Sjako Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi all,I just recently became a member and was amazed by the work which is put into this community website. My jaw really dropped when I looked into this shooting location section. Truly magnicficent work :clap:Now for the thought:I am making (future) plans for visisiting Miami and visit some off the location mentioned in the Google maps. Big question is which ones to visit Can we as a community come up with Top 15 places to visit? Criteria:Should be able to visit in a weekend tripShould still existThe result we could map into a new Google map for easy reference.More then happy to put the top 15 places in a poll after the first round of suggestions so that we can vote for them.Have a nice weekend!

The downtown area has built up considerably with ugly high rises which are half empty with tenants. If you have time hire a car and go up to Fort Lauderdale ans see the locations from "Phil the Shill" which shot North off the A1A - those locations are a real gem .

Sjako Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Great locations it seems! I've put them in a Google map:http://maps.google.nl/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=nl&msa=0&msid=117884002487089395617.000488c10bd490a30ffb2&ll=25.786908,-80.139771&spn=0.294913,0.610428&z=11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 There are a ton af great Miami Vice sites. Some biggies that were in multiple episodes but I think for your weekend trip you should go to sites that are special to you. Everyone has there own special episodes that have special meaning or impact on them and maybe those sites should hold the highest priority for you. Then of course there is always more weekends to be had in Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 http://maps.google.nl/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=nl&msa=0&msid=117884002487089395617.000488c10bd490a30ffb2&ll=25.786908,-80.139771&spn=0.294913,0.610428&z=11Yes - thats great - all are within reasonably easy use of each other and should be able to be visited over a course of a weekend. SofaJeremy is right - you should first visit the locations from episodes that are special to you . I mean the first time I went to Miami the first building I wanted to see was the Bank of America Tower ( which appeared in Season 3 - 5 Opening Credits ) it seemed like such an important location to me . It first appeared in "Florence Italy " then throughout the shows run including extensively in the 2006 MV movie . Its construction was seen right from the 4th episode of the Series ( "Hit List" ) . It seemed to symbalise the show from Seasons 3 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
