Grew up there. From " God's waiting room " to Miami Vice , to the overbuilt jungle that it is today😢
"God's waiting room" too funny. Sounds like rocking chairs along Ocean Drive hotels in the 1970's.
@@videogarage9221 i was like that.
"I dont have it on me right now- I got it close by."
"Well, I don't have the money either, I got it close by too." 😄

You want me to come in...we start over again, mang?

Coño!
This is north of Miami, Hollywood and ft Lauderdale. I grew up here in these times!!🙌🙏😃
This was the Miami Sea Aquarium.
When my city was beautiful... Now we r full of ..........
Cubans
Awesome 1978 Miami archive footage video!
Thanks!
That looks more like fort lauderdale's stretch of beach than miami's. Awesome video.
It’s ocean drive in Miami Beach a lot of those buildings are still there
but it's not...grew up on these streets
No one over weight
Food back then wasn't packed with chemical junk like now.
@@Saturnia2014 That and video games and computers were still in their infancy.
The good old days
RIP Flipper, Jackie Gleason and Wolfie Cohen. That was YOUR town...
Not South Beach. The beach scenes are actually hollywood beach next to the old boardwalk.
Oh my God, the first time I went to the Miami Seaquarium was in 1978. I remember all these exhibitions, specially the dolphins and the Orcas. I also remember Flipper's house. I remember there was an Ice cream sandwiche machine somewhere around the park. I loved those sandwiches. I wonder in what month of the year this movie was shot.
Wts your age
Crazy what you said 👍
I liked the wax machines
Such an absolutely beautiful place! From it’s breathtaking beaches, diversified people, and culture. Love and miss it from this South Florida we all knew and loved.
Look at it now...it has become such a dump
@@s3bastiannaumann1996 No English is spoken either.
@@thedirtybubble9613 people always spoke Spanish in southern Florida, your share short distances with other countries hell the southern most tip has a tropical environment which cannot occur anywhere else in the country other than that specific part of Florida because of how close it is
@@thedirtybubble9613Believe me, people speaking Spanish are not the problem here, but the recent migrations from the North, which obviously speak English. The Cubans arrived in early 80s and Miami was great in the whole 80s. As a Brazilian i would 100% prefer to talk to that descendant of Cuban Americans then the ghetto creators you have now. Every city who is too much in the spotlights is target of that kind of people, unfortunately. That happens here in Brazil, we have cities as beautiful as Miami like Balneario Camboriu and Florianopolis, which are very different from the rest of Brazil and very developed, wealthy and modern by Latin American standards. I hope both of us have migrations controlled and we have more free market, the leftards destroyed the whole system with colossal taxes and by turning the country the paradise for bureaucrats/parasites.
My family and I moved down here I was a teenager starting High School , did not like it here but I got used to it. Thank you Mom and Dad miss you guys
The first minute of this film footage was shot along Hollywood Beach and not in Miami. The last minute of this footage was shot in Ft.Lauderdale.
Awesome time beautiful ocean 🌊
Love the post.
Pretty sure that orca was Tillikum
Is it just me or does $3.49 for a fish fry seem expensive for 1978?
Yup.
Anymore Miami Footage From The '70s & '80s.?
I was in Florida in the late seventies was very small one of the earliest visits from the UK . February 1979 went to a family friend's wedding on my birthday with my maternal parent , and we packed Summer clothes , when we arrieved did not realize that Florida can get quite cold , so straight to Sears to get Winter clothing , and we got some beautiful clothes , give Florida that their shopping is quite world class , I wore a beautiful little dress with flowers and leaves on it , little socks and white boots , long plaits , my Maternal parent wore a fab dress . Over the many years coming to Florida ALWAYS hated the weather , but one Christmas 95 coming on another visit from London nice and cold . Got to Florida my heavens , in the pool one minute out the next , could not even decorate a tree outside wanted to be indoors , went to Christmas Eve service dressed the same way usually dress in London in the Autumn and Winter hats, gloves , scarf and coats very bizarre . It kills me to see people dress like they are on an Artic expedition , and five minutes later it is back to being an oven again, like when Florida is from the late 50s up to 72 beyond that do not want to know , can actually enjoy my excercise walk . This coming week of November 2nd , 2020 another cold front , what complete joy . I hope they have closed Seaworld and Miami Seaquarium , as a child find it entertaining , as you get older find out they are very brutal . Want to see animals entertain , see them in their own natural envrionment .
