    Why would they butcher such a iconic place. They should have kept the room and made it an attraction

      Right?!?! I got to see that stretch of Ocean Blvd mid 80s
      Was pretty beat up and just starting to be renovated
      However the buildings were all still painted in those wonderful colors
      I know all the white is modern and all but really they need to restore it back to those iconic Miami art deco colors
      Fountain Bleu as well
      Since Goldfinger , the poolside beach cabanas were sooooo Miami
      Modernization isn't always a good idea

    True story, I lived in Naples Fl in the early 80s I worked at a new movie theater there called The Pavilion. Scarface was playing there. One night Al Pacino and Stephen Baur came there to watch Scarface. They wanted to see the audience reaction. Long story short, He was very nice Mr Pacino. Signed a movie poster we had for Scarface. Said a line from the movie and gave us girls a kiss. ❤️😊. Thanks for the great Vlog And Chris the girl

    I have to say that your Scarface video is one of the best TH-cam videos I've watched in a while. I'm a big Scarface fan and to see the area's in Miami where the movie was made had me smiling throughout your presentation. Very well executed in every respect. Our national news media could take a lesson from how well you explained the movie. Being a Tampa guy I also love your other videos like the Manatee River bridge, (Orange Blossom Special). Keep up the great work and I'll stay a loyal follower.

    While near Miami, you have to see a place called "Aerojet" that is south of homestead Florida in everglades swampland. Its a huge complex of a dozen or more buildings spread way apart in the middle of nowhere. Its been abandoned since the 60's when they mixed solid rocket fuel in one set of buildings, and fired the rockets from the most remote buildings and silo. Urban explorers go there sometimes but you need a bicycle or its a long walk down a long road that fish and wildlife used excavators to tear up in places so you can't drive there. Buildings are open, no doors mostly, and lots of cool rocket making stuff.
