George Merrick was the dreamer of Coral Gables. He dreamed of a city that would be modled off of the ideas of writers and poets yet blend perfectly into South Florida's natural beauty. From architecture to lamp posts, Merrick was sure to make every single detail spectacular. He was proud of the city he built and his commercial district that had businesses within two-blocks of each other. Coral Gables was a haven for incredible homes, great businesses and even better people. It was a city made of dreams.
In the 1950's Miracle Mile made its grand debut. By the 1960's, it was a booming with business and home to many Latin American and Caribbean companies.
today.
Today Coral Gables is one of the most historic neighborhoods in South Florida. It has become known as The City Beautiful and completely lives up to that name. The homes are breath taking, the shops are wonderful and every corner has a story. There are museums, book stores, theaters, macarons, and world class resturants; It's a city filled with beauty, love and dreams. Between Le Jeune and Douglas Road you will find the marvelous strip known as Miracle Mile. Walking under the shade of the trees lining Miracle Mile, you can't help but feel charmed. Every window displays a peek of the curious business inside. The Mile is the place for local business, yummy eateries and spectacular bridal shopping.
