D'Lites / Salisbury Vision Center / Miami Subs Grill, 7461 Two Notch Road: 2000s 9 comments
I took some daytime pictures of this site, but the sun was against me from the side I was on, and they didn't come out well at all.
Anyway, this building comes up here from time to time, and I've been meaning to do a post on it. The only prior history I knew was Miami Subs Grill which was there at least until 1998. I don't know why i never stopped there. Partly I think because I was living out of town at the time Miami was in business, and I didn't want to take a chance on a place I didn't know versus hitting my known good spots and partly because the name just didn't grab me. When I think "Miami", sandwiches aren't really part of the image that comes to mind, and if I did have to guess at a Miami sandwich specialty, I would have guessed some sort of pressed Cuban sandwich -- subs didn't really enter into it, so it was sort of like seeing a place called New Jersey Grits.
Splendid China was the next tenant, and has been there for quite a while now. Driving by at lunchtime today, it appeared they were doing an excellent business.
Commenter Jimmy provides the D'Lites and Vision Center parts of the building's pre-Miami history, which I don't recall at all.
(Hat tip, obviously, to commenter Jimmy.)
UPDATE 9 July 2010: Added "Salisbury" to "Vision Center" in the post title based on the comments.
