I LIVED 4 BLOCKS FROM THE 5TH. ST. GYM .... MY KID BROTHER AND I WOULD GET ANGELO DUNDEE COFFEE DOWNSTAIRS AT THE DRUG STORE LUNCHONETTE. WE WATCHED ALI TRAIN FOR THE SONNY LISTON FIGHT AT THE MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION HALL ... HE WAS VERY FUNNY AND LOVED ANGELO HIS TRAINER. THE 5TH. ST. GYM WAS SMELLY, FUNKY, SWEATY , (NO AIR CONDITIONING) .... BUT I WISH I HAD ALL OF THOSE OLD FIGHT POSTERS THEY THREW AWAY. WE ALSO GOT TO MEET THE BEATLES WHO MADE A PUBLICITY STOP AT THE GYM TO MEET CASSIUS CLAY! THE BEATLES WERE DOING A CONCERT AT THE DEAUVILLE HOTEL ON COLLINS AVE, MIAMI BEACH. WE ALSO MET FRANK SINTARA WHO FILMED A SCENE FROM "TONY ROME" A DETECTIVE MOVIE ... SHECKY GREEN WAS THE BAD GUY IN THE MOVIE ... YOU CAN STILL GET THE MOVIE ... GREAT STUFF! ANYWAY IT WAS GREAT BEING A KID IN SOUTH BEACH ... I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD WIND UP IN LAS VEGAS ... THE OCEAN DESERT! I AM GLAD ALI IS NOT IN PAIN AND IN GOD'S HANDS NOW .... THANKS FOR VIEWING THIS POST .... RICH BURGEL
