MIAMI 1982 HIALEAH ( 1710 E 5th Ave, Hialeah to Airport )

I was 13 when I took this video with a QUASAR Video Camera . It was Sunday January 24 about 11:00 am because my flight was at 1:40 pm by Eastern Airlines to San Juan I still have the tickets because that was my best vacation I ever had years later I Still had not forgot.

[@_-MiamiVice-_]

That radio in the background playing songs, that are classics now...

[@Dstrbrdgrnd]

My grandparents came to Hialeah in 1920 to race greyhounds. Grandpa bought the plot from E. 4th Ave to E. 5th Ave from 12th street to 13th street. Had a house built in 1925, still on the corner at 402 E. 13th street. The house I grew up in was moved onto the property in 1926, 426 E. 13th st. HIALEAH IS MY HOMETOWN.

[@jvarela965]

I lived in Miami Beach 1980-82. Many people today cannot believe South Beach was once the low rent district then.

[@Carlos-nq7up]

Yep! Miami Beach in the 80s was a hell hole. Unlike today, there was parking space everywhere on the Beach back then.

[@denniswilson8189]

My mom worked at the hotel across the street from the old civic center and i remember all the jues living on miami beach !! I also was born on miami beach at mt sini hospital in 1975 !! Truly the good ol days

[@Carlos-nq7up]

Wow! Look at all of those American Cars!! 🚗

[@thomasmendez1843]

Watch a nice glimpse at the 80’s what a beauty of an era

[@GiordanDiodato]

yeah with threats of nuclear annihilation, an economy that was destroyed, and social unrest. What an era

[@MrMelgibstein]

The music was great back then ,I thought it would never end,until the 90s when people started wearing clocks.

[@193848663]

I was 14 at the time and used to live in Kendall, this brought me back to a simpler time when Kendall drive was a two lane road (now six lane) and there was only farms and wetland after Sw 147th ave. I still remember the I-95 radio station. I used to race my late-brother with his Trans Am and my Camaro late at night on Kendall, man a lot of Memories.

[@foesperu84b]

I arrived to Miami on 86 and moved to the beautyful city of Hialeah were I left returning back to my homeland Peru after I retired as a employee from miami dade county.

[@Clint1448]

Awesome video. I grew up in Carol City but went to Hialeah Speedway most Saturday nights also Westland Mall, Figaro’s for pizza. Bought my first truck at Johnson Ford which later because Gus Machado Ford.

[@asielmilian38]

A time when Hialeah was a great place to live and you could afford a house but nowadays you can't afford anything.

[@Carlos-nq7up]

Yes! Everything in Dade County is overpriced!!

[@GiordanDiodato]

and every other block had coke dealers

[@denniswilson8189]

Asiel i was 6 yrs old at the time i use to go up to carrol city to my aunts house off 185 ter & 32 ave !! My dad worked for black well plumbing in those days !! So you definitely right about that

It trips me out to see Hialeah in the 80s man, like wow. I like this Hialeah. Not today’s Hialeah, to much traffic 😂😂😂

That moment when "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart started playing (2:24), I love it! I was born in 1997, but my soul must be from the 80s :) Now only videos like this one, music, TV and video games can let me somehow experience those beautiful times...

[@christiangonzalez7620]

Same fucken hear im from '97 and something about the 80s is where my soul belongs

[@merfwriter]

How come I was born in the early 80's and others wish they were born in the 80's. Saying things like I was in 1997 or 2001 but my soul belongs in the 80's. Did we souls have some huge fight up in Heaven over who was going to be born first in which decade and to which parents. I imagine us all stand in line in heaven waiting to be born and a boy comes up to me and asks "hay can I ask you a question? What year did you get to be born in? Me: 1982. You? Boy: Ahh, 199. Say, can we maybeee trade places. Me: Sorry no can do. I already signed a contract with that couple down there. Boy: oh come on, look I'll do anything to go down there and experience the 80's. It looks like its going to be an amazing decade! Me: Their only 2 years in so far how can you tell? Boy: I just have a really good feeling about it. Me: Who's your parents that you sign your contract with? Boy: Oh, they're down there. Me: Those two kids? They look young teenagers. Their too young to get married and have a baby. Look buddy, my parents are in their early 30's, been married for 5 years, and have been really trying to have baby. My soon to be mother sadly already had two miscarriages so.....THIRD TIMES THE CHARM BABY!!! Boy: Yeah but can't I just switch please with you? You can have my parents and I can have yours? Please? Me: Look did you sign the contract and talked over with the big guy upstairs. Boy: Yeah. Me: Then what's done is done. Get outta here kid! It's time for me to reincarnate!

There used to be a great restaurant in Hialeah on 103rd /49 street called Lila's it was great bistec empaniza covered with a mountain of French fries, so good

[@letsgoforadrive...4801]

Thanks for uploading this! At the 2:00 mark there's a Lums restaurant on the left, that was my first part time job, my mom worked there too. I was working there in '82 but I always had Sunday off so I wasn't there when you passed by. I was 15, I'm pretty sure that's at East 8th ave and 9th street.

[@Andy-kw5nw]

I knew I wasn’t crazy! There was an I95 radio station when I was a kid growing up in Miami!

[@alexlox1015]

Yeah me too! I remember I95, and I think it had a rainbow 🌈 . Miami was kicking ass back then! 🤘🏼 Who would have ever thought that its future would be crap. RIP 80s.🙏🏼

Le Jeune Road doesn't look like that any more... I even forgot that there was a Winn Dixie off of Le Jeune road and Okeechobee road. I remember on the other side was the Holiday Inn treetop, and if you would go through Okeechobee to 36 street you would see the Pink Pussy Cat Go-Go lol.. OMG what memories..

Thing were quite different back then, yes less traffic, and less people, now it is a melting pot, loads of traffic and load of different cultures, Crazy Uff yes, local don't even want to go to Miami Beach, it's full of tourist and over rated.
