[ATTACH=CONFIG]2791[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2792[/ATTACH]Washington and Espanola Way..Pretty sure this where Caitlin meets her demise.....It was also seen in the background of "Everybodys in Showbiz"

If you don't mind me asking, what sources did you use for tracking down these locations?

It looks way different now but it`s from the opening scene in "Brothers Keeper" where the kid is break dancing in the street...I almost missed this one being a restaurant ' date='kinda masked its identity...[/quote'] At least they have good drinks and good food. When I was there I was looking for the Carlyle to take a picture like from the opening scene with Crockett. I was dressed correctly but it was impossible to do it.

They aren't, but they are familiar with the show (they have to be with me talking about it :)). Luckily, I have sooo many things I'm into, it's just another thing for them. I'm into the three original STAR WARS movies, and all sorts of things, but MIAMI VICE is what I go overboard on. It's just....my thing. :thumbsup:I'm obsessed.

I'd say you did way better than pretty ok. :) Well when I do someday make the time to really see Miami and tour the shooting locations I will do it right and plan it like you did. :thumbsup:
