The Royal Laundry Complex from the “As Long As You Love Me” Music Video
‘ Friends often refer to me as a “foamer,” i.e. a person who foams at the mouth over all things Disney. Apparently, I am not a very good one, though, because up until just recently I had no clue that for the past thirteen years the Disney Store has been headquartered at the Royal Laundry…

Mike had found the location of the Hotel St. James thanks…

The “Eye for an Eye” House

Bob Hope Patriotic Hall from “Flashdance”
‘ Anyone who has ever driven on the I-10 Freeway east of downtown Los Angeles has most likely noticed the A-line, red-roofed building that towers over the skyline to the south.
