I think this Food Fair had an entrance on the south side of the building as well as one on Miracle Mile. I handed out election day cards in the south side asking people to vote fora judge for re-election. He lost, and the campaign never paid me.

Well then... as Stan now knows, this photo WAS actually stolen, but by no one involved here. A few years ago, I gave Darion Avery of Avery Glass a stack of prints I'd made from my negative collection [which is now part of Seth and Myrna Bramson's collection]. He good-naturedly lent them to a customer to enjoy, who promptly disappeared - along with the photos. Stan bought them in good faith from someone at the Ft. Lauderdale Flea Market (whom I suspect was the thief himself). All this aside, now comes the TRUE and CORRECT identification of the picture. This Food Fair was on the South side of Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, close to Ponce de Leon Avenue. Note the Woolworth's to the left side of the picture. They eventually expanded into the Food Fair location and remodeled the entire building.

This looks like the Food Fair near the old Sable Palm Apts. which is now Design Place.

Thank you for the correction. May we please have your permission to display it on this site? If you would like name credit I'll gladly put that under the photo too if you give me your name. Don