Does everything from back then feel like a dream
I love histories like that. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing :-)
That's Hooolllyyyywooood at the beginning 🎉 I know that's my hometown beach. I live in Brevard but far away from the beach, was used to living 10 minutes away, miss it so😢
I lived in coconut Grove in 1978, Mutiny waiter ,Coconut Grove Hotel, where did everybody go????
I grew up in Florida, I remember when it was like this.
What do you notice, what’s different?
The number of people.
The 70’s were great, 80’s were fun, then it all started turning to sh1t.
The 90s were still decent. I think it went to sh*t by the turn of the 21st century.
I'm glad I moved to Austin,Tx by 1983.
@@thedirtybubble9613 the world always starts to become shit ten years after the previous generation thought the world went to shit, Lets just admit its all shit, there was no "good times" everyone has always been death and miserable, misery and suffering are inevitable parts of the human experience, its just that people conveniently select the decade they were a kid/teenager to be the last good decade.
Who’s here after GTA 6 would be announced to be released in the 1980s time period 😩
Ps just to say forgot to mention in the post that Miami was at its best for me between 1984 and 1997 , also Miami Vice made it the place to be again .
Funny, those are almost the exact years I went there. Hopped on a plane from San Antonio after a late night bar gig... I never forgot it. Went about seven times.
Yup even Bad Boys filmed there in 1995.
Bonito videos de esos tiempo verdad😁😬☕🖐️☺️
What a beautiful city used to be Miami
Until July 11 1979, the date of the infamous shootings in Dadeland Mall which marked the beginning of a dark era in Miami’s history
The Colombian drug wars which lasted throughout the first years of the 1980s
Miami became one of the most dangerous cities in America during those years
Andrés Valor flores liberalism has destroyed many lives and cities. Everything is touches it destroys.
Was known the world over , still Miami to me was at its best between 1984 abd 1997 . Miami Vice also helped make Miami the place to be again
@@giofyr Republican war on drugs is more to blame, but alright.
@@giofyr Wholeheartedly agree, just like communism
@@Saturnia2014 it’s got nothing to do with the Republicans. Just say no! Drugs are bad! Selling rocks is wrong. DARE This is your brain on drugs…
What I loved about The Miami Seaquarium were the wax-figure-making machine.
Yes!
Yes I remember the wax figures.
I ate one
I got one from Cypress Gardens in the late 60s 😂
born in Miami 1959 moved to broward in the 90s,greynolds park,haulover beach,163 street shopping center ,fun fair ...
Mercy Hospital 1959...grew up in Carol City
@robertthomas1569 hey rob graduated carol city senior high 77
Wow I lived in there 1980s
This is how I remember, all over South Florida. I was living in Broward at the time then Dade.
Ah yes I remember it well...
The whales' names were Hugo and Lolita
Good times at all.
Music?
interesting....
That video is from Broward County (Hollywood Beach)
The only one thing that I want to ask. Is Tommy Vercetti live around here? Did he was born already?
Yes....Tommy from gta vice city......he was like 30 or up years when vice city happen in 1980
Tommy was in jail in '78 and 27 years old. Still had 5 more years to serve
What a time. We were lucky
Igualito a vice city
53 years later. Still basically the same around north and south beach. Just alot less cocaine these days lol
South Beach looks almost nothing like 70's except maybe a bit of Ocean Drive between 5th and Lincoln.
- Miami native
Except for basically the entire vibe and all the same buildings just new paint and names on the buildings and obviously newer cars driving around. Still the same man. Non native yearly visitor to south beach
Is this a joke?
starts out with Hollywood beach boardwalk
My grandparents made the worst decision of their lives selling the home 🏡 we had in north Miami 1120 nw 123 st near Tom S pool on 125 st this home 🏡 was built new we all came from New York city and moved in Oct 72 it was cold 🥶 and I had a great life with my little Italian girlfriend ❤ Rosie at the end of the block we had endless fun in those days every time I drive by I want to cry because it meant the end of happiness for me and them . My grandparents were Miguel and Evelia pena . I was 10 in 1972 when we moved in because of the big mistake on her part convincing my grandfather to sell both the lives of my grandparents later on became very heavy and burdensome I John stayed with them till the last passed on but always felt a separation between them both for the actions they took with the house 🏠 nothing was the same ever. We left the house in late 1979 .
