s Pizza, and Pierre’s Caribbean Restaurant all occupy former Arthur Treacher’s buildings . Once you notice the distinctive roofline and architecture, you can’t unsee it. Three completely different restaurants are now preserving a tiny piece of Miami’s fast-food history, even if most customers have no idea. Those are the discoveries that keep me digging. Once you start looking for those clues, you begin seeing old Miami everywhere. You stop looking at buildings for what they are today and start seeing what they used to be. My dad owned a WISE Potato Chips route that covered part of Miami Springs, so I spent plenty of time riding along with him. Driving east on NW 36th Street toward Le Jeune Road, I wasn’t thinking about restaurant history. I was just a kid riding with my dad while he made his deliveries. Years later, I realized I had been looking at a row of Miami history the entire time.
