I have seen tankers at the port in Manatee County on the W. Coast directly across the Gulf from Texas. Probably at the Port of Tampa also.

jpaul1 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 yeah that makes totally sense that with that proximity with Texas, these are located on the west coast. ty jim i have a bad news for you pals. i was testing Google earth, and it seems Castillo house is a .. ruin. i'm not sure about it, but it looks bad (see link). if a Miamian could investigate this, it would be a good thing. I'm not talking of invading a private property. just go there with a camera, see if there's any fence, and do 4 - 5 shots. a 2 - 3 minutes affair max https://earth.google.com/web/@25.7180944,-80.24581273,1.91966515a,46.04190711d,35y,-148.87240104h,61.32027563t,0r/data=ClUaUxJNCiUweDg4ZDliN2Q5YTFlY2YxZDk6MHgxMWU2NzE4ZGM1OGZmMTRiGQQ9L3DUtzlAIXwOhwC7D1TAKhIzMzUxIFBvaW5jaWFuYSBBdmUYASAB if for some reason the link doesn't work for you, 3351 Poinciana Ave, Miami FL 33133.

Matt5 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Nice current day looking South on Biscayne Bvld to Downtown. This is an unusual angle featuring the Sears Tower and the new buildings here. We see this stretch directly in the front part of the photo in the Pilot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Glad they kept the Tower. I remember it from the Pilot and first seeing it in the background. It was in the back ground of several vice episodes as well as the movie- Tony Rome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok the sky has been tampered with color wise, but is still real neat. I lived in the penthouse of Birch Tower, the cream colored building with pastel green stripe up the center from 2001 to 2006. My base of operations for a lot of my Vice location hunting. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Here's an old photo of the Casablanca Hotel 6345 Collins Ave, probably early 50s. It's still there. I think the front with the unique statues/columns looked the same in 84 when you see the hotel briefly in Heart of Darkness. The logo you see at the top of the building in Vice is the same as you see in this old photo. Is this unique front captured somewhere in Vice? Can't find it. If it wasn't, it should have been since it is striking and cool looking. Heart of Darkness: Edited April 16, 2020 by miamijimf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Quote Florida's kitschy 1980s glory is encapsulated in a new exhibit called 'Peculiar Paradise: Florida Photographs by Nathan Benn' at the HistoryMiami Museum. The exhibit features 100 photos by Benn, a Miami native and former National Geographic photographer. Some of the colorful, and often times strange, images were shot in 1981 which is the same year that Time magazine called South Florida 'Paradise Lost.' The exhibit ended in 2019, but some of the photos can be seen here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6365927/Enchanting-exhibition-looks-Florida-1980s-including-Mar-Lago-Trump.html https://www.sun-sentinel.com/entertainment/events/sf-florida-peculiar-paradise-historymiami-museum-20181107-story.html Two short videos here: https://www.historymiami.org/exhibition/a-peculiar-paradise-florida-photographs-by-nathan-benn/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Glide Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 The house pictured on the cover I find significant as not only was it featured in the movie The Specialist, (Stone's house) but it was also the site of the first movie filmed in Miami. It was built in 1920 on the set of, and exact location of an identical looking set house that had been built for the movie, The Jungle Trial. Filmed in 1919 it was the first Miami Movie. John Seybold (a familiar name to fans of The Maze) liked the set house, Hindu Temple, so much that after the set was torn down he built this house on the site of the set house (1920). First taken there by DanJ about 13 years ago as it is very close to Madeline's house from Burn Notice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