I love dolphins, a once in a lifetime touched a Dolphin, very smooth skin.
Naber reis
Dan Marino?
First time I visited Miami was in 1981.
Those poor animals, so sad to watch
Glorious to watch.
There all dead and have been for decades. Where we're you? You could have tried to save them. Even the birds. The fish 🐟 are best kept in the water. I was born in florida in the mid 1980's. Poor nothing I feel bad for the dogs chained to the side of a fence. Left alone, the ones that don't get any love. These animals were loved and looked after.
@@buddywilliams5650 psycho. i'm sad for you too
@@julit7304 psycho nothing. I love animals More than you. You seem to have a serious problem with empathy. What is so sad about the animals in this video? You explain it to me. I don't see anyone harming them or neglect from anyone. Go hug a tree.
Yes, the fin flop on the orcas was sad. We've learned a lot since then.
Pablo Escobar 4:22?!
Looks like his twin brother
Ehh... No. Lots of people had mustaches in the 70s.
@@thedirtybubble9613 pretty close tho lol
@@frankb4199 No it's not. That guy is tall and white.
@@thedirtybubble9613 welllll I think it is👏🏻
Era tutto piu bello :)
Why ruin the footage by adding stupid watermark?? Couldn't you at least leave it at a corner of display?
BEFORE CARTER LET CASTRO TURN IT INTO A COCIANE CAPITAL>
um "hollywood beach" is not Miami, just saying.
Wrong.Hollywood,Fla is a beautiful beach Uhhhh Duhhh just sayin'!
Some would say 1978 was the last "good" year to be in Miami before the place went to hell. I don't know. I think 1998 was the last good year down there.
2056 was the last good one, until they started putting massive balloons like in UP on skyscrapers to keep the city from sinking into the pacific with the rest of new-west florida
presidentking super george bush 4000 doesen't know what he's doing after the gravity spill ruined his microwave casserole
Vice city !
before they came down and ruin it / stupid music
It looks the same nowadays just not the cars
Not all all. The buildings are all different and so are the people.
I wish I was there, now Miami is a dirty place with weed sellers and homeless people on benches..
Even in Hollywood and Miami beach
We moved to west palm beach in 1978, I remember it like it was yesterday, life was way better than this suck hole we live in , with our tyrannical government you see that ship on that water, back then , I bet my dad was in contact with that vessel right there, my dad worked for RCA GLoBAL communications at the time , back then telegraph \ ham radio was your form of communication back then. And that’s what my dad did for a living, he was 1 of the few to have such a Cush job with great pay
Hojo’s!!!
Vice city
Compare with today’s “walking tours”, VERY different society. Which one was/is the more brainwashed ?
N A R C O S
😂😂😂
All you can eat 4$ wtf bring back the gold standard
You do realize $4 in 1978 is like $16 today?
@TheDirtyBubble do you realize that 4 dollars should still be 4 dollars but the dollar has been weaked due to the federal reserve fractional banking system ? Do you kno what inflation is do you kno what a central bank is ? DO you kno WHAT TREASURY IS ?
@@jthrilla9147 Yeah right $4 back then should still be $4 today and gas should still be 80 cents/gal and rent should still be $100.
@TheDirtyBubble INFLATION ISNT REAL DO SOME WORLD FINANCIAL HISTORY FIRST TIP US TREASURY IS SUPPOSE TO PRINT OUR MONEY PER THE CONSTITUTION. IT ILLEGAL FOR IT NOT TO BE. FEDERAL RESERVE IS A PRIVATE BANK
@@jthrilla9147 Calm down now.
It's crazy to think that all these people have since passed on. R.i.p. to them as well as Michael Jackson and all his fans and victims 💔 😢 😔 💙 🙏
Most of these people are probaly still alive and what victims?
@@Justsomeguywithabeard69 haha, imagine thinking that everyone from the 80s is now dead.
@@SxGaming3390thats not true
Most of these people are sitting on their lanai in the Villages smoking a fatty
Okay but that train looks futuristic
