What Does Gables Need In '61? Get-Up And Gumption, Says One

By BOB DAVIS Replies to the question "What does Coral Gables need most in 1961?" range from gumption and get-up-and-go to a good hotel and a large major department store. In an informal Times survey, a restaurateur, a merchant, a developer and promoter, and a realty invester... all well known Gableites... suggested solutions to a Gables problem. The restaurateur Dan Ferber of Loffler Brothers Oyster House, had this to say, "Get up and go and gumption are what Gables business people lack. They expect the address Coral Gables to make them, but instead they should make the address. Concentrated Effort "By making a concentrated effort of self-improvement, they can make Coral Gables synonymous with shopping. Specifically, they should embark upon a program to develop a spirit which they can imbue sales people and advertisers with. "It's all summed up in the story about the football player who is in shock after a pile-up. Upon seeing the player laying down on the ground, the coach says, 'Don't just lay there... do pushups!'" Contrasting the zeal mentioned above with relaxation and recreation, James Nichols, head of the Apartment Owners' Association, points to a need for parks and recreation areas. No Place For Them "There is virtually no place for children to play or old folks to walk or sit outdoors. Real estate well suited for parks is located close to Coral Way and Red Road. All the city has to do is develop the area and turn it into a park. "The vacant Douglas Entrance area also would have been ideal for a park." Shifting to the merchant, Warner Daniels, owner of Daniels' Department Store, said he looks forward to a good hotel and a large major department store as two factors that would draw more people into the Gables. "By and large I am well satisfied with the Gables exactly as it is, but I can see where a large 300 to 400 room hotel with the conventions that go along with it could decidely benefit the community most. Store Needed "Another thing that Coral Gables lacks is a large major department store." The developer of Miracle Mile, George Zain, said "Coral Gables has everything except population... both retired and working. Developed as a city beautiful for northern retirees or owners of two homes, the Gables' home construction has not kept pace with business. Also, zoning regulations are too tight." Two eggs supply one-third of the protein needed daily by adults.
