CarolineUK Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Having been on Jeremy's site, I saw he still hadn't found the location for the scene where after meeting up with Izzy, C&T walk to the car. This is from 17:17 in the episode.I have searched the area of Downtown Miami using Bing & Google street maps but haven't found that particular corner. Looking at the episode on my laptop I've found some clues to the location IF they weren't items added by the MV production team. The vehicle is parked beside a restaurant with an awning, & it is called La Cibeles. To its right is a one-hour printing shop and on the corner is a fashion store which says "Yes - Si - Oui" on the window. When Sonny sits in the vehicle, there is a sign over his shoulder mentioning Universal Foot Center in English and in Spanish. I've struck out with all these names except for the restaurant: there is one with the same name near Flagler, at 105 Northeast 3rd Avenue. On the restaurant's site there are no decent outdoor shots of the street and sadly Google streetview doesn't stretch down this small street. From what the guys said when I was last over in Miami, the downtown area has changed a lot since Vice days. It was worth a shot though & maybe someone from the area can remember these places.I'll now try to find the Izzy meeting C&T area which Jeremy believes may be on Washington. Will keep you informed on progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep you informed on progress! Good work. If you found a restaurant with the same name chances are it's the same area. I looked at it and an on foot recon may be the only way to find it. Jeremy is so good at sleuthing, any location he lists as unknown will be difficult. Not impossible but difficult. There are plenty of unknown locations in episodes he hasn't got to yet.

CarolineUK Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 With fresh eyes, I had another look around the area where the restaurant is located. In fact they must have moved premises, just a few hundred yards away. If you look at the two photos below, you can see they match even though the current Google Earth view is higher than the camera angle in MV. The building in the distance on the lefthandside matches still. On the building closest to C&T, the glass panes above the awning level also match across the decades. The scene was filmed on NE 2nd Street at NE 3rd Avenue in Downtown Miami. THEN:NOW: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah, that is the spot. I looked at that spot for some time and had ruled it out because so much had been changed. Now that you posted it I went back and took another look. There is enough still there to confirm that it is the correct spot. Well done, I had passed on it so I am glad you solved it.I will update the site right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I looked at it too. Good work Sue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolineUK Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thanks Jim & Jeremy. I had great fun & its amazing how much you can learn from looking in the reflection of store windows and in the reflection of the gleaming side of Sonny's car. When playing the scene on my laptop to stop it for screen captures, you also notice the crowd built up who are watching the action!On to Washington Ave now for the scene before this one!

Matt5 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I was watching the boat scenes from this episode and the songs by Glenn Frey and the second one "Heartbeat " - in the first song by Glenn Frey you see a shingle entrance line to a harbour is that Coconut Grove ? Looks almost like Govt Cut in the background but looks more out to see - have a look if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Nice shot Matt. I remember those unique wall decorations. I believe that was a location trivia question. Would be nice to get that back some day. I tried for a while but ran out of original photos to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Glide Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Yeah, nice eye! I remember seeing that arch in a number of eps. I can't remember them, but perhaps the opening scene of "Out Where the Buses Don't Run" was one of them.This circular arch was a big clue in aiding me to find the location of Sonny's sit down with Caroline and her Lawyer in Cool Runnin'. That was the first time I remember it being used. It was seen in the background out the window as they were talking and it helped me discover the location years ago when I was new to location sleuthing. It has since had use in Burn Notice including one shot of the front shooting past The Victor exactly as the camera was set up and pointed in Miam Vice making me wonder if it were done intentionally. Needless to say this round gate has special appeal to me for it's role in MV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 3067 Jefferson Street , Coconut Grove ( "Nobody Lives Forever" pool scenes and "Shadow in the Dark " end scenes ) Did you sneak in Ninja style, Cloak yourself in an invisibility field, or actually talk to the owner?

Matt5 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Did you sneak in Ninja style, Cloak yourself in an invisibility field, or actually talk to the owner? Great picture. Ha ha - The house is currently empty ( foreclosure ) - and the gardener employed by the real estate agent let me in after saying I was a huge Mv fan- it was lucky she was there as only go once every 3 weeks .

Sonny-Burnett Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Nice shot of the house and the pool. The blue tiles in the pool remain the same from the pool scene with Sonny and Brenda. According to Zillow it is not for sale....apparently no longer on the market? But smaller in size than I assumed from the episodes and maybe a bargain if in foreclosure. A shame as the style of the house is pretty cool.

Yes a shame - the gardener said it had been empty a while - you can see the boards up on the ground floor and all the curtains were pulled closed as you can see the floors above . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
