Yeah it apparently will. It was originally scheduled for the 2018/2019 TV season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are trying to get it right - and by look of the trailer and linking it into the Miami Vice 1984 pilot episode they are trying to be faithful to our show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 A different angle for us , which was sent to me overlooking Bayside from Biscayne Bvld out to the Port of Miami. A current day sunrise shot. Happy New Year everyone here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Some good historical detail on Bayfront Park where the old Miami library was located and Bayside stands today. There are good pictures also from way before and during Vice’s period of filming also, check it out! http://flashbackmiami.com/2015/04/08/bayfront-park/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Very nice Matt. Since you brought up Bayfront Park: Here is another good history of the park by my old college prof., Dr. George. http://www.bayfrontparkmiami.com/ParkHistory.html Also the park has a little known memorial to Dade County residents who gave their lives for their country during WWII. My father's name, Charles Staubach, is one of 553 names inscribed on both sides of that monument. That's a lot of folks for a relatively small town that Miami was in those days. Here is a screen cap from Bing Maps that shows where on the park it is located as well as a photo of the monument.

And some homeless guy appeared suddenly out of nowhere but we shooed him away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Bayfront Park is supposed to have a tropical rock garden and waterfall. I can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know if it's still there and where it is? http://www.bayfrontparkmiami.com/Facilties.html Another question: in "Nobody Lives Forever" we see steps leading into the water. Are they still there? Edited January 13, 2019 by airtommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 The rock garden, waterfall, and lovely vegetation etc was destroyed by the renovation in the 80s. I have pics. It used to be a tropical oasis in downtown but that's long gone. Don't know about the steps, do they show up on google, bing maps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website I linked claims there is a rock garden now. This link indicates there was one in 2007. http://www.miamigov.com/capitalImprovements/ProjectReports_1_4_2007/B-30200.pdf But I can't find it on satellite.

miamijimf Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Don't think the rock garden renovation reported on that web site ever happened. The photos on the site look like the old garden before the 80s destruction, or so called renovation. I have been to Bayfront Park several times since 07 and have never seen a new rock garden. The garden was never really large because it is not prominent in any of the old pics I have of the park. I think it changed a lot over the years. Here are several old pics of the garden/landscaping/pond. Edited January 13, 2019 by miamijimf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed well done , Sunset Harbour Yacht Club on Bay Road. A completely different angle but where our hero’s meet Izzy for the last time in this famous scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
