Arnold’s Turtle – The Inspiration for Central Perk on “Friends”
‘ It appears that my posts have been heavy on filming location inspiration as of late. On Friday, I blogged about the Annie orphanage and the two buildings that it was modeled after.

Bad Day!
‘ This past Friday was an exceptionally bad day for me and my family. Not only did I have to take my dad to the emergency room, but while we were there we received a phone call that my uncle was being rushed into the OR for an emergency bypass surgery – it ended up…

The (Probable) Warehouse from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Video
‘ Another day, another “Beat It” locale! After tracking down the probable diner that appeared in “Beat It”, I set my sights on locating the warehouse which was also featured in Michael Jackson’s iconic 1983 music video.

Though, since The Goldbergs is still on the air, I guess there’s still hope for the latter two. I mean, any romance that starts out…

SecondHand Wonderland
‘ My BFF Mike, from MovieShotsLA, recently opened a vintage/collectables shop named SecondHand Wonderland in Simi Valley. The boutique’s motto is “Not your average thrift store,” which couldn’t more perfectly encapsulate the place. Mike has accumulated a massive amount of entertainment memorabilia, movie props, sports collectables, magazines and vintage toys over the years, all of…

The Old Zoo In Griffith Park
‘ Just around the corner from the Griffith Park Merry Go Round, which I blogged about yesterday, is the location of the park’s former zoo – an abandoned site which is commonly referred to as the Old Zoo or the Old Zoo Picnic Grounds. I first found out about this location from favorite stalking tome…

The “WarGames” 7-Eleven
‘ I am not a spontaneous person by nature. I much prefer planning things out, especially when it comes to vacations. Typically when going on a trip, I investigate any and all filming that has been done in the area we are heading to. As I mentioned in Monday’s post, though, our Big Bear Lake…
