Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
This week Archive Diver brings you an ad for the Sports Rock Cafe, a bar food/health/entertainment concept at a failed mall, the Bakery Centre. The Bakery Centre, now the location for The Shops At Sunset Place on US1 and SW 57th Ave., was a pink, 9-acre, commercial wasteland that kids used to ride their bikes through, smoke pot, and throw stuff openly inside of. Maybe the only success story to come out of it was the AMC movie theater that was on the ground floor. Did anybody ever eat at the Sports Rock Cafe? Leave a comment. Here’s the full ad as it appeared in the New Times in July, 1988.
