping" :-) Parrot Heads (Jimmy Buffet fans) listen to great music on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Riverfront Park. People never stopped dancing by the stage. Jim Morris and the Big Bamboo Band put on a great show. The Band was excellent. Speaking as a musician, I can truly say they were top notch. There were all kinds of neat things to buy at the bazaar including surf boards. No... 10/03/2010

TropStock in the Village is the latest planned event for downtown Cocoa Village.  It will be held October 1-3, 2010 and it will be a great weekend of Tropical Rock, known as Trop-Rock. Downtown Cocoa Village has been the heart of the city of Cocoa since the late 1800s.  The city was founded by fisherman in 1860 and the first commercial building was built in 1880 when it was known as Indian River City.  The post office thought the name was too long for a postmark and eventually the name of Cocoa was adopted.  Cocoa Village is bordered by Highway 520 to the north and the Indian River to the east.  It is home to many shops, cafes, restaurants, a playhouse, marina, city hall and Riverfront Park.  The Village hosts events all year long which include Art Festivals, Oktoberfest and Mardi Gras ... 09/15/2010

Within the next few months or possibly at most, the next year, I will need to sell my father's home a block from the Indian River in Broadview Manor.
