Before it was Specs music and FYE and soon-to-be a Walgreens, it was the 5th Street Gym. It was a place where Sugar Ray Leonard trained, where the Beatles did the famous photos with Ali punching them, it was where "The Fight Doctor" Ferdie Pacheco has many fond memories.

Ferdie celebrated the release of his latest book Tales from the 5th St. Gym at EL Scorpion Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar, is the newest restaurant by Zach Chodorow, on South Beach.
