From the Pilot, The turtle shell tiki bar where Leon gets wacked. There is an abundance of clues yet it stays hidden.First, the name. I believe based on the plactic drink glass seen in the scene that the name of the place was Hock's Turtle Shell Tiki Bar.The beach does not have a buffer of beach grass between the building and the sandy beach. It may at first seem like that would not be a big deal but it is fairly rare in this area. The beach is what I will call a mid width beach. About 50 yards of sand is my guesss. Narrower than South Beach but I think likely wider than allot of Key Biscayne which is an area w/o grass between the water and the buildings. Now there have been dredgeing programs since Vice time to build up the beaches so things may have changed all though the grass sittuation likely has not.There is a short beach wall at the start of the property.To me the building clearly appears to be a hotel with a unique look.The pool is also distinctive. A large what I will call lip and a semi-circular shaped staircase into the water that if the pool still existed would be visible I believe from sat. view.The building next door is also identifiableThis has been much harder to find than it should be so lets get it solved:thumbsup: This post from 5 years ago I look back on today as I watched the Pilot on Blue Ray now and it stuck out to me on Blue Ray that the cup says Ho Jo's. I have a feeling that the Blue Ray will help find locations as there is a big difference. I also notice that the nighttime scenes have been lightened up, at least the shadows, so much more of the background is visible. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 C Glide, Did you ever consider doing the movie - The Perez Family, 1995, with Marisa Tomei ? Very funny, good shots of the Orange Bowl, and very realistic. Shows the Cuban migration to Miami from the perspective of the immigrants. An important chapter in Miami's history.

I agree the evidence is overwhelming! Arguments in favor of this house: convenience for filming - it's very close to the yacht club and McCarthy's house matching shape and uncommon red color of driveway with exact same tile pattern to the right of the doorway: curved wall for staircase to the left of the doorway: flat wall perpendicular to doors Not tossing cold water on anything. But that isn't red tile. It's just colored concrete and the pattern is hand pressed into the mud with a tool just after it's poured. We have a ton of driveways like this in OC, California. But the other data is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Those of you that like a location challenge, where was this scene from The Perez Family filmed?

I just looked at the restaurant's prices and had a heart attack. Edited January 20, 2017 by airtommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks airtommy and Matt. Here's a tough one for all you sleuths. Where in the Gables is this house? I've been searching without luck through the old section near Coral Way that seems most likely. Along with the house pics are other shots, probably the same street or nearby. My guess is the speed zone is for a school, might be a hint. The last pic w/ the lady cop is the front yard. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 What movie is this from? To me, it feels more like Coconut Grove rather than Coral Gables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's the Gables, check the ornate lamp post in the 3d pic from the top - typical of the Gables at intersections. They say in the movie it's the Gables, which might or might not be worth something. Edited January 20, 2017 by miamijimf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Cool pic! I'm impressed that you got into one of those buildings for that overhead shot. That was a heavy scene down on that dock, a conversation between Crockett & Tubbs. Edited February 9, 2019 by airtommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that 3rd pic, way off in the distance you see two stop signs and what looks like a green field. That field could be part of the school in question. I've read that Coral Gables has its street signs down on the ground at the curb. Try re-watching the scene looking for those.

miamijimf Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Thanks Tom, yes those Gables stone street markers are unique. Haven't seen them yet but I'll look again. There is a good chance that the huge banyan tree is still there, the Gables has rules against removing trees. Unfortunately there are many trees like that but if they haven't changed the house much finding it is just a matter of time.
