However, Salas said his concerns were alleviated after Gersten met with Spring Garden residents. Like the Wynwood location, Gramps by the Sea will have a full-liquor bar and an outdoor beer garden.Ĭarlos Salas, president of the Spring Garden Homeowners Association, said he and his neighbors are concerned about noise. In a letter to the MRC, Black said the menu will include “some raw bar items, fish sandwiches, burgers, all provided at reasonable prices.”

Gramps by the Sea will be more full-service, Gersten said, comparing the future restaurant’s menu as being between that of the Florida restaurant chain Flannigan’s and Shuckers in North Bay Village.

That bar features live music acts, a full liquor bar, pizza, and meals from a food truck parked in front. Gramps by the Sea will be operated by Adam Gersten, who opened Gramps in Wynwood in 2012.

Steel panels along the façade are intended to provide a weathered steel look of ships or containers. “Steel columns with a concrete roof deck provide a similar look to a working boat house,” Orin Black, the 5th Street Marina’s general manager, described in a letter to the Miami River Commission. The design for Gramps by the Sea, created by Opa-locka-based itecdesign, is meant to match the industrial character of the Miami River. Gramps by the Sea will look very different from the box-like Gramps that now operates at 176 Northwest 24th Street. It’s planned for the eastern side of the 5th Street Marina. The proposed design for the two-story, 100-seat bar and restaurant at 341 Northwest South River Drive will now be reviewed by the city’s planning and zoning department. The sequel to the popular Wynwood bar Gramps won the unanimous consent of the Miami River Commission on Monday. It’s definitely a part of Michigan/American history that may never see the light of day again.Rendering of Gramps by the Sea (Credit: Gramps by the Sea)Ī new bar and restaurant, Gramps by the Sea, is coming to the Miami River. The gallery below shows some old gas station giveaways, prices, locations, and memorabilia. Sure, they had candy, pop, and cigarettes on the inside just like now, but that’s about where the similarity ends (they had those famous pop machines standing outside as well). They can’t have gas wars anymore…and they were fun!Īlso, many gas stations had their fun mascots and wacky statues out front to lure you in. What’s the lowest gas price you recall? I remember driving around during a gas war, where stations were competing with each other to have the lowest price…the lowest I came across was ten cents a gallon! Now there is very little local feverish competition, as the prices are dictated to the various locations by corporate CEOs. We didn’t think much about the prices then, because we were used to gas being under a dollar a gallon.

Nowadays all you walk away with is a receipt and an empty debit card. It could be a set of glasses, can of oil, set of kitchen knives, comic book, ash tray, baseball cards, toys, and other cool stuff.

Now you have to do all those things yourself.īut it wasn’t just the extreme service you received – there were also little goodies and souvenirs you were given absolutely free with each fill-up. For those of you who thought that part was fiction, you are totally wrong…that’s how some service stations actually treated their customers…like royalty. One checks the oil, another checks the tires, another cleans the windshield, and the fourth one gasses up the car. For those of you who saw the original Back to the Future, you may recall the scene where Marty has gone back to 1955 and sees a group of four Texaco attendants rush out to a car that just pulled in. Many decades ago, the gas station experience was extremely different.
