Matt5 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Picked this still up a few weeks ago from a post by @RedDragon86 a still from Season 3-5. When I looked at it you don’t often see this lush greenery and a slightly bigger grass area to where we see in other establishing driving shots. We don’t know the episode it’s from exactly yet?! This is Collins Avenue opposite 5401 Collins (Carriage House) heading southbound towards the 5330 block. The small park is still there. It’s a lot wider than the other verges on Collins between here and 41st St. In pic 1 and 2 please see the purple circle showing the drain, yellow arrow a small stepped area and the off blue arrows showing the two paths we see. The building circled orange in the third picture shows the condo we see in “Freefall” during the teaser as the aerial goes over Miami Beach this park is directly in front of this building. @miamijimf Thanks to @Tom @airtommy Edited March 9, 2019 by Matt5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we see very little in the terms of houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Am I right that the only way to visit Gate D12 at the airport (Yankee Dollar, Free Verse) is to fly in or out of Concourse D? You can't have a flight leaving from Concourse B and get to the airport early and visit D first, can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have a flight leaving from Concourse B and get to the airport early and visit D first, can you? It’s not as easy as it once was, a few weeks ago I noticed a lot of changes and development with parts of the airport closed.They changed a lot of the security this year for example you go through security checkpoint E and you fly from Concourse E. I was lucky enough in 2014 to fly from Concourse D on an international flight from Miami. Here are some pictures and of gate 12 you can still pick some things up like the white circular posts and the size of that area of the concourse we see in the “Yankee Dollar “ and “Free Verse” teasers.

airtommy Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 On my next flight to Miami I'm going to hijack the plane. They're going to ask "Where do you want to go?" and I'll tell them, "Still going to Miami, just switch from Concourse B to Concourse D. Actually, it looks like American Airlines flies in and out of D gates a lot on domestic flights, so that would be the more prudent method of visiting this location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) If you were at least a teenager in the early 70s, regardless of nationality you will remember Watergate, one of the biggest scandals in American history. But did you know there was a strong Miami connection? Figures. Of course this is how G.

miamijimf Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Here is an interesting article about Bob Marley, the Reggae singer who likely inspired the episode The Big Thaw. Bob Marley had a house in South Dade, frequently performed in Miami, and died there in 1981. His son even played for the UM football team. I really like Marley's music. It can be heard in The Big Thaw, and Cool Runnin'. PMT had the Jamaican accent down pat. One of the reasons I am drawn to Vice is that it not only shows my hometown back in the 80s but reflects Miami culture and events. This link also gives you access to a recording of his complete show in 78 at the Jai Alai Fronton. http://flashbackmiami.com/2016/05/10/bob-marley-reggae-music-king-dies-in-miami/ Edited March 22, 2019 by miamijimf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading about him recently and his illness (cancer) where he fell ill on a flight and he was transferred to Miami. He never mentioned Miami in his music his homeland Jamaica sure I think he had a house there too. Are you back in the Miami or Lauderdale area in April or May Jim would be great to see you.

Matt5 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) This was sent to me yesterday a 1980 aerial looking north of North Beach with the 63rd St bridge, Carillion Hotel and Ocean Terrace. A much used area by Miami Vice from Seasons 1 through 5 featured in many episodes. “Heart of Darkness”, “Made for Each Other”, “Definately Miami”, “Better Living Through Chemistry”, “Contempt of Court” and “Hard Knocks” to name some.

Matt5 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 To many of us Miami and Florida is an area where we spend a lot of time over the years and we know it with our eyes closed. This was sent to me today on an overcast day and I realised I don’t know where this was or couldn’t immediately recognise any buildings till I looked closer. Shows how Miami is changing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes terribly sad - there has been a trend in last year or so of people firing and shooting at cars on causeways in Miami at night. This is the 6th or so instance. This was particularly relevant as a major Miami Vice location. (Julia Tuttle Cswy). Edited April 1, 2019 by Matt5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
