Great work - remember my great recreation shots from "Bad Timing " on Krome Avenue/177th ( Sonny motorbike) when you do that episode in a few time Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Well I got back very early this morning from Miami and had to work today so I am just getting started going thru the nearly 700 pictures I took over my three day trip. Lots of great MV and BN locations visited and photographed. Great trip with lots of great people to tell you about but I will start with this location. On my location site I will post allot of the pictures in an expanded section on this scene. I already posted one shot on facebook while I was in Miami. Good news for anyone wanting to go here. The building will remain in it's current state with no plans to change the exterior. When I arrived I did not know what to expect being a small hotel with limited parking. I approached the bartender right away who was at first apprehensive until I related that Miami Vice had filmed there and I was there to shoot some re-creation shots if it were okay. Turns out she is a huge MV fan and she and some of her friends that were at the bar had been in the area since the 70's. My arrival caused quite a stir and she even called the hotel's owner. I got full access to do whatever I wanted and took numerous great re-creation shots. I showed them screen captures and behind the scenes photos on my lap top. They confirmed that that was how the bar looked back then. Some even recognized some of the extras and the bartender even knew the bartender from the time Vice filmed the scene. It was a great time and enjoyed reliving the vice scene. One of many great stories that came out of the trip. Vice fans truly are exceptional and super nice. I will get organized and post photos soon. I believe anyone who visits to photograph and relive the Vice experience will get a warm welcome. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 While we are fortunate the Beachside Hotel will remain it appears that two of the hotels we see in the background are gong away soon. Glad I got down there. see link http://www.sun-sentinel.com/business/fl-lauderdale-by-sea-new-resorts-20140324,0,2799773.story 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Flaming0 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I have updated the related page on my location web site: http://www.miamivicelocations.org/page8.htmlI'm still in ah that this location has been verified and located. I never thought in a bazillion years it would have been, awesome! Just a thought Charlie but I was wondering if you have plans to do an ebook of all these locations with added stories of how you were able to locate them? Most likely it would be difficult with picture copy rights etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Interesting idea. Right now I will continue thru to complete all episodes on my site. I am going to add a master list of all locations by geographic area as I have been keeping a running log as I do my site. I should probably relate some of the stories of finding the locations here as finding them is more than half the fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 The " 59th Street bridge" from the Eddie explosion scene - just across the tracks from Overtown in Downtown Miami. Not a great area. 2014 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilders Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Holy crap they have knocked down the building behind where Crockett parked to do the deal with CorkyCheck Google Maps for "61 NW 13th St, Miami, Florida"It even had a brightly painted sketch of someone underneath a building with their big red shoes sticking out. You can still see remnants of the green grass on some of the rubble.Edit: please see Matt5's post above which he actually shared for me before. Is it supposed to be Ronald McDonald?

Bilders Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 And unfortunately the Hotel at the end of Part 1 doesn't have many good reviews: http://www.yelp.com.au/biz/lauderdale-beachside-hotel-fort-lauderdale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilders Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 The building used to say 'Sheila Shone'. When you search this in Google, it automatically maps it to the location as 'Pan American Chemical Co'. Funny how it is almost an 'alias' I am pretty sure this is what was written there since the Pilot was filmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have updated this "episode" on my website with new photos from my recent trips to NYC as well as a correction. I had been a block off on the location of the drug deal where Tubbs saw his brother killed. Fixed now that I went there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Nice pictures. Did you use a tripod for the last one? It's really strange that they went all the way to Fort Lauderdale to film this scene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really strange that they went all the way to Fort Lauderdale to film this scene. No tripod - just a hand held digital camera.Yes they did indeed go all the way up to Fort Lauderdale - in fact past Fort Lauderdale to Lauderdale by the Sea. This location is closer to Pompano Beach - Hillsboro Beach ( "Phil the Shill" ) than some other Fort Lauderdale locations used during the series run, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
