Miami Beach Today :: Circa 1986-87 

Steve Hickstington thats what got me here lol thanks rockstat

Go awau

The only reason I’m going to Miami next week. I live in Los Santos which is ugly. Not interested in Liberty City either, too gloomy. But Vice City with the old Art Deco and beaches 🥰

It is great Sad that technological limitations caused it to be small Other wise we could have Florida keys etc too

yeah i would love gta 6 to be in vice city

only cause you guys had coke dealers paying for it

@@GiordanDiodato lol

now its a ghetto hole

Same here! The Merrymen, Gloria Estefan, Scarface soundtrack

Me too! Currently here listening to the fever 105fm station while cursing down ocean drive.

Lots of blow

Miami Beach is Miami Beach. However you must have lived in North Jersey because the Jersey Shore is a great area without the warm weather in most seasons & Cuban food.

Laguna Beach here in California comes second. On light surf days our waters are just as crystal clear blue due to the sand bars and rocks in that coastline.

Chancellor Palpatine AKA The Senate if I didn’t live in Florida California would be the second state I go to!

Miami beach and Key West

Absolutely 100% true!! Once you’ve lived in Miami, other places suck.

Stephen Muss at 4:45 wanted to tear down most of the art deco hotels with his Shore Shore Redevelopment plan (south of Fifth) in the early 70s.

i was -11 lol

Those were the best years growing up and having fun on Miami Beach in the 1980s.

True.

True, Shoreisfine. Muss was chairman of the South Shore Redevelopment Agency, which imposed a building moratorium and set forth a master plan to transform virtually everything south of Sixth Street into South Pointe, an upscale tourist, commercial and residential enclave, accentuated throughout by Venetian-style canals. The controversial plan, along with its tax-increment financing scheme, was approved by Miami Beach voters in 1980, to both fanfare and public consternation. By 1982-83, the agency and its designated master developer had failed to reach its benchmarks, leaving the project's most vocal critic and persistently dissenting board member, Norman Braman, welcome opportunities to chip away at public support and upend the project's political underpinnings. The City's costly and ambitious urban renewal project was abandoned soon thereafter. And the rest . . . is history.

same :D :D

yes,yes it is

Gappie Al Kebabi no vice city from gta

Rainbow Boy True. The game was extra awesome for me because it was mapped of South Beach.😎

Hotline Miami

Brazzers Island.

Yes tommy vercetty

He's In the malibu club

Hey there buddy..

10:51, bottom right

Get out

Stealing bikes '' mm nice bike''

Also vice city stories

Ocean Drive still has that weird 80s vibe though with a Bladerunner touch.

In a cocain sort of way

Maybe gta 6 will be in 80s vice city

@@lamardavisakald4438 90's*

Vic Vance died the year before though

And Jacket and Russian mafia

Wildcat66 yes I remember playing with Tommyand Vic in my psp and computer

Basri Bocek its miami

Trust me. No you don't.

Lmao having grown up there I avoid it like the plague. Usually go chill out in Sunny Isles when I take my parents. These days living out on a ranching area here in Southern California about 30 minutes from Los Santos 😎 wouldn’t move back to that pretentious boring god forsaken dump.

Same :(

It was something else.

You won't even have a cellphone then.

Asad Ali And thats a bad thing???

***** not at all. However if you're dispatched back to 80s from today you will feel suffocated due to the lack of things you're used to.

I really wish I could go back in time and enjoy how south beach used to be

hahaha

Only the mayor, who was later convicted of bribery and sent to prison for a little vacation. Google "Sins of the City."

too much crack

@@GiordanDiodato or coke?

It’s a little something called cocaine buddy

Because they were!

So true! It was coke money that built those scrapes!!!

At the time Miami Vice were by its 2nd/3rd season. It wasn't yet full of tourists?

@@vicer84 i wasn't there but ive seen episodes where ocean drive was still a place for elderly people lol in the movie scare face there is a scene

Bullshit didn't happen

Yup I bought waterfront property for 140K now I could never afford it, glad I never moved out. 😂

It’s crazy because inflation would only make that price like $345K today. Shits expensive now lmao

@@blondedblvd It's cheap as hell. Shitty houses in London can cost upwards of 2m. New York is the same.

Yes and boomers and gen x will tell us we have it easier

I think she meant the outhouse.😆

Me, too. Unfortunately, when we shot and produced this project in 1986, 3/4" videotape was the best available camera and production medium. Today, my iPhone and a $200 gimbal can outperform all that clunky, wired camera gear and edit a project in half the time. #DigitalRules

​@RapDaddio cant you digitally remaster it?

BlueGraySkies no

Simon's Home Videos yes

Also,I suppose that young women were really sexy at this time in Miami ?

Haha mucha cocaina en ese tiempo!

Oh you live in a mansion

coupleofbeers31 i lived there too ..earlly 80s

Lies!! It was a nice era then white people must always live in safe white areas

Its bad now but then

So stop lying 10 year old

@IsThisTheKrustyKrab? Dobt listen to him hes full of shit

I wish, Leonid. I granted Channel 10 exclusive on-stage access, in exchange for a copy of the raw footage they shot; then neglected to pickup the footage in a timely manner. It disappeared. Not their fault. Mine, entirely.😢 It remains is a nagging, unforgiving regret and a painful reminder of the perils of procrastination.

@@RapDaddio You mentioned "Copy of the raw footage". Does that mean WPLG still have the master? I checked the Wolfson Archives site and they have some newsreels from this concert, including a shot of Ringo drumming NOT seen in your film. They even posted a single camera shot of the concert, but it breaks after 40 minutes and Ringo would join later that night :/

@@lenchik1 Years later, WPLG was unable to locate the backstage footage. If I recall, almost all of the available Wolfson footage originated at WTVJ. Most is washed-out and badly deteriorated.

Thanks for the nice comment and inquiry, Alan. Would love to help you out, but there are hundreds of super-talented young editors and cinematographers in South Florida highs schools and magnet programs who can out-shoot and out-edit me between classes. Some would take-on a project like this for the experience. Others might try to put the arm on you for a few bucks. In either instance, you'll be happy with the outcome and they'll be happy with the experience. Good luck.

Paradise on Earth

+Shoreisfine True dat. Good observation.

Toxic Turtle 2140 the rooster mask guy was in years 1989
