What is This?

From pg 1.- It is called a QR code and it DOES involve scanning. But the messages transmitted are not necessar-ily from outer space; more like your local green grocers. To use it, you download an app to your smart phone (if you have to ask, then no, you do not have one) called a qr reader. Then you scan or photograph the code with your phone and instantly be taken where ever the code maker wants you to go.

That could be a a website where you can get exclusive content that complements your in-person experience (often using video), learn more about a featured product, get a special reward or offer, take a poll or short survey or sign up for a mailing list.

Champ wins paws down as our September Pin-up Pooch! The super cute 4-year old Weimaraner looks like he’s had too much chilli at Taste of the Grove! When the 100lb. hero isn’t doing quality control at local food festivals, he likes to go to the beach and go for long runs in Kennedy Park- his favorite park.

Wow, what a great Summer this has been! The Coconut Grove Gazette Lauch Party at the Ritz was the debut of “Grove Chic”™, the new Loft’s awesome Grand Opening on August 27th, Violins and Visions Gallery Walk Live Art Show and the Chamber was mixing it up the whole time! Even Cirque du Grove was here!
