Last Friday (18 May 2012) Roxane was in the area of 16th Street while doing a few errands. So, she stopped by to say hello and share a smile. Vern, she said, has opened a vegetarian restaurant in Cocoa Beach, Florida called “The Avocado Pit,” and she wanted to know if we would join her for lunch. Now Vern also grew up on Barrello Lane (Cocoa Beach) and was only a youth in the early 1970’s when our home at 344 Barrello Lane was stolen by the Federal Government without any court action whatsoever. At that time, we, the Browns, called Vern by his beautifully sounding name, Vernon Mattioli.
Roxane, said Vern’s restaurant was the smallest restaurant in the world … well if not the world certainly the smallest in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
