THE MIRACLE MILE Welcomes the Coral Gables Riviera - Times as South Florida's Newest DAILY NEWSPAPER!

Beauty, charm, and love of graceful living are both tradition and a reality in Coral Gables. Through the era of progress in the Greater Miami area Coral Gables has retained the characteristics and traditions which justified its being aptly named "The City Beautiful." The Spirit of Progress is very much in evidence today. In the past two years, we have witnessed: The development of our Miracle Mile, the four-block shopping center extending from Coral Gables City Hall to Douglas Road, and the growth of our entire business community to keep pace with the rapidly increasing year-round population . . . Our extensive program of residential and commercial construction now receiving national recognition . . . The expansion of our University of Miami both in student body and curriculum . . . Our contribution to international cultural and business relations through the inception of our new Riddle Inter-American College . . . And now our own CORAL GABLES RIVIERA-TIMES enters the daily newspaper field to bring to the people of Coral Gables more complete coverage of local news and national and international events! We extend to the publisher and staff of the RIVIERA-TIMES our congratulations on this evidence of their faith in the growth of the community they serve, and our sincere wishes for their continued success and growth.
