英雄莫问出处：6个大品牌的诡异发源地

    泛美世界航空公司

    在20世纪的相当长时间里，纽约中央车站附近那座位于公园大道的地标性建筑，也就是现在的大都会人寿保险公司大厦，一直是泛美航空的总部。泛美曾经是全美最大的航空公司。

    但泛美航空的诞生地其实在佛罗里达州基韦斯特市。早在1927年，它就在那里提供来往古巴的客运和货运服务。这项服务使它成为“美国第一家有固定航程的国际航空服务公司”。1928年，泛美航空在迈阿密修建了泛美机场，后者现在是迈阿密国际机场的一部分。

    泛美航空在基韦斯特的木结构建筑，现在变成了凯莉加勒比烤肉啤酒吧，它的老板是曾出演过《壮志凌云》女影星凯莉•麦吉利斯。酒吧的机翼造型象征着此地在航空史中的重要地位。

    Pan American World Airways

    For much of the 20th century, the iconic office building spanning Park Avenue above Grand Central Terminal in New York, now the MetLife building, was the Pan Am building, home to what was once the largest air carrier in the country.

    But the Pan American company’s origins are in Key West, Fla., where beginning in 1927 it provided passenger and delivery service to and from Cuba. That service made it “the first United States international air service in scheduled operation,” according to the historic sign marking the spot. In 1928, Pan Am opened Pan American Field in Miami, on part of the land now occupied by Miami International Airport.

    The Key West wood frame structure is now Kelly’s Caribbean Bar Grill and Brewery, owned by Top Gun star Kelly McGillis, with its wing-shaped bar nodding to the spot’s place in aviation history.
