Miracle Mile — Local services in Coral Gables

We headed towards the Coral Gables Miracle Mile – a stretch of restaurants and shops that had its origins in the 1950s…

“Immediately after WW2, the “Father of Miracle Mile” George K Zain and his wife City Commissioner Rebyl Zain conceived, developed and implemented the concept of a Miracle Mile for the section of Coral Way between Douglas Road and Le Jeune Road. The street was officially named Miracle Mile in 1955 by resolution of the Coral Gables City Commission.

In 1949, Albert H Friedman of Ro’al Apparel Shop that he owned with his wife Rose, with “Jimmy” Baldi of J. Baldi Salon and Carroll Seghers of Carroll’s Jewelers established the Miracle Mile Merchants Association, often holding meetings in the rear of Ro’al at 348 Miracle Mile. The Association honored Mr Friedman in 1980 for outstanding achievements in the establishment and promotion of Miracle Mile by officially declaring him “Mr Miracle Mile”. In 2005, the Coral Gables City Commission named the Downtown District in honor of George and Rebyl Zain and Albert H Friedman.

Coral Gables Miracle Mile is composed of small boutiques in the heart of the Central Business District and is one of the few remaining developments of its type that has maintained its original purpose and significance in the continental United States.”

nope... miracle mile has been a nice place to go for almost a century now. its always been a mix of nice upscale shops and places to eat. parking was always tedious but doable.

i was there 5/31/24 and to my surprise, all the angle parking was gone. what used to be 6/7/8 angle spots has been replaced by 3 parallel parking spots.

so the place has gotten more popular, lets make it more inconvenient?

to add insult to injury, now you have valet everywhere to address the self imposed parking shortage the city has created all along miracle mile. $12 for 4hrs. smells of cronyism...

sorry, nope. taking my money elsewhere...
