Tom Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 When watching "Rock and a hard place" the other day (for the 100th time I suppose), but this time for finding unknown locations, it struck me: the location at the end where Caitlin is nearly shot by the photographer and his model and Crockett arrests Freemont&Wiggins is the same house as Escalante´s at the end of "Over the line" during the Fixx song (I counterchecked with this ep of course to be sure)! I don´t get why I never noticed before:the same stone wall with arches and iron gates the same white/black tiled floorthe same garden including the access road and the bushes around.In this ep, Wiggins says the photo shooting is 2641 Wexford Road in Coral Gables (again a dirty lie to misguide us ), but in fact this house is3952 Douglas Road in Coconut Grove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 The "LA" Hotel Pool scenes and subsequent scene where Sonny is stopped in his rental car at the front of his hotel by the two thugs is The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Coral Gables at 50 Alhambra Plaza , Coral Gables.:DThis was the first time the series shot there and I wouldnt be suprised if the hotel suite was here too. This hotel was only a few blocks from The Westin Colonnade Coral Gables at Aragon Ave where they shot a lot of "The Lost Madonna" in Season 5.http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&sa=X&rlz=1C1SVEE_enGB441GB441&biw=546&bih=266&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=SBT3TWVqbfO2wM:&imgrefurl=http://www.hotel.info/en/hyatt-regency-coral-gables/hotel-54018/&imgurl=http://images.pegs.com/imageRepo/1/0/31/122/857/HY09964_Exterior_2.jpg&w=560&h=374&ei=IUQ7UNziDKar0QW3vICwDg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=240&vpy=-19&dur=889&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=166&ty=97&sig=117388746686015371008&page=2&tbnh=104&tbnw=141&start=10&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:10,i:108Pool area ( the unique curving at the end is what I searched for and matched up to the unique b/g buildings of the hotel )http://www.oyster.com/miami/hotels/hyatt-regency-coral-gables/photos/outdoor-heated-lap-pool-hyatt-regency-coral-gables-v196140/# 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotel forecourt2. Lobby area3. Pool terrace4. 14th floor5. Conference room. This is a very high end hotel in Coral Gables with beautiful locations.The Miracle playhouse was also featured briefly during the "Dirty Laundry " montage - which is on Miracle Mile, Coral Gables when the sleazy journalist was on the phone .http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Miracle_Theater_in_Coral_Gables_20100403.jpg at Miracle Man and Salzedo St. The Miracle is currently being renovated after falling into disrepair and doesnt look like the picture Im afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Some good establishing LA locations in this episode - most of the episode centres around the Hyatt Regency in Coral Gables . The restaurant where Sonny hits the photographer as he and Caitlin enter out of the limo reminds me of Miracle Mile in Coral Gables although I cant see a match .
