On Netflix there are several great series on the 1980’s drugs in Miami. “Narco” and “Griselda” are just two of the great ones. The 1980’s were a wild time for the LGBT community in South Florida too. There was the Marlin Beach Hotel with the famous Jules Verne Room and The Copa, just to name a few. I remember we were in Miami in the early 1980’s with a crazy fun friend who spoke Spanish. We were walking around looking at all the mega yachts. One of the yachts had armed men on board. Our friend asked them in Spanish “Who owns this Yacht?” The armed guard replied “I’m going to act like you just did not ask that!!! Move on NOW!!!” Our friend turned white and said we got to get out of here now. Thinking back…. How lucky we were. The 1980’s were very wild. We were so young and so naïve.
