Do you know when they were built?  They very much remind me of these condominiums near us in Long Beach. These were built in 1962.  It’s called the Portifino.

The Belle Plaza Condos in Miami Beach were also built in 1962.

DYKSTRA MEETS MAC GREGOR, TOMMY´s BOATYARD, 31 SE 5TH STREET

Tommy´s boatyard was an institution in Miami for over 50 years at the same address. This long gone boatyard was first used in Lend me an ear, then in Contempt of Court (Rivers´place) and in Freefall (Switek´s booby trap for Montoya´s men). all three times we see the same doors with the Miami River in the background and the same x-shaped wooden door pattern.5

The old pic below is from 1929 with the NE 2 Ave bridge in the background, which is the same view we see in Lend me an ear 58 years later.

view from Miami Ave bridge westwards. On the lower left of the current picture is the spot where Big Fish restaurant was located and razed a few years ago.

The background has changed dramatically. No highrises anywhere in 1987, lots of them now.
