Park Central - part of the current "old Deco" thread

This trip was different then the past 2...It wasn`t as warm..and it rained for 4 days straight(the last 4 days) ...Rendering the convertible almost useless...with high winds and localized flooding..I`m watching Dutch Oven at the moment so here are a few shots of Park Central 640 Ocean Drive.Where Sonny plays cards.[ATTACH=CONFIG]6817[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]6818[/ATTACH]

Guys who have been reading the Deco hotels thread:I've found the post I was thinking of re the cards scene - see above. I wasn't sure if I could cut/paste to our current thread :)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]6967[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]6969[/ATTACH]The weather was pretty bad while we were there.. So we decided to stop at Macs Club Deuce.... According to bartenders and locals it is the oldest bar in Miami.... Mac owns it and is still alive and well.As far as I know.The neons were put in as props for "Hard Knocks"He asked if he could keep them and was able to. The bar is almost unchanged.And is a nice little place that remindes me of some of the places in my home town... We went there 3 times while we were there.Cool place

Nice shots, from the Lighthouse beach?  I'm wondering if they are they still standing today?  :cool:

These are seen in Out Where the Busses Don't Run. and perhaps elsewhere though not recalling.

If you walk around to the southern tip of Key Biscayne (yes, near the lighthouse, but the lighthouse is more on the east side of the island, if I remember correctly) you can see Stilstville. Those places were still there in 2016, at least.

Cool thanks.  This is on my Miami bucket list if I ever get down there... maybe this year. I know the lighthouse is seen as the safe house location in the Calderone ep and is seen in the Burnett arc, and the adjoining keeper's house is where we see El Gato. I only recall Stiltsville though in OWTBDR.

Still there.  The recent hurricane only did some minor damage to one or two Stiltsville houses.  Those are some tough buildings but from what I read, not enough attention/resources is being given to their preservation.

Another issue, someone asked me why the City of Darmstadt Crest on my signature.  I was there for three years, loved it, my best tour in the Army.

I’ve always wondered some of the “no land in sight” scenes were filmed around or even anchored by some of the Stiltsville houses. It would give the crew something stable for all their operations, and would certainly give the “out at sea” feel on screen.

Thanks Jim. Pretty cool logo and I did notice it. I've spent a number of weeks in Germany back in the day and it is a beautiful country.
