Was the sun shining in any particular manner, and did the smell of the Holsum Bakery waft over to where you were?  |

Oh man. The Holsum Bakery? I can't believe I forgot about that. The smell was a little piece of heaven.

D'Pizza! That was a major staple of my diet when I was at the University of Miami. They would deliver even at 2 or 3 a.m. They had these garlic knots that you could squeeze and olive oil (?) or grease (?) or some combination of the two would come pouring out. It was great.  |

D'Pizza did have great garlic rolls but they were still nowhere near as good as the ones at Papa Nick's in S. Miami near Colonial Drive. Those were the best I ever had.

I agree, I lived on Colonial Drive. Remember Taco Romero across from Publix? He was a teacher at Killian, and owned a taco place too... |

Anybody remember the Goody Bakery, in a little shopping center on Red Road, just south of Sunset Drive? I remember the luscious aromas wafting from the Holsum Bakery, too!

Y'all are breaking my heart
The Jr. Orange Bowl Parade , in the mid-60s was comprised of all-children, mostly from the Coral Gables Youth Center, and the parade was in the afternoon on Miracle Mile!
Does anyone remember "The Studio" restaurant - waiting in line.... the desert table  It was worth the wait, wasn't it  |

Went to Kohl's in Town & Country yesterday and we were reminiscing on how it used to be. You could eat at the Food Court overlooking the lake and they had a beautiful carousel for the kids. I remember a place called Studebakers there too.  |
