Coconut Grove loves their Peacocks, and so goes the display Tour of Peacocks that causes more fancy than fury.

You may have seen these Peacocks around Coconut Grove, but these are not your ordinary Peacocks. For those of you who have not driven through the Grove lately, these beautifully painted Peacocks of Art have been carefully placed as part of the Coconut Grove Peacock Tour 2010. 
Peacock at Commodore Plaza and Main Highway, Painting by Eileen Seitz.The Peacocks were designed by local Grove artists and paid for by local businesses and organizations, all contributing to public art. Peacocks will be on display for 6 months until the final "Coconut Grove Peacock Auction Ball", in which proceeds will be donated to the charity and non-profit partners.

Coconut Grove has always been known for its Bohemian identity - never without local vegetarian food, rick-shaw rides, or old hideaway bars. Even though the community has become more affluent over the years, the Grove still has it's artsy flair. I just don't see the Hare Krishna's parading as much, but their Temple still exists on Virginia Street.
