What a cool logo
Now for some REAL truth. The REAL Bob was a man named Bob Brownlee. He worked for Miami Dade Public Safety office back then. The Sheriff's Department. It was early 70's. He had a manager named Bob Betelli. I know because I worked for the original. Brownlee who left the Barricade business as far as I know when he sold the original "Bob's Barricades" to James A Ryder of Ryder Trucks. I met James A Ryder at a party we had at the shop in Opa Locka, a suburb of Miami. Don't know what happened after I left the company. But the original Bob was real. I used to deliver sump pumps and barricades to job sites in a 3/4 ton truck. Had my own hard hat they gave me so I could drop things at job sites.
Make "Florida" Great Again !! Sing it , Again Captain "Ron" DeSantis Lol...
GREAT CHANNEL!!!
My first TV theme ....good times...;)
what year is this from ? Gotta be mid-50's
I believe its from the mid 60s
The date is listed only as "1960s" in our catalog.
It has to be at least late 63. The announcer at some point mentioned "Cape Kennedy", LBJ changed the name from Cape Canaveral that year. Mid 60's is about right.
I never knew Florida was a heavy manufacturing base. It's a shame the Midtown/Wynwood section of Miami didn't preserve it's industrial roots and invest in light manufacturing jobs instead of frivolous crap like Target.
I remember hearing stories about these storms. I forgot what storms we stayed at Key Largo Elementary School for and some we stayed in Florida City
These were no doubt happy times.
This is classic tv news in Miami in the 1970s.
Now the ridership is surpassed that I’m surprised they didn’t expand it to this very day
Because they're too corrupt.
My father had a newone 1 980 in Costa Rica: bad quality.😢
EXCELLENT!!
If anyone worked the festival and happened to save one of the sweatshirts, I'll pay a lot for an original. Please let me know.

Where was their old studio located? I know the current WTVJ studio is in Broward County next to I-75 in Miramar.
Calle Ocho Street block party started in March of 1978 with over 100,000 people in attendance.
Now in Miami you have to speak both in English and in Spanish!

RIP Governor Graham.
This was before the crack era in South Florida when there was unity in the Black community, Black people stuck together.
All these people are dead
40 years old today! I do have to question why in the world this Metro didn't go to the Miami Airport from the very beginning in 1984. If it was properties in the way then why didn't that extension get built after Andrew hit in 1992? It took Miami 28 years to finally wise up.
It would be so great for us kids ( I moved to Miami at age 13 in 1968) to have Dr P George narrate the locations shown. Thanks for the video I did enjoy it.
Was he being facetious about the handling?...it lost the rear and careened off course!😂😂😂
Thank you for ewing!
A 2500 lbs car with a four cylinder engine getting mileage in the teens is criminal.
That's a shame.
Ahhhh the CIA’s special project.
This makes me sad. I used to go there in my young days with my friends. We had a great time.
Still have one and it still works 😂
the exact guard that shot the kid was a black man.
I lived through Hurricane Andrew in Kendall. We huddled in a hallway with a mattress covering the opening. My dad used to say it sounded like 100 gorillas trying to break in. My dad realized in the peak of the storm that the back door opened inward, and was a weak point. He and my mom left me and my younger brother in the hallway while they went and jammed a couch between the door and the wall, and returned to huddle in the hallway, with a mattress laid down, a radio, snacks, and the nearby bathtub full of water. When we emerged in the morning everything was covered in a bright green film. Our chainlink fence, I remember, was bright green, it ground leaves up into a pulp. Things I didn't recognize as ours, all over our lawn. Our toolshed, gone, the only thing left was the foundation. A nearby culdesac had it worse, several of those homes had their furniture sucked out of the house and tossed into a lake behind their properties. It was surreal. The howling was constant and at its peak it did feel quite frightening, you felt the whole house shaking under strain. I remember coming back to school, I was in 4th grade at Kendale Lakes, and a girl in my class had her mother pass away. They were in a trailer in Homestead. I remember being horrified at the aerial footage of homestead. My grandmother ended up with a peacock in her yard from the Zoo.
Me, my brother and 2 friends, watched the whole thing go down. What a crazy time to live in S. Florida. It was very common to head out for school and see dead bodies in the road
Nobody talks about the Cubans who were also in the Peruvian Embassy in Havana 1980 and who left Cuba with flights to Costa Rica. By the way, I was a lucky one able to get in one of the few flights that Fidel Castro allowed and because he wasn't getting a good press, he then created the Mariel boatlift to send bad Cubans to Miami, and thus he created a different view for the Cuban people who were actually at the embassy.
Did this place give out toys? I have a motorcycle that someone told me might be from here
I grew up on GB radio- he would come on at 5:30 am with his Lone ranger theme song, which was better than any alarm clock. Had a radio in every room tuned to 106 fm. Then in the car on the way to work- couldn't have made it w/o him, Mr friendly, Don Agony, and all his circus crew- It was pure radio talent, not to mention "palmetto bug horror stories" from his female listeners (true stories} that only Floridians would know. Thanks for the mems- break a leg, Greg!
Brilliant!
