They Want New Face On Giralda
A group of Giralda Avenue—Merrick Way businessmen appeared before the City Commission recently to request four changes in that downtown area: Change angle parking on Giralda to parallel between Douglas Road and Merrick Way. Make Giralda a two-way street between Merrick Way and Douglas Road. Install new street signs on Merrick Way, Giralda Avenue and Galiano Street similar to those at Galiano and Salzedo. Change plans for creating an "island" at the junction of Galiano, Merrick Way and Giralda. The commission deferred action.
Three Sites Under Study For Club
The Recreational Advisory Board will study the request by the Coral Gables Garden Club for a site for its activities. Mrs. Malcolm Lovell headed a delegation of club members Tuesday which appeared before the City Commission to suggest some possible locations. The three sites are the city-owned property near Ponce de Leon Junior High School, which the group favors, an odd-shaped piece of land at San Amaro Drive and Campo Sano Avenue and the Lovell property at Coral Way and Red Road.
'Facelifting' For Ponce Is Coming
Ponce de Leon Boulevard is due for a facelifting—well not exactly. Facislift of Florida Inc. is a new store at 1418 Ponce de Leon Blvd. Owners are Wally and Laurie Betz, formerly of Minnesota by way of Fort Lauderdale. Betz led international sales for Stauffer products in 1958. The Betz, who have three children, are looking for a home in the Gables.
