Not quite up to date, but I know all the points and remember the times, for I was about to be an infant.
The U of M campus was just re-built then, super-modern. My Ernie was a student there when this film was made.
Get a Chevrolet. The old Rickenbacker Causeway, named after the WW1 flying ace and founder of Easter Airlines;
the beaches, all remain as they were, more or less. Enjoy. Show your hometowns?

"HQ" the film.
There too is the Venetian Pool, where I dream to one day ride my ebike. I grew up one city block away from the pool.
Note the caves: where couples frolic away from prying eyes, other than those of laughing children.
It is a shallow pool for the most part. It is truly the most beautiful pool in the world, a former rockpit quarry for our native limestone.

I'm crying because I miss her again so much.
The Miracle Theater is shown here, almost exactly in its original, ca. 1948 condition.
Ernie attended its opening night.
Fern, in 1960, took me there to see a comedy picture, "Flubber";
the first sit-down movie experience I'd ever enjoyed. My mother would never have done such a deed.
I jumped with joy at every aspect, from the drive to the theater, into the lobby, popcorn and candy, Fern and the movie.
It is all nostalgic, but most meaningful to this six year old. I cry. See the new Coral Gables?
