Key Biscayne Shopping Center, c.1953
September 28th, 2012
The Key Biscayne Shopping Center is still around today. In this photo you can see a variety of stores, starting with Vernon’s Sundries on the right. It then follows from right to left: Beauty Shop, Appliances, Cleaners, Hardware, and finally Simpson’s Groceries on the far left. Later the shopping center would expand and Vernon’s Drugs would go on to occupy the left corner and become a staple of the island for many years.
The building has been expanded and remodeled, but the shopping center still stands today.
