miamijimf Posted May 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Matt, good pic but traffic was not that light in the 70s during rush-hour. Now it's gridlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Elser Pier and Bayfront Park, 1917, Miami. 101 years ago! I wonder what the exact site of that pier is today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the exact site of that pier is today? That's the McAllister Hotel under construction, Miami's first "skyscraper" that opened in 1917. It was before Bayfront Park was created from landfill. The hotel was at the corner of Biscayne Blvd. and E. Flagler St. The corner is the same location today.

Matt5 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) This was posted to me on twitter today an interesting angle from above Miami Beach /Dade Bvld and Belle Isle/Venetian Islands. We see these locations in “Bought and Paid For”, “Lend me an Ear”, “Shadow in the Dark”, “God’s Work” and the opening credits of “Heart of Darkness” (Missing You)/ “Tale of the Goat”.

Matt5 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) This was sent to me on twitter today - a current day Downtown/ Brickell Key shot looking out to the Port of Miami and Miami Beach. A few locations here in some episodes - Brickell Key Bridge (“Smugglers Blues” / “Fruit of the Poison Tree”), Four Ambassadors buildings (“Trust Fund Pirates” and “Like a Hurricane”), Brickell Key Condo (“Indian Wars”). Port of Miami (“God’s Work”, “Heart of Darkness”, “Lost Madonna”) to name a few. Interesting photo as a different angle we see usually of this area so I thought I would share.

Matt5 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Some miscalleneous shots of the Venetian Cswy and the hotels along the shore there(Omni). One being the Doubletree seen in Season 4s “Death and the Lady”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 This current day shot is very similar to an angle we see in an episode (“Hit List” I think and a similar background we see in “One Eyed Jack”, “Baseballs of Death”) . Can anyone confirm the “Hit List” query we see this angle I think at the end of the episode after the hitman is shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
