smuggler's blues

You've got a great website, SOFLAJEREMY!

   When I have more time, I'll explore it better. Real nice pics there!

Hi Jeremy,

I am out on the boat for the weekend , Monday I will put the finishing touches on the Smuggler's Blues page and then publish it.

I was just working on this episode for my web site.  There was one location that has been eluding and bothering me for some time.  The phone booth where they make contact with the kidnapper near the end of the episode.  I decided to take another stab at it since I think practice has made my location detecting skills better than the last time I had worked on this episode.  It worked. Through process of elimination using the street layout and the height of the metro rail I finally figured out where this was filmed.  Now I wonder why it took me so long to get it.  SE 6th Street by Associated Photo.  It seems so easy now that I know it.

Nice!

Cool, thanks!

Is anyone familiar with any of the filming locations used in San Juan, Puerto Rico for "Smugglers Blues"?  It doubled for Cartagena, Colombia in that episode.  I'm going to San Juan next month.

Rick Bravo hepped me to the Biscaya as the location for Smuggler's Blues some time ago. I thought it was another building downtown but he set me right on this one. That is another classic Miami Beach structure that should still be standing. No thanks to the likes of Abe Resnick, many historic Miami beach buildings are gone.

What amazes me is that Dade Boulevard was rechristened Abe Resnick Boulevard -  I refuse to accept that, so any time we are discussing that area I for one will always defer to the original name of Dade Boulevard, if only in protest.

The further irony is that this monster Resnick gets a whole boulevard named after him when he is responsible for more destruction of the Deco district than anything else while Barbra Capitman, who fought tirelessly to preserve Miami Beach's historic buildings, only gets a stretch of 10th Street between Ocean and Collins drives as a tribute. That's just not right, folks.

Originally posted by SOFLAJEREMY Starting at the very start of the "Nobody Lives Forever" teaser there are 17 cuts of them driving ... the third cut where you see in the bg the building that I believe was used to have c+t meet the DEA agent in Smuggler's blues and is no longer there.

(from this thread)

Interesting! The building was located at West Ave & 5th St, on the west side of Miami Beach where MacArthur Causeway starts.


    
    
    
    
    

That's kool. It's great that they used the proper geography of the city in the final scene with the trailer blowing. makes it all the more real. Nice one for finding it.
