I used to work in Ward's Drugstore there on Eleventh, ah Eleventh

Street and Third Avenue ah in between umm doing summers, in between

school and that was Ward's Drugstore. Across from him was ah one

of those greasy spoons and then a doctor's office and then for a

long time on that corner, Eleventh Terrace and Third Avenue was ah

the Miami Times, the original publisher, A.T.S. Reeves, ah worked

there and then after he moved out to Liberty City, umm Mr. Davis

put a print shop there. Now that was about it in that section.

Further down they had the ah, a hall where they had little affairs

and Booker T. Dunn had a barbecue place, Ebenezer Church was on the

corner from umm Ward's Drugstore and down that way on Third Avenue

was Booker T. Dunn's barbecue place and one or two of the little

buildings there had "holes in the wall" you know where you could

pick up clothing and stuff and further down Third Avenue you had
