A completely different angle but where our hero’s meet Izzy for the last time in this famous scene. My first guess was Yage on Rickenbacker (Yankee Dollar, Walk Alone) but then you said Miami Beach so that was ruled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagler, let me know if La Liberdad is still there. Wife and I might have to come down for a colada this spring. Interested to know if it’s still there as well. Just booked our hotel stay at the Breakwater this May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Breakwater Hotel is still looking like it’s doing well, several other Ocean Drive hotels are closed including The Tides (over 2 and a half years now).

ZAQ 178 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Tides was closed when I was there in May. The Cardozo was under renovations and I guess it still is currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadrian Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I find myself noticing the progress of that building in various shots throughout the first two seasons, and all the way to completion in the season 3 opening montage. It’s kind of a symbol of the show itself in that way for me, as I see the third season as where the show didn’t make any more progress forward. I don’t mean that negatively, but quite the contrary. Seasons 3-5 were still the most unique and distinguishable structures in television city. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Dadrian it even came full circle being seen a number of times ( and trailers) in the Miami Vice big screen movie. The first time we see this building lite up and operational is in the teaser of “Florence Italy” , then a number of times in Season 3, a lot less in Seasons 4-5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) I do really like the views we see of Miami and areas in Seasons 4 and 5 from 1987-1989. They are different and less well known but show a good cross sections of the area. Miami is not all pretty Art Deco it has a rich and a very poor divide with good and bad problems then and today . The show highlighted that well from 1987-89 and was a lot less fluffy than the earlier seasons imo.

Matt5 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) It’s been quite cold in last few days in the Miami Area, this was last night in Miami Shores actually on North Bayshore Drive. The Pink House seen in “Mirror Image” and “No Exit”(Three Eyed Turtle”) was only 3 houses north of this picture. My picture shows the stretch Sonny aka Burnett zoomed off in in the Season 4 finale “Mirror Image”/ and boat chase scenes in “Gods Work”. To the far left (and just out of picture) is the Jockey Club building (“Prodigal Son”, “World of Trouble”, “Made For Each Other”). Sometimes cold days and grey skies make striking images.

airtommy Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Did they film a Vice scene at one of the warehouses backing up to the railroad tracks where the railroad cuts across town between 6th St & 7th St? https://goo.gl/maps/rfMWsNFemQk I thought there was one, maybe in a later season? Maybe I'm mistakenly thinking about "Rising Sun of Death" which turned out to be west of I-95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other sources Miami was the second fastest growing big city in America in 2018.

Get out to North Beach, Coral Gables or Coconut Grove it’s much quieter, so much less development and a hell of a lot cleaner.

airtommy Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Old article on the Atlantis Condo (Hit List, Viking Bikers From Hell), the Towers of Quayside (One Way Ticket, Cuba Libre, Like a Hurricane), and Turnberry Isle (Golden Triangle, Phil the Shill, Junk Love) Where Luxury Has No Bounds by Dee Wedemeyer March 14, 1982 https://www.nytimes.com/1982/03/14/realestate/where-luxury-has-no-bounds.html "Mr. Swedroe's first three towers at Turnberry Isle are white, concrete and in a z-shape. The shape helps shorten the length of the corridor, places eight of 11 apartments on a corner and makes the building appear smaller. " Interesting idea. Those condos are unique! "At one development, The Towers of Quayside, security costs $700,000 a year, or $700 a unit." That was a lot of money in 1982! Those are the guys who denied me the opportunity to look around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Not Golden Triangle. Yes the buildings you see in the background are definitely Miami. Maybe I should have put this in the Location Trivia area but Vice never used this spot. Vice did use a recently discovered nearby wooded area. This spot appears several times in Burn Notice.

Looks like Matheson Hammock Park (Freefall) to me. You can see 1925 Brickell and the trees that line the Rickenbacker Cswy on the south side. Cool shot Jim - I’ve seen this before online.

Yes one hell of a zoom, the park sadly has seen hurricane damage and some of the palm trees are not there any longer around the small circular beach. The image has been enhanced and retouched considerably to get those colors. Miami Vice shot very close to here in “Bought and Paid For” on the Arvida Parkway (General’s home) and of course in “Freefall” they shot in the west side of this very same park.

miamijimf Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Yes it's Matheson Hammock Park, beach and marina, 9610 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables. This was Dade County's first park. Here is a similar, older shot. This is CGlide's image of the entire park. On the right you see the round tidal basin/swimming hole with a distant view of downtown. The arrow points to where, in the beginning of Freefall, you see Guzman tied to a tree after capture by Colombian Cartel. It is the W. end of the Forrest Trails that my friends and I used to explore. Most likely this area was also the scene of the rescuer's field camp later in the episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the rescuers camp and the stone hospital area (greenhouse) was just slightly east of the wooded area seen early in the episode. Some scenes where Tubbs was driving around with the young woman were also filmed in the west side of this park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
