Matt5 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Found ! An undiscovered Location from Season 5s "Too Much, Too Late" - when C&T arrest Swain outside the drug house. Thanks to the blu rays I recognised the apartment building next to the Savoy Hotel in the episode on the south side of Ocean Drive. A lot of this episode was filmed next door at 455 but we had never seen the Savoy Hotel at 425 Ocean Drive before which is the location of Swain's drug house @C Glide Edited June 9, 2017 by Matt5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) C&T were parked over the street on Ocean Drive - next to the Ocean Five Hotel (436 Ocean Drive) at 444 Ocean Drive at what is now Pappa E Ciccia. Look at the railings they are a perfect match Edited June 9, 2017 by Matt5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Great find Matt! I thought we would never find it. Always suspected mainland as the location looked too run down for South Beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Given that they decorated the apartment building to look bad, I doubt that the interior of the crackhouse was filmed there as well. Looks like an abandoned building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 That hotel in the opening teaser was discussed here: http://miamiviceonline.com/index.php?/topic/8431-california-locations/&page=3 I'm confident somebody will find this eventually.

C Glide Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yes, I had seen that, thank you. At some point I will plan a trip to CA and visit the Vice Spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 The house belonging to Val’s friend in the teaser and later when Sloane visits is definately Coconut Grove - I would say Charles, William or Thomas avenues. Charles looks like a strong possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles looks like a strong possibility. This house is very similar indeed - Coconut Grove, Elizabeth St and Florida Ave. (Over The Line teaser territory). Shows the style of house we are looking for and is in this area. Has a unique small section slanting down roof on the left side of the house and a very small window (which may have been modified).

I looked for this house last year. My opinion is that it was definitely in that neighborhood, but is probably gone now but not for certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Do you have reason to believe it's not the house? Similar in many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roof on the right hand side on the picture is not slanted as in the episode. Unlikely that just this one feature was altered. Also the L shaped outline of the house (the end of the „leg“ is on left hand side of the episode still) is missing. These two major changes are expensive and therefore very unlikely for budgets in this neighborhood even if general appearance looks right. That house definetely WAS in the Coconut Grove area given the looks and location clustering (interior was a studio set though). I have examined the whole neighborhood in detail years ago and have come to conclusion that it was either demolished or completely remodeled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks guys, I was in this area recently and will return again Saturday to visit Elizabeth Virrick Park ( “Fix”, “Too Much Too Late”). It really even now is not the best area to be walking around in, the property could have been demolished as you both mentioned. There are only a handful of new houses up I noticed as well as a handful of empty lots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Look at how much as been demolished between 1986 and 2015: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I am not surprised about the demolition rate. The only way to find the house IMHO is to check historicaerials for the significant top down house layout as seen in the episode. Together with the road access and the car escape scene at the end of teaser, the number of potential houses can be reduced considerably.

Just empty land. Charles Avenue has less empty lots. The house from “Bought and Paid For” on Plaza (which other episode did it appear in ?, Season 4) is in a sorry state of repair also.
