Epsideo 49 - The Good Collar

That is really interesting - I looked into this location last Year and thought it odd too. I knew I could not locate a real diner in that area.

I googled imaged the teaser scene of this episode in a "Good Collar" Thread by here in Dec heres link or go to page 2 on this thread

The Opening Scene of "The Good Collar"as the opening credits roll .Crockett is clearly seen over the river from the back of the Convention Centre/Clarion/Hyatt Hotels on the bit of land opposite.

SAME Location as above but further to the right almost opposite the Hyatt Rear Courtyard ( The lights are The Hyatt's)



    
    
    
    

Drug house around 15:00 - house number is 227. This address would fit perfectly if it were next to the alley Collins Ct. or at the southern end of Miami Beach near 2nd/3rd St. I looked around but couldn't find anything. If it was there, it could easily have been replaced.

P.S. Nice rundown of the driving scene, nice view of La Paloma Restaurant on bird's eye.


    

In the scene Airtommy just showed us above we also see the arched footbridge from the teaser of "Out Where The Buses Don't Run" which I believe does not exist any more.

Here's a few scene recreation shots from the teaser where Crockett busts Archie, and the latino gang attempts to mark their turf (First is a MV screen capture, second is my recreation shot.):

The above is Española Way at Drexel Avenue. The area has been spruced up considerably and barely resembles the ghetto scene in the ep, but the buildings are the same so if ya excercise yer x-ray vision and look past all the new glitter and landscaping ya oughtta be able ta recognize da scene - and ya know dat!

I want so much to find the 227 drug house. Airtommy already tried to suss this out and I drove the area in search of, but I have not been able to find it. Rats! 

Keep this in mind: The Art Deco district's southern border is 6th street. The area south of that is not protected by the historic district regulations and is therefore open territory for - ugh - redevelopment. As such, if the 227 house is/was anywhere down in that area, it may be gone today.

P.S. I'm also looking for the alley where Tubbs chases down and tackles the latino gang leader (Who, in what looks like an homage to a scene from "Brothers' Keeper," flashes his badge at Tubbs and identifies himself as a cop, saying, "Nice tackle.".). Here's a screen capture of the scene. The way it's cut one would think it's an alley behind Española Way, but I have found no such place. Might this be the opposite end of the 227 drug house alley?

can't believe you don't recognize this location  used in at least two other episodes.  even a martian knows the neighborhood hint hint  look at recent location trivia but if you go there be careful of the rapist who lives there

Sweet, Jeremy found it! It's the alleyway Collins Court just north of 1st Street. That's the same place where Eddie & Bobby were tossing the football at the beginning of "Red Tape".

Your instincts were correct! The drug house was 227 1st St, next door to the Nemo Hotel.

So, the alley around the corner from the 227 drug house was the same alley as in the teaser.


    
    
    

this street was also used in "Hell hath no Fury" where Gina and Stan were on stakeoutin the bugvan.

did I win the steak knifes, soflajeremy ?

I just studied the Gina/Stan scene in Hell Hath No Fury. It isn't Collins Ct, it's Ocean Ct. You can see Lummus Park when Beeks goes to his car. It looks to me like it was filmed around Ocean Ct & 12th St (same as his assassination).


    
    
    

I didn't see any visual clues as to which school it is.
