I took a quick look now as the question raised by airtommy bugged me. I see no single match between Lombards WOT house and Villa Ipa (except a similar roof pattern). Obviously we had blinders on and just assumed that the wooden appearance similarities are all what it takes. Shame on us! Here is why I don’t think WOT Lombard house was Villa Ipa: the pool in WOT is clearly a swimming pool with a wooden bridge leading over it where the attacker approached Lombard (see pictures). In Villa IPA there is only a narrow style pool and I have Never Seen a Second Pool there. Also the room Lombard is sitting in seems to sit on top of a structure with (elevated?) walkways around it which is also not featured in RSOD. Just wooden interior is not enough! That raises the question of two unknown house locations in WOT (with one having an Anchorage Way Looking wall on the other side of the street) and I bet they were close to each other.

I will look into it tonight. It’s a pity that the posh house of Tubbs between the church and Villa IPA is gone. BTW let’s not forget that we still have the Mystery around Sal Lombards house in WOT! Al Lombard stands in front of it with a strange distance to the typical anchorage way wall (at least that’s what it looks like on the still below) behind him and we still do not know where this house with similar columns like the posh house and a big garden with huge Banyan trees and a pool diagonal to the house was.

I was bothered by the scene when Jack & Sonny go inside because it doesn't look like the wooden Villa Ipa interior at all. But we see the exact same room in "Rising Sun of Death" What I'm really leading up to is Lombard's house in "World of Trouble". It looks like the same style with a wooden interior, but I can't find any details to match up. And when the hit men drive up, it's definitely not Anchorage Way (no brick pavers). Can anybody find a single detail in Lombard's house that matches Villa Ipa in Rising and Jack?

Most Exciting - Definitely Miami Personal - Like a Hurricane (Here where I live, decades ago, Miami Vice broadcasts were cancelled out of nowhere, for many months. No guarantee it'd ever come back. Bad news enough to make a teen like I was depressed, no kidding. One day, broadcasts returned with Like a Hurricane!) Comedy - The Lost Madonna Most Interesting story - The Prodigal Son/Golden Triangle part I Emotional - The Burnett "Tetralogy" (I would add here Deliver Us From Evil to the trilogy) Disturbing/Darkest - Out Where the Buses Don't Run Best Drama - Red Tape

Most Exciting - Mirror Image Personal - Buddies/Definitely Miami (DM was one of the first episodes I ever saw, but not THE first - to me it sums up MV) Comedy - Made for Each Other Most Interesting story - God's Work Emotional - Deliver Us from Evil Disturbing/Darkest - Shadow in the Dark Best Drama - Out Where the Busses Don't Run As you'd expect, mine are a bit different.

Most Exciting: Pilot Personal: Also the pilot. I still remember watching the premiere as a teenager. Comedy: Phil the Shill Most Interesting story: God’s Work Emotional: Evan Disturbing/ Little Miss Dangerous Never forgot the crayon drawings Best Drama: Out Where the Busses Don’t Run My favorite overall.

Tonight I've been taking a close look at these 3 houses with the wooden interior (Jack of All Trades, Rising Sun of Death, World of Trouble). Starting with what we know: In "Rising Sun of Death" Castillo drives up to the house twice. The location can be pinpointed precisely by the fire hydrant and the house next door: Church / Chabad Rising Sun of Death house with wood interior house next door The tall vaulted slanted ceilings seen on satellite match with what we see inside. This 3715 Main Highway address on the production report is definitely wrong. This house was on Anchorage Way, not on Main Highway. 3713 Main Highway is now the Chabad. It was formerly the Bryan Memorial Methodist Church. It has always occupied the entire block of Main Highway frontage (3713 & 3715). Between the Chabad/Church and Villa Ipa was Tubbs' cover house in "The Lost Madonna". http://www.historicpreservationmiami.com/pdfs/bryan methodist.pdf When Castillo is inside, you can see the unique wooden sculpted doors: Same doors in "Jack of All Trades" and also you see the rug Castillo stood on:

But I agree with all of them!

Congrats! I have an '85 Mondial and an '03 360 - nothing beats the real thing! I did end up purchasing this car so let's see how it turns out!

I've been cutting my own hair for the better part of 17 years now (just gave myself a trim this morning actually) and I never tire of it. It's almost like re-inventing yourself every few weeks. As for the 5 o'clock shadow, just keep those clippers closed and hit your beard every other day, and you'll always have the look. Just make sure to still shave your neck and above the cheekbones to establish the lines. I love rockin' a similar style to Don during the cooler months of the year, but if I ever lose my hair someday, I'm going with the full Jason Statham look. Open clippers on the head, closed on the face. No guards, all zero, all the way. Da Staffe' may not have Don's hair, but he can still rock a casual suit like it's nobodies business.

I got an email from Automobile Magazine this morning. The email listed several stories from the magazine - one being "The Story Behind the 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder in Miami Vice". In discussing the two Daytonas, it says, "Since being tracked down and discovered, the former Miami Vice star car underwent a restoration and is now on display at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois. The other more polished example used for most of the shooting is apparently in the hands of a private collector." (I didn't realize that mine was "more polished".)
