When MIAMI Was Still MIAM

When MIAMI Was Still MIAMI - Experience the chaotic, dangerous, and electric Miami of the late 1970s and 1980s when cocaine money was building the skyline, 125,000 Cubans arrived in five months during the Mariel boatlift, and South Beach was a decaying Jewish retirement community before anyone called it glamorous. Before luxury condos and Art Basel, Miami was genuinely on the edge. The 1980 Mariel boatlift bringing 125,000 Cubans overwhelming city infrastructure, Miami's homicide rate highest in the nation with the morgue renting refrigerated trucks, the Dadeland Mall massacre of 1979 with cartel gunmen using automatic weapons, cocaine money laundering billions through Miami banks and funding the rising skyline, Miami Vice premiering September 1984 and redefining the city's image worldwide, South Beach as a run-down retirement community with Art Deco buildings saved by Barbara Capitman's preservation fight in 1976, Little Havana's Calle Ocho with ventanita coffee and Maximo Gomez Park dominoes, the Haitian community arriving by boat and being deported while Cubans were welcomed, Cuban restaurants serving complete meals for $4-5, and the Miami Sound of KC and the Sunshine Band and Gloria Estefan emerging from the chaos. This was Miami before the money cleaned it up. #Miami #MiamiVice #MarielBoatlift
