Last weekend I was able to go to Los Angeles for a few days. I wasn’t really there to be a tourist, but I wanted to fit in at least a little sightseeing, as it was my first extended amount of time in LA.
I saw the Chinese Theater, I saw the Hollywood sign, but the first thing I saw?
The very first day?
I went to the Del Amo Fashion Center. So that I could go to the mall food court. The one that was featured in Jackie Brown.
I know that’s a location unlikely to be included in the usual tours, but I was seriously thrilled. The only way I could have been happier was if the food chain Teriyaki Donut really existed.
So if you had the opportunity to visit it, what movie location would make you geek out? And have you ever been disappointed when a location was revealed to be false – like, say, the cool retro restaurant from Pulp Fiction?

The restaurant from “Hard Boiled”, although if I ever see doves flying by, I’M RUNNING.
Although the White Castle from the first Harold and Kumar movie would be awesome as well

I have been to a few movie locations having grown up in Southern California. They use to film the fight scenes for the Power Rangers just down the street from my home. And my rival high school (Valenica High school) was the set for Romy and Michelle’s High School reunion and the opening part of Pleasantville.
I can’t say those two are really exciting but they did blow up my hometown on 24 which was pretty awesome. I now live in Denver, CO and I would love to see some of the places in Colorado Springs that they used in filming Stargate SG1.
