maggievice84 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Awesome pics and story, Bon (DJAngel)!Thanks, Bon - these pics and story are wonderful - just as I experienced it with you! It was beginning of a wonderful friendship and, oh yes, with Don, too! In addition to Don, the entire cast and crew were so kind to us and to this day, Bon and I feel so very fortunate to have "been there" at such an exciting time in television history!

miamijimf Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Great pics thanks. Some of those sites look drab compared to today. Vice had a lot to do with increased popularity and prosperity of the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJAngel Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Great pics thanks. Some of those sites look drab compared to today. Vice had a lot to do with increased popularity and prosperity of the area.Our last trip to Miami was Feb 1989. There were construction stands all up and down Ocean Drive. We wondered what was being planned. Of course, Miami Beach and Ocean Drive were soon going to be almost completely transformed into the way they look now. I returned to Miami Beach for the first time in Feb 2006. I had seen the pictures of the new Miami Beach, but I was still surprised at how much it had changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks' date=' Coop:DHere's another bit of memorabilia from our first trip to Miami. This is a business card from Mappy Restaurant on Ocean Drive. We went there for breakfast several times.

DJAngel Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 If you read the trip story you know we stayed one night at the Alexander Hotel because Holiday Inn sold our room before we arrived in Miami. Here's the suite at the Alexander we stayed in for that first night. I'm sure it's completely different now after 23 years. We felt like we were in heaven:happy: The MV Production Office was located at the Alexander.Me on the balconyLooking straight down from the balconyMargaret by bedroom window (no bad views) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
