Matt5 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 A great photo from late 1975 down Biscayne - the white building to the close left is the old library which we see in the teaser “Florence Italy”. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Current day Port of Miami looking to Downtown and Brickell on a rainy day. Well it is the rainy season! Seen in “Heart of Darkness”, “Tale of the Goat”, “By Hooker By Crook”, “God’s Work”, “Like a Hurricane” and the 2006 Miami Vice movie to name a few.

miamijimf Posted February 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) From the internet. Former Miamians reminiscing about life in the 80s and explaining why they moved away. Sounds like Vice episodes. Circa 1980s. Does anyone remember the house on/near Killian Parkway that blew up? It was a hit ordered by Griselda Blanco on a member of a drug cartel, and 200 sticks of dynamite were used. It was around SW 100 ave. I remember a house on the corner of SW 66th St and 84th Ave. It blew up when someone was making drugs with ether. A 55 gal drum. It blew out the windows, lifted the roof and damaged surrounding homes. I lived on 82ave and 65th St. The guy ran through my yard and I caught up with him. He was shirtless and all of his skin was peeling. He ran to the 874 Xpressway. That's one of the reasons I left Miami on a hundred and 7th Avenue in 1980 a machine gun and the car driving down the road very fast shooting at another car and hit all kinds of buildings. The 7-Eleven the flower show the most side damage. It hit a restaurant but didn't kill anyone there but they were killing each other left and right. I was out in my yard I lived on 105th Court and thought it was Thunder. It was machine guns, I moved to Orlando I also remember a car blew up at the intersection of SW 87th Ave and Miller. It happened on a weekday morning around 5:00! I understand it was a hit! The car ended up hitting someone’s wall.

Matt5 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I like this one - a current day drone shot above the Sears Tower (Pilot, “One Eyed Jack”, “One Way Ticket” and others) looking down Biscayne. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Vigilante Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I was just on a cruise out of Lauderdale last week. We sailed past Miami late afternoon, which was gorgeous. I couldn't believe how the skyline has changed so much since my visit in about 2001. Thru my binoculars I was able to pinpoint some buildings/landmarks, but for the most part it's just a mess of highrises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted March 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Interesting pic. The inlet with the yacht is a remnant of the old Port of Miami. You can also see the Panorama building, tallest south of Manhattan. Been close to the top. Edited March 5, 2020 by miamijimf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 This is the Barbara Baer Capitman Memorial on Ocean Drive. In 1976 she started the movement to preserve the historic (mostly Art Deco) buildings in South Beach. In just a few years the bust has turned green from its original bronze, a testament to the heat and humidity in Miami. https://www.mdpl.org/visual-memoirs-project/barbara-capitman-memorial/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) A Nice aerial of Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas (“Whatever Works”, “Free Verse”, “One Way Ticket”, “Phil the Shill”) looking South from August 2009. Ok the sky has been tampered with color wise, but is still real neat. Edited March 11, 2020 by Matt5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bad we are considering flying to Tampa and driving over next trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
