Comments (0) Best Gadfly - 2010

Tom Falco, editor, Coconut Grove Grapevine

Tom Falco's Coconut Grove Grapevine community blog can be irritating. When he's writing about threatening to take photos of kids "posing" as school basketball players — only to watch them "scatter like rats" — or railing against a woman in a food truck poaching customers from Grove restaurants, Falco has all the perspective of a Picasso. But Merriam-Webster's definition of a gadfly is one who "stimulates or annoys, especially by persistent criticism," which might as well be the Grapevine's mission statement. There is no louder voice for a community — in his case, the Grove's business owners — in Miami.

I think the Grapevine is way more stimulating than annoying, with helpful information about events in the community, businesses in the Grove, and local issues and poltics.

The little basketball donation scammers he helped to expose were FAR more annoying... perhaps THEY should've been nominated.

Thanks Tom! JimmyP
