As we know the interior party scene was filmed at Hamilton On The Bay condos - NE34th street in Miami , I visited these condos on my last extended vacation to the Miami area in February which was a treat. I believe I'm the only Vicer to have been inside this location ?

Here are some photos from that visit - these show the exact location of the bar/party scene :hippie:

Amazing stuff.....I could not discern this even now, other than perhaps the overhead railing.

Appreciated Sonny :thumbsup: I believe I'm the only Vicer to be inside this building and with Jeremy's shots from the episode - I wanted to confirm this location .

The party scenes were shot in the SW of the tower on the ground floor - it wasn't overly difficult to find as the rail bars over head were in only two corners . Then if you notice in the episode still just in front of the beautiful girl you see a triangular shape unit which is shown in my photo I took also - In my photo I was standing where the bar area was creating the same angle in that scene :hippie:

The St.Moritz featured in this late Season 2 episode - six years before Miami Vice filmed in this then empty hotel. This archive photo is from 1980.:hippie:

From the end credits of this fine Spring 1986 episode towards the end of Season 2 -“Free Verse” starred Byrne Piven as Hector Sandoval (Poet), Piven had more screen time in this episode than anyone else including Johnson, Thomas and Olmos.

Are we 100.00% sure the hospital scenes were filmed at a set?  I believe CGlide has the script for this ep, so he must be correct.  But I'm just amazed at how elaborate the hospital set was.  They even incorporated a nice big elevator into it.

Not 100% - but I’m pretty sure they are a set, as im aware they only filmed two episodes in hospitals in Season 2 (“Prodigal Son”, “Yankee Dollar”) at Jackson Memorial.

found very rare old pics of the St. Moritz Hotel before complete reconstruction in the early 1990s (pictures taken in 1992). Comparisons with the episode can seen below as well. Click to enlarge.

Does anyone remember the colorful building behind Sandoval that we took for a Miami Vice painr job?

It was not. This cool paint job was a small art gallery called Hyperspace -as reveaöed by the article with photo below - that opened in 1985 when Lincoln Road was revived with art galleries and cafes. It was at 629 Lincoln Lane North and was also visible in Stone´s war (where the Testarossa with Stone and Crockett escaped under a truck)
