miamijimf Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Best photo of the Everglades I have seen. I remember being inside at least once in the 60s. Seemed a little dated and seedy. Interestingly in 1958 it was saved from financial ruin by Jimmy Hoffa. Maybe he was there when it was demolished? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I dont think Miami Vice ever filmed in here - they used The Sasson and The Carillion - but it did feature in some exterior shots . Same as Wolfies they shot outside a lot - hard to believe they never shot in the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
