Flip this shot looking south it’s how we saw Ocean Drive in “The Dutch Oven” as we saw the two babes cross the street as Sonny played cards with his old friends. Thank you for sharing! I love seeing these pictures of Miami from the 80's. There sure isn't much action/activity on the streets. It needs some Miami Vice atmosphere.

This was taken Christmas Day, 1983 and if you think by March 1984 “Miami Vice” was in pre-production and filming on Ocean Drive. This photo makes me think of Season 2s “Dutch Oven” and Season 5s “Asian Cut”(with the teaser filmed along the first 3 hotels in the photograph). I think Ocean Drive looked fantastic at that time in 1983. Edited June 22, 2018 by Matt5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer84 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) It looks like the picture could have been taken early in the morning. There are a lot of cars parked all the way along side the ocean drive hotels. And one person can be seen on the far left. Great to see, how it all actually looked and yes it's incredible to think, that Miami Vice would be shooting there only three months later. Would be great to see more of these pictures!

I agree they are special these 1980s shots of Miami - this one in particular as so close to Miami Vice starting as we both mentioned.

Matt5 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) A few more of Ocean Drive - these date from the 1970s, all of these buildings feature in Miami Vice. The Revere and The Waves I remember seeing in “Hit List” and early episodes. Edited June 24, 2018 by Matt5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Another close up of Freedom Tower (not sure when this was taken due to color of FT - pink?) - looking out to the MacArthur Cswy and 1000 Venetian Way (“Heart of Darknes” and “By Hooker By Crook”).

miamijimf Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 It looks pretty run down. Must have been before it was refurbished and turned over to Miami-Dade College. Also Matt please let us know when you plan to be in the Magic City again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Compare this recent pic of the mouth of the Miami River. With this one river shot in 1884 looking towards the Bay. Gives you an idea of just how new this city and country are. Edited June 30, 2018 by miamijimf 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
