The only prior history I knew was <i>Miami Subs Grill<\/i> 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 <i>Miami<\/i> 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 <i>New Jersey Grits<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Splendid China<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n<p>Commenter Jimmy provides the <i>D'Lites<\/i> and <i>Vision Center<\/i> parts of the building's pre-<i>Miami<\/i> history, which I don't recall at all.<\/p>\n<p>(Hat tip, obviously, to commenter Jimmy.)<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE 9 July 2010<\/b>:  Added \"Salisbury\" to \"Vision Center\" in the post title based on the comments.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE 8 October 2025<\/b>: Update tags and add map icon.
