So the furthest building in the bg would be the sears in the mall. Limo going thru the 40 blk of Miracle Mile westbound. Trees, crosswalk, parking, etc. all match up but the buildings are different fronts so I have not been able to confirm. Low white wall is one still there going around mall. Yes Jeremy - I can see the low white wall around the mall in front of Sears and this would mean the camera was on Miracle Mile as the limo was heading west over S.Douglas - seems to match up as you say. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@25.7497733,-80.2549652,3a,75y,40.98h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slTLD6HwBIbZf59C6fTHvvQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 Edited April 30, 2017 by Matt5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 On Miracle - we must see a close up of this doorway as the limo heads W down the block - the small park we see opposite the Sears mall/ low white wall looks like it was also there in the fall of 1987 - not quite as developed but still there https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@25.749787,-80.2555665,3a,37.5y,349.76h,84.13t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1ssODD6YWrpHEJHWMYQJ_juw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 In the screen capture of your last post of the limo. I believe that building/entranceway is of the building right/east of this building/doorway you have linked to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I am not so sure that is a white wall, it looks like it might be a street. This sure looks like Miracle Mile. Another possibility driving eastbound at the western end at Le Jeune (42nd). Edited May 1, 2017 by airtommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Consulate was near the studio as mentioned previously ?!- such a distinctive building. And remember we saw this building in Season 1s "Milk Run" which again shot all over Miami but not in Coral Gables. When you wrote "Milk Run", did you mean "Rites of Passage"?

airtommy Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) I studied this closely last night and I'm 99% sure it's the west end of Miracle Mile driving eastward. Storefronts do change radically sometimes, but a few of these seem to be unchanged 30 years later.

airtommy Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) The biggest challenge was concentrating on the location and ignoring Sheena as she sat in the limo looking scrumptious. The newsstand seems fake. I wonder if that neon sign might lead us to the location. A word or name ending in "lachs"?

C Glide Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I ran that sigh thru Sunbiz checking for any Florida LLC INC LLP LFC etc. Zip zero nada. it is a mystery, I had one guy e-mail me sometime ago stating he knew it was this news stand in LA but when I checked it out it definitely was not it. False lead. Good mystery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A word or name ending in "lachs"? They filmed two night scenes on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, so I looked around there. I found a perfect spot on the SE corner of Salzedo & Miracle Mile. It has an awning wrapping around the corner. It has a concrete overhang. It is steps from where they filmed the payphone scene at the Miracle Theater. This spot makes perfect sense: HOWEVER . . . trying to find a confirming detail, I look at the 1986 aerial and I notice there is a perfectly matching striped awning at a different corner of that intersection. Across the street from the striped awning is California Pizza Kitchen at 300 Miracle Mile.
