I remember as a little kid staying in these beach hotels. You would play and run on the beach and then try to remember which hotel was the one you were staying in. The secret was to remember the buildings colors paint job. My mom was always worried I would get hit on the head with a coconut , as there were still coconut groves along the beach.

even in 1952, hard to find a spot on the beach 😄😄

What a great kaleidoscope of scenes! Judging from the showing of "With A Song In My Heart", Jane Froman's biographic film, these images would seem to have been taken c.1952. Also looking at the sharpness of all the images even on my widescreen monitor would suggest that the photography was done in 16mm instead of 8mm. If this is 8mm it's one of the sharpest 8mm films I've ever seen.

Back in the 1950's in Miami and MiamiBeach everybody spoke ENGLISH so you felt like you were living in the United States of America instead of some third-world country like it feels today. People showed respect back then and acted civil toward one another. People dressed with dignity and class and acted accordingly. Back then you could find a place to park with little effort. Go to South Beach today and you'd think your in a ZOO! "It's a CRAZY HOUSE"!!!!!!!!

showing my age , been associated with the US , with Florida for my whole life so far forty six years , through countless visits from the UK first from Jamaica , and to me ONLY time Miami was appealing to me was for fourteen years between 1984 and 1998 part of the reason Miami Vice helped that appeal . Now do not miss going there , last place on Earth not go there again . Do not miss it , novelty has worn off , now only go to West Flagler every two weeks for an appointment started June 2021 until November 2023 shocked when found out be there until November 2023 but started so will finish . Where also do not wish to see myself ever again that hell that is Miami International Airport , hate that place with a vengance , when I go back to the UK hope I leave from Ft Lauderdale /Hollywood International Airport same way when I returned to the country the US nearly thirteen years ago . I would rather sail on my suitcase to the UK if I ended up with a flight from that hell that is Miami International Airport . Ft Lauderdale , Hollywood and other places in Florida are far more appealing , and why do people think that Miami is the only place in Florida . When I am asked where in Florida I am I say Pembroke Pines , Florida , when they ask where it is I say it is in Broward County Florida half an hour to forty five minutes from Ft Lauderdale and Miami . Nice area like the rest of Broward County. Miami is known as the Magic City , to me it is the Tragic City . Nice though to see footages of Miami back in the day .

I think the golf course is La Gorce Country Club. I used to live right off the course and can recognize some of the houses.

Imagine if present day Cuban-American dominated Miami suddenly became inhabited by millions of East Asians and the culture and demographics completely changed in just a couple decades, you’d feel the same way about the current Miami as they do about the anglo Miami of the 1950’s. So like I said, I can see both sides. It is what it is.

Wasn't it a southern city back then, before lot of northern retired people and hispanic people moved in.

Forgot to add to the previous post the only thing still appeals to me re Miami are the Miami Dolphins been a fan for forty years now , Miami Hurricanes Football a fan now for nearly twenty four heard of them over the many years since aged four but a regular fan for nearly twenty four years , and the Miami Heat for thirty two years now . Sorry to me they will always be the Florida Marlins , sorry . Florida on a whole has one of the most beautiful sunsets , sunrises and beaches in the world . Hate the weather always have , when it gets cool smiling with glee . Cool again now even can pull out the garbage bin , could not do that when it is back feeling like an oven again , would almost pass out in the drive way .

I see there were lots of old people back then. Now it's gotten to expensive for them to live here. Sadly these were better times.

I don’t see them as racists as racism and segregation was a common feature of the US in that period as well as all over Latin America, those times are over in the US today even in anglo areas all over the US. I see them as a people upset that their city was taken from them through immigration and demographic and cultural replacement so they are upset about it. And because they are upset and sore about it, they use disdain as a means to express their anger over it. If we look at the history of the area, before the Castro regime decided to take over Cuba and communize the island that caused a mass exodus of Cubans (mostly white Cubans) to Miami, Miami was an anglo predominant city and metro area. Hispanics (mostly Cuban whites of European descent) poured into Miami at a number so great, it caused Miami to experience a population and culture replacement. So what we have here is one culture group of people that has disdain for another culture group of people that they feel “took their city away” from them via immigration. They have every right to feel the way they do, so we need not act like they drew first blood. I don’t condone their negative outbursts to express their anger, but I can certainly understand why it’s there and we didn’t do it intentionally, but when I hear hispanic Miamians say “it’s our city now” these provocative outbursts are indeed intentionally harmful.

From gorgeous to garbage.

Watch any modern video with an overview of Miami and tell me if it's garbage...

Sorry this is nice but I prefer 1980s Miami better
