Coconut Grove Pharmacy?

We received the following email from a reader from out of state. Perhaps someone locally knows what she is talking about. If you know about this painting, you can email us and we'll email her. I don't think the pharmacy is still there, but could it have been the playhouse? I think that used to be a pharmacy years ago.

I am researching a painting that we received as a wedding gift from a friend of my father’s. Our friend has now left the country, only to tell us prior to his departure that the artist had become well known after our friend had acquired the painting in some sort of bartering arrangement (I’m guessing a bet!).

The painting is a water color of Coconut Grove Pharmacy. It appears to have been painted in the late 1960’s or early ‘70’s and a billboard above the pharmacy says, “WGBS 710 NEWS”. I can not read the signature but looks something like “Fain zazz” or “Gain zazz” or “Jain zazz”.

Is the pharmacy still there? Can anyone help me? This piece has great sentimental value and some information on the artist would be wonderful.
